Suspension forks needed

[Simonwwfc]

Hi all
Please can anyone provide a link as my problem is suffering with tennis and golfers elbow in both arms we went and bought just rear suspended bikes with 16”’ wheels now I can’t no longer stand the pain from every bump with hit so it’s either sell mine or swap front forks . I’ve found theses but £200 and sure there’s a lot cheaper . Theses are fitted to a richbit 730 ebike with same folding handle bars as mine but bike has 20” wheels . I’m lost to what ones I need to convert mine thanks simon

I found good forks at great prices at Bankrupt Bike Parts, more info https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/front-suspension-for-my-ebike.40015/post-594769

Suspension forks on 16" or 20" wheels are pretty well useless. You need proper air forks to solve your problem. I've never seen them for small wheels.

Like @vfr400 says I think you'll struggle to find effective suspension forks for 16" wheels. You could try emailing MiRider and see what they say. I wonder if it's possible to fit fatter / softer tyres? What tyre pressure do you have in the front?

Mirider are pretty much useless . They removed me from there Facebook page as I said about poor paint work on there frames .

It won't be nearly as good as good suspension forks, but softer handlebar grips and/or gel padded gloves could help.

There are also various shaped grips that might just help; the problem there is that (like saddles) the choice and fitting angle of different shaped ones is very personal.

Yeah, good points. So, softer grips / gloves, then fatter tyres if possible. Letting a bit of pressure out of the tyres will make them a bit softer, but there's a trade off with effort & safety vs comfort.

Know nothing about these bikes but could one of these (Or similar) handlebar suspension systems be made to fit?

Bike Suspension Adjustable Handlebar Stem Shock Unit 1" x 25.4mm 55° Angle Alloy | eBay

Quill style handlebar stem. Lucida uses a hydraulic pneumatic system to adjust angle, and provide suspension. The angle is adjustable through a 55 degree angle, it is a suspension stem when the valve is closed.
