thanks Eagleowl

I received the kit, got the front wheel installed, the axle fitted into the drop-out without issue. My only issue is fitting the battery on the down tube, only one of my bottle bosses aligns with the battery holder, so the battery is not secure yet. Connected everything up and happy to say it...

Thanks for the torque arm info, I'll take a look at them after the kit arrives tomorrow, I'm sure they will be perfect. (hammer-ebikes.com) I never knew they existed, looking at their site they sell a completed e-bike similar to the one I'm converting. Perhaps I should have said earlier, I live...

looks like your right, spec says the lower fork is steel, thanks ... https://bit.ly/2klb7rK Youtube videos posted by people who have this kit, or similar, indicate I will probably need to file the dropouts in order to fit the motorized hub. Then I have to buy torque arms and get those fitted...

thanks, I will be trying the suspension fork first adding a torque arm on each side if possible, any advice on which ones to buy in the UK appreciated, most of them don't look too sturdy ?

I've ordered a front wheel conversion kit from China. A friend advised me against installing a front hub motor on an aluminum suspension fork, slightly late because my kit arrives in a few days this is my 2013 bike - https://bit.ly/2lG6Hvu this is the kit from china - https://bit.ly/2k1ELlz...

I'm a new member, come to seek advice on going electric. I have a conversion kit on the way and will no doubt need advice at some point.
