I'm building a commuter ebike in Vermont. I'm using a high voltage (72v 20ah) and a heavy motor (x5303) and I'm wondering if I can put it on a road bike I have. The frame is sturdy. It's a Raleigh Competition from the 70s built out of 531 steel. The only problem is I think I need a different front fork for the motor. I don't trust the spindly little thing that I have now. Does anyone here know of a place I can get a front fork that is wider/heavier but has the long top-end that would fit a road frame?
I'm pulling the batteries in a one wheel Bob trailer so I'm not worried too much about the amount of weight on the frame itself. I think the bike will work for a summer commuter as long as I can replace the front fork . . .
all the best,
