Powering a Dahon mu-n360?

Dahon mu-n360 NuVinci folding bike and Dahon folding bicycles at Bikefold

What do the experts reckon on this as a Pedelec prospect AND what to use if its a decent base bike

Well you are definitely looking at a front hub conversion if you wish to to maintain the rear hub. You would need to check front fork spacing and I am guessing they are less than 100mm, which then restricts you to narrow width hubs like the Tongxin and Cute 85.

IMHO I don't think you need that many gears if you have e power. You could drop down to a 3 speed or auto 2 speed hub and maintain the robust winter proof advantage over derailleur.

Nice John and good to see the welded carrier block on the front to attach luggage. The Brompton has it and IMHO ALL smaller wheeled bikes should.

PS I notice your appear to have Big Apples fitted another "almost" must if you have no suspension on small wheeled bikes.

Hi Alan,

The first photo shows a Dahon MU with an eZee 20" front wheel conversion kit fitted and the second shows a Dahon Bullett assembled in the eZee factory.

Thanks John

I have looked on your website , approximately what would be a "fitted" cost of a 20" conversion to an Mu

Hello John,

The 20" eZee front wheel conversion kit, will it fit in a standard Dahon front fork? So will this package contain a narrow width hub motor?

Thanks,
Johan

Hello Johan,

Our 20" eZee rear wheel kit will fit the Dahon, but the front motor requires 100 mm between the dropouts so it will not fit the standard forks.
