If you're looking for a fork made for handling a front motor

[PrimeGoat]

It's not easy to find the ideal suspension fork for a motorized wheel. The dual motor ebike that I have seems to have a decent one. These are made by E-Bycco, EXRBYXO, and several other companies. You can find the bikes on Amazon. The fork itself you can order here: EBYCCO electric bicycle front fork/shock/suspension
Be sure to select the "5000W G7 Front Fork" option. I have attached images so you can see how it looks. Note how the dropout is designed. A thick and sturdy piece of metal, cut in a way that allows for great structural integrity and load-bearing stability. On my bike, it came with its own torque plate, which the standlone fork did not include. However, it's not hard to make your own. I recommend getting an actual torque arm or two though, speficially from GRIN Technologies. You can buy them here: Torque Arms - Grin Products - Product Info
I got a V2, which partially interferred with the stock torque plate. I ended up cutting part of the plate off to fit the arm. I don't recommend having to do that. As for which arm to get, I would recommend the V6 or V7, though I haven't formally tested compatibility, so be sure to look into that first.

What I feel is puzzling, is tha i see the mods/admins spend quite a bit of time consolidating duplicate posts, while the rules of ES don’t highlight that as an issue or rule, and focus mainly on the touchy-feely stuff about not being an ass or mean to people. Although moderator work is spent on the consolidating stuff as well, it’s not part of the documented duties, just general housekeeping.

I think RST has a suspension fork that has lowers constructed of steel, and while heavy, IMO would be my choice for a front hubbie with suspension fork if I didn't just use a steel Surly rigid with torque arm.

I've read that a hub motor on the same axle with a a suspension fork are not the best combination. Do you lose motor efficiency? Are these special forks designed differently? On my bike, have a front suspension fork only, and a rear hub motor.

The torque will cause the dropouts to break, and the rider to hit the asphalt with their face. So it's very crucial to have the right kind. The best kind, due to typical available options, is none at all. Until someone invented this thing (there are a couple others too that I've come across, but overall these are very rare). 5158 miles so far and no face plants as of yet. As for the fat tires, they were the solution to pinch flats. My regular-tire ebike had pinch flats every week sometimes. With fat tires, so far it's been every eternity. Never got any yet.

I found multiple people who needed the same answer, and wanted to make sure they got it, because finding this particular answer was a pain in the ass that took many months to achieve. If this were to happen to me, I would have been grateful. I definitely was when I finally found it myself. That's why I did it. That particular issue was very hard to solve, so I knew the chances were that they wouldn't find out about it if I hadn't told them. I was being pragmatic. To be honest, I've only made a few forum posts in my entire life since I first went online in 1995 (people can be unpleasant to deal with, so I tend to keep to myself), so I'm probably unaware of the nuances of forum etiquette. And no, I don't sell anything (perhaps I should though, as I make parts and mods) and I don't work for e-bycco or get any commission from them. I just wanted to make sure the people who needed a good fork were able to find one.

Sorry, I didn't know. Like I told other dude, I rarely use forums. Can you please explain to me what approach I should have taken instead? So that all of those posts in which people needed a fork with dropouts strong enough to handle kilowatt-class motor torque would get the answer they were looking for? Finding this was very far from a trivial task, and there were several times I was convinced it was going to be impossible, so the information has value and rarity, and I wanted to share it with others in need.
