Stock springs are stiff, even at full extension. Stuck hard, and worried that I might snap it before it eventually did work loose.

There are smooth curves and no welds to fall apart.Īt least no welds in the worrisome area where folks complain that Monark clones are weakest. This fork looks and feels indestructible. Toes, any small extra toe clearance will help.

All in all I am very pleased with this build. Same with the 12v converters from ebay used to run headlight and tail lights. Miss the spring action, but at least it is much heavier duty than the Monarch and should be able to handle the extra weight this ebike carries between the side bags and a back pack.īTW, the 1000w CNEBikes kit I bought from Amazon has been working flawlessly.

I checked it out and seeing as I was miles from home, decided to ride it at a very slow pace being careful to miss bumps, holes, etc. I am lucky the fork didn't break right off and send me face first into the pavement. The spring rods prevented the fork from completely collapsing. One or two welds broke on each side and the fork was sticking out from the bike at a 45* angle. One day I was carrying a back pack full of groceries, and one side bag was full too.
Well I have to say it did not hold up too well. You may remember my retro ebike build used a Monarch reproduction fork.
