Im a 125kg / 275 lbs... pretty close anyway though prolly lighter. I've got a bum knee too.
I want to convert my EZ-1 to an Ebike but do not want the 16" wheel due to the low speeds
I am curious if anyone has put longer front forks on an EZ-1. Specifically it is so that I can use a larger 20" hub motor.
The reason being is I would like to have the option of dropping the batteries and the motor quickly if I want to go peddeling without the motor, and not have the dragging weight of the unsued parts.
Any ideas...
Also interested in if there is any need to add a welded parts to beef of the frame due to my weight and the added weight of the motor / hub. Another reason to put the motor up fron to distribute the weight better.. I already have a STOUT RINGWORM tire on the back.
Thanks
