Looking good, they are some nice forks I believe.
I'm not sure you'll fit a 7 speed on there, as you've listed but theres a few options out there. Whats the bike in the background. I'm interested in something similar down the line for cruising.

Hi Rad

you going to have fun, Should put bigger BMS and Controller always good to not be on limit.

My build went from trying to have the quickest bike to now just cruise LOL 80+kmhr is dam quick on push bike


Keep photos coming.

Is that a qs hub motor?

You should go for a 150/200A controller if ya can for better acceleration. And a higher rated bms for sure

(Imo)

Thanks for the tips guys. The bike in the back is a Vallkree (awesome retro bikes made in Byron Bay).
Looks like im stuck with my current controller/bms but if something needs to be replaced i will take your advice and go for a higher rating. Also i have switched to a single chainwheel as the multispeed ones dont fit very well (as someone mentioned).

Just waiting for the battery now should only be a few days

The bike is finally finished and running amazing

Love the dorado forks bought my kuberg second hand mainly becuase they were fitted got to be best bit of bike in my eyes they swallow up ruts like a crosser fork can just plough on regardless up the mountain ive only got a 20 inch front wheel though and a 14 inch trial rear wheel so I top out at 35mph but climb a rock face, nice build bet it's a real smooth ride.
