Hello,
I have been reading on this forum that mounting a front motor on a shock fork is not the best practice. However, for the sake of convenience and expense, I am still interested in mounting a low power motor in front. The lower Half of the shock fork is STEEL and I would use two torque arms (any recommendations there would be appreciated). Would it be safe to mount a 500W geared motor with 48V battery, or would that be pushing it? If so, what would be the max for safety. I am more concerned with uphill power. I would like to achieve a top speed <25mph
This is the fork:
