E-mountain bike with front fork
An E- mountain bike with a front fork or a hardtail fork is an E- bike which has a rechargeable battery motor which support users by transfer energy from battery through pedals
The smart LCD allows riders to customize energy modes according to the purpose of using.
- Human riding mode: When riders turn off the assist mode button or turning gear into zero.The bike returns back to a normal mountain bike.
- Electric mode.The bikes will switch to a state of operation which completely depends on the power supply from the battery, with a custom mode range from 1 to 5.
- Power-assisted vehicle mode: The control system will sensor the force of the rider on pedal and the motor will release energy to assist cycling as much as necessary.
The front fork is attached to the front axle of the E- mountain bike and acts as a shock absorber. This will cushion the driver from being shocked when the E- mountain bike bounced due to obstacles.
E-mountain bikes with hard tail forks are suitable for uphill mountain bike sports.
However, almost all E-electric mountain bikes have lockable forks and then turning an E- bike hardtail fork into an E- rigid mountain bike becomes quite easy.
E-mountain bike with front and rear forks (full suspension)
It is an E- bike, which has a rechargeable battery motor to support energy to pedal.This function works exactly the same as an E- mountain bike with hardtail fork.
With the smart LCD control system, riders are able to customise the energy level as same as E- mountain bike with a hardtail fork.
However, the only difference is they have both front and rear forks. The design focuses on protecting riders from the shocks when the bike bumped into obstacles. Because of this reason an E-Mountain bike with full forks is perfectly suitable for the downhill sport.
Today, most new E- full forks mountain bikes have a fork lockable system.So riders can lock the rear fork and make the bikes become front-fork bikes.
Or riders can themself decide to lock both fork systems and turn it to an E- rigid mountain bike.
Then they can use them for various purposes .
