    Powabyke Commuter Forks

    this is only my opinion as to suspension forks on a powabyke but i thought a word of caution would not be out of place, as flecc has said (i believe ) suspension forks are far from perfect and with the front weight and power of a powabyke they may not be right for all riders. my bike is mostly...
