Knowledge of electric bike forks

Knowledge of electric bike forks – suspension forks

• To choose the right suspension forks we have to know our wheel size.
• The bike header tube has to match the fork steerer tube.
• You also need to work out what spring type you want to go for in the fork; air or coil.
• Compressed air as a spring can be adjusted according to the weight of riders by tuning the air pressure.
• The spring coil has to replace with a different spring rate coil different rider’s weights.
• Fork travel is the most important factor in your type of ride you want – from short travel of 50mm for normal riding to 200mm of travel for dropping performance.
• Increasing or decreasing suspension travel can dramatically alter the height of the front end of your bike and it’s head angle.
• The popularity of adjustable travel forks has grown. Riders can opt for short-travel settings and the resulting steeper frame angles to winch their way up climbs, and then wind out the forks to full travel to tackle descents. Riders can lock out the travel for flat road riding.

Knowledge of electric bike forks – Road Bike forks

• The carbon fiber is great at shock absorption, which can make your bike a more comfortable place to be on longer rides. You can consider upgrading your road bike forks.
• Straight blade forks (where the rake is achieved by the blades angling out from the crown) are regarded as stiffer and more responsive and as being the ideal choice for more aggressive riders.
• The curved blade forks incorporate the rake as a gradual curve in the blade, from crown to drop out. This helps the fork to absorb road vibration, at the (small) expense of some stiffness.
• The most expensive ‘one-piece’ carbon fiber monocoque design, where the entire fork is made from a single piece of carbon fiber.
• A carbon fork is definitely going to cause less fatigue in your hands on long rides.
• The difference is that in a high energy crash, a carbon fork is more likely to break, whereas a metal fork would bend. Both have to replace for use.
• Carbon forks will last more than 10,000 cycles with a load of 270 lb.
• The carbon fork is stronger, lighter, and can be made into aerodynamic shapes, carbon forks have largely replaced alloy forks even on lower-end bikes.

Knowledge of electric bike forks – Glossary, etc.

• Straight blade – Fork legs that don’t feature a bend.
• Offset/Rake – An angle has taken between a perpendicular line drawn between the fork’s steerer compared how far forward it’s leg sweep.
• Steerer tube – The long tube which runs from the top of the fork through the frame to which the stem attaches to.
• Tapered steerer A steerer that is 1.5” wide at the bottom and 1 1/8” at the top.
• Dropouts – The slotted plates at the end of the fork, hold the front wheel in place.
• Eyelets – Threaded mounts that can be used to attach mudguards.
• Disc brake mounts – Threaded mounts positioned on the lower left-hand leg of a fork where on disc brake calipers can be mounted.
• Rigid fork – A fork devoid of any suspension or bump-absorbing properties outside of those of the materials that it’s made from.
• Thru-axle – A large 15 or 20mm axle, threaded at one end and secured in place by a quick-release lever.
• Stick to the big 3′ manufacturers: Marzocchi, RockShox, and Fox for quality and performance assurance.
• Mountain bikes should absorb shock via a suspension-fork, or wider tires, or both.
• Nowadays, many mountain bikes are designed to be used with a suspension fork with relatively large travels, for example, 120-200mm.
• Fox Fork is expensive because they are great. Stiff, durable, and in practice can go years without servicing.

Knowledge of electric bike forks – Forks offset

A new geometry concept called SBG, Speed Balanced Geometry – consists of 5 parts:

• Longer reach.
• Steeper seat tube angle.
• Shorter stem length.
• Slacker head tube angle.
• Reduce fork offset.

Reduced fork offset.

1. With the new 51mm fork offset, Fisher was able to get a more nimble or fast feeling with the front wheel, helping the bike handle more like the 26” that people were used to.
2. While a slack headtube increases stability, along with longer reach, you start to lose that front end feel and thus, losing traction.
3. By reducing the forks offset, you are bringing the wheel back under the mass of the body, helping keep that traction, while still having a longer wheelbase and a slack head tube angle.
4. Reduce fork offset means nearer to rider bodyweight, get better traction. Increase fork offset means away from the rider’s body weight, the wheel goes faster with less traction.

Conclusion:

After going through the electric forks designed for the electric bikes from the four popular brands, my opinion about the electric bike fork is as the following:

• Electric Road Bikes travel faster than regular bikes, equipped with carbon rigid forks or suspension forks is a bonus for comfort and speed riding.
• Electric Hybrid Bikes is a need to have at least a 50mm to 60mm travel fork for safety during the speedy riding.
• Electric Gravel Bikes are a must to have suspension forks with 100mm travel for smoothing riding on the uneven ground.
• Electric Trail Bike is a norm to have the best suspension forks with 140mm to 200mm travel to achieve the safest and best-dropping performance given to the brave and skillful riders.
