    Downtube Folding bikes: Help picking a front hub motor & battery

    Thank you very much for your feedback & insight. Might you have a few brands of front wheel motors that are easily available and quick to install? I found Geo Orbital, https://www.geoo.com . This would be an easy aftermarket install for us to modify new bikes before shipping to customers. This...

    Downtube Folding bikes: Help picking a front hub motor & battery

    Hi everyone! I design Downtube folding bikes. We have decided to add a front hub electric conversion option. Let me explain my thinking on using a front hub motor. 1. Folding bikes are normally rear heavy. Hence they can pop wheelies on steep climbs. Putting more weight up front will help with...

    Folding Bikes: Full suspension + under 24"

    Stig thanks for the welcome message! 100mm front and 135mm rear we use 68mm english threaded 114mm BB on most of our bikes. We use 1 1/8" threadless on the 9FS, 1 1/8" threaded on the 8FS. The 9FS uses an integrated headset. Thanks, Yan

    Folding Bikes: Full suspension + under 24"

    If it is awkward for me to join I will happily leave.I have been active on bikeforums.net for 10+ years. The Nova is my least favorite model, it is cheap in every way. However it is logically equivalent to the big box $500+ entry level models ( compared feature wise ) and it retails for $259...

    Folding Bikes: Full suspension + under 24"

    Folding Bikes: Full suspension + under 24"

    Folding bike owners don't lube their chains??? As if 'ALL folding bike owners don't lube chains?'...I guess all our bikes are in a trunk so no one ever rides them anyway. Please don't generalize for other people, there is not much I can say about everyone that will be true. We use a heavy duty...

    Folding Bikes: Full suspension + under 24"

    Our bikes are the stiffest you will find ( in the horizontal plane) the suspension is very soft in the vertical direction. Our folding joint is one of the largest you will find on any folding bike. Creeking is not normal on any folding bike, I expect it is a product of metal on metal contact...

    Folding Bikes: Full suspension + under 24"

    Really??? Please clarify your logic. I introduced this bike in 2005 and it has been our best selling frame for the past 10 years. We have sold thousands and I think I have had one warranty claim ( in a decade ). Clearly you must know something I don't. Thanks, Yan
