E-Bikes With Suspension Fork: What You Need to Know
Do you know anything about an electric bike with suspension? If you’re looking for an off-road mountain e-bike or an e-bike for rough terrain, you must know something about suspension bikes.
The bike’s suspension is divided into a complete, rear-wheel, and front-fork suspension. Knowing the e-bike’s suspension function can help you choose a bicycle that suits the type of road you usually ride and provides a good riding experience.
Suspension e-bike
Suspension e-bikes, usually found on mountain bikes, can reduce the feeling of riding bumps on rough mountain roads.
Off-road bicycles may have full suspension. Some models only have shock absorbers at the rear, which are called soft-tail electric bicycles. Generally, ordinary bicycles have front fork suspension functions, and such electric bicycles are called hard-tail electric bicycles.
It’s not that the more shocks, the better; the type of shock absorber still depends on the kind of road you usually ride. It is best to choose a bike that suits your riding style.
What type of suspension bike is right for you?
If you usually only ride on hills or ridges and occasionally ride on flat roads, I recommend that you use a bicycle with front fork suspension directly. If you’re planning extreme mountain biking on treacherous trails and a lot of downhill racing, you might want to consider a full-suspension bike. They generally provide the most absorption and can improve handling in these situations.
Of course, when a full-suspension bicycle brings a good experience, it usually costs more than the front fork or rear suspension. Unless professional off-road riders need a full-suspension bike, most people don’t need one; fork or rear suspension is more than enough.
At Asomtom, we make three different electric bikes. RV1 and RV2 are our electric hybrid bikes for city living and commuting. RV3 is our everyday electric cruiser e-bike with a spring-loaded front fork to make travelling pleasurable. The Q7 and E300 are our rugged electric off-road e-bikes built with suspension for a smooth ride.
The RV3 comes with a spring front suspension fork. The 350W brushless motor can reach a maximum speed of 23mph, coupled with the large and grippy 3.0” fat tires, which effectively absorb the shock during riding, help better control the direction, and bring a more comfortable riding experience. The design is lockable and helps adjust to suit different terrains.
The Q7&E300 has a hydraulic front shock for powerful shocks, a Shimano 7 derailleur 750w motor for flattening rough things up to 28mph, and extensive, grippy 4.0″ fat tyres for a comfortable adventure. It can tackle rough mountain terrain quickly but also take on adventures on the sand, snow, and speed bumps on city streets. It’s not a full-suspension e-bike, but it’s well-equipped to take you from Unexpected places.
Although the suspension will affect your riding, you must consider other functions when looking for an electric bike that suits you. The best way to choose an electric bike is to consider all your needs.
If you want an off-road e-bike, choose one that will power your adventures. For example, the Q7&E300 has a 750w mid-mounted BAFANG drive motor for a maximum speed of 28mph. Powered by a Shimano 7 derailleur 48v15A integrated battery, it is weatherproof, removable, and lockable. The battery can travel up to 80 miles on a single charge.
They feature three pedal assist modes (throttle /pedal-assist/regular bike., and a walk assist mode) so you can decide how much extra power you want at any given time. For an electric mountain bike, it’s also lightweight. The Q7&E300’s battery weighs just 55 pounds, making it easier to transport and manoeuvre than many other heavier electric mountain bikes. When using the suspension front fork, you can open or lock it according to the terrain. When the brake is used, a power-off function will protect the rider more safely during riding. High-quality aluminium frame that is lightweight yet durable enough to ride in any weather. High-power integrated front and rear lights and reflective tyre walls ensure you can see and be seen day or night.
The main difference between Q7 & E300 is that one is the E300 walk-in model, which is more friendly to women, and the Q7 is a high-frame model, suitable for boys.
Although the Asomtom RV3 has the function of the front fork and fork suspension, it is more suitable for walking on hilly roads or urban commuting.
350W brushless motor, 36V 10A locking removable battery can last 35-45 miles, also RV3 has three pedal assist modes (throttle /pedal-assist/regular bike., and walk-assist mode), Shimano 7 derailleur, a high-quality Aluminum frame that is lightweight yet durable enough to ride in any weather. Comfortable seat and handle for easy commuting. A sturdy rear shelf that easily fits a basket, crate or litter box to store all your daily essentials. The sturdy back rack can carry your lovely pet for a ride or take your cute child to school.
If you’re looking for a high-quality electric mountain bike, you’ll want to pay attention to the various bike suspension types. This is important if you plan to cover rough terrain and like to travel at high speed. Remember, more suspension doesn’t always result in a better ride. You must evaluate the overall bike and its capabilities to get the best riding experience for your needs.
