Fox forks - best

RockShox - almost best

Marzochi - was good but is average now

Manitou - average crap

Suntour - cheap low crap

RST - Real Shit Technology

Bamboo fork - used by military motorized units in Zimbabwe

Wooden fork - cheap alternative to bamboo

Zoom - #$^#^(#*&$#%^&$# TOTAL SHITTIEST suicide fork

This system combined with pedal power is a really efficient combination.

This is only a 250w motor but if you were daft enough to give it full throttle, whilst leaning over and on a loose gravel surface, you're right, you could fall off! On the other hand, if you pedal your back wheel on a non-electric bike whilst doing the same thing you could fall off! With a motor such as this one, you have smooth power all the itme.....

its dangerous having the power at the front wheel when turning to much throttle on a loose surface its going to slip from under you

[ReidWelch]

If you bored boys ever had to pedal a direct drive hub motor you'd think this is a pretty neat alternative: a motor that truly freewheels instead of really wearing out your legs if your battery runs out before you run home. DD motors tend to be pigs to pedal manually. This type of motor (there are other brands) are practically effortless to pedal, and let you coast as well as on any regular bike.

"Suzhou Bafang" - sounds like the noise it would make if the slsctronics blew up!! ;-))

Erm, what werer you expecting? The vid is to show the free wheeling capability of the new electric motor on an e-bike....that said, I only found it interesting 'cos I'm about to buy an e-bike.
