Hi folks!
I live in a small town in Southern Illinois, and ride my ebike
conversion to work and back every day (about 7 miles round trip) in
fair weather.
It is the BD36 conversion kit from WeRelectrified, with the extended
range battery pack, installed on an old Sears mountain bike.
I am very happy with it, with a few minor issues.
The charger burned up after the first season, out of warranty of
course. The replacement isn't as nice, it doesn't even fit in the
storage compartment of the battery sack, but it does work ok.
The other issue is that the key falls out of the switch very easily, I
have to tie it to the bike to keep from loosing it.
And yes, it keeps running when the key falls out.
Anyway, as our roads are a bit rough in places I would like to move
the kit to my Mongoose XR150, which is a much smoother ride, with it's
rear suspension.
I know I'll have to replace the suspension front forks with stiff
forks, but have no idea how to pick a set that will fit my bike.
Searching for Mongoose parts so far hasn't been very helpful.
The original forks have a great set of brakes, much better than the
old Sears bike, I would like to preserve the braking system so I need
the new forks to have the same brake mounting configuration.
Any ideas?
I'll be glad to share any info about the kit or whatever.
Les
