Zoom Forks On A Motorized Bike

Upgrading the forks on my F-Zero motorized bike.
Ran into a few small quality control issues, but for the most part it was a simple swap out.

Thanks again for another awesome review. Looking forward to a follow up video about these forks. Also looking forward to the 49er (49 cc) update. I hope you still / will continue to enjoy and share this hobby with us for a long time.

[@JMB676]

I’m running the same brake calipers on “Jokester” mine are just purple. I really like them so far and they seem to work very well so far. They are hydro line pull which was very simple but still clamp down really hard. I recently put sinitard* pads on and they seem to hold up excellent and pull to a stop fast.

[@AllConsumingJAWS]

Looking good my friend thank you for the many years of entertainment.

[@CuddlyJon]

Love seeing you in full riding gear.

[@johnryan7396]

Your upgrade journeys are always in perfect sequence to my upgrade plans. I would normally credit synchronicity like this to artificial intelligence. So its awsome knowing this hobby brings like minds together with perfect timing. Great video that was much more than "mildly" entertaining.

[@jmrides777]

Hey LA great vid bud. I was searching for forks and wasn't to sure which type to buy. You nailed it, thank you.

[@novavroomvroom3435]

Awesome wheels

[@motorizedbikestuff5339]

well, if i ever get a frame back from cdh, the next thing is the gemenis, then looks like those forks, man i really like those ,..nice vid homeslice ;) but now your making me spend more money :)

[@rozbojnikrumcajs3619]

Will it be possible to you to make a video covering the topic of heat and temperature? For example: -what upgrades/tuning makes engine run hotter -what are temperatures should you ride and which you shouldn't -what sparkplugs to use in different seasons or generally avg temp outside = what spark plug -carburator adjustments for heat You are doing awesome vids, keep it going dude

[@PaulThomas-qo9vy]

Related to tuning lean/rich & temps., would a cylinder head temperature (CHT) Thermocouple be a great way to verify results of said tuning experiments? Thanks LA!

[@mozezcen-valley7555]

Late night fun good video never tried them but sure way better than most forks out for under 200$ nice 👍

[@rodriguezfranco3839]

oh I got a old zoom fork on my bike , and I have a friend that has the new version too they are great forks very cost effective

[@johnsherry6021]

I was able to make my 20mm zoom fork work with custom spacers I made from round stock to fit my 9mm front MTB wheel. Couldn’t afford to buy $300 wheel on amazon

[@LAHover]

Good to know, thanks for the info!

[@jamiestevens1239]

Bike sounds really good

[@coothethird]

I have been looking at upgraded forks for my dawn v2 hybrid. These may be the ticket.

Hi, I also built an 80cc kit with a smaller front wheel, but I liked yours better. It's much better, good job. It's much more agile

[@cesarpagan4640]

I found a cnc case read and I’m ? On we’re to find part u have emy words or any recommendations for a top and

[@Zane.Wellnitz]

I use the zoom triple tree forks on my Saracen Xile. I am not easy on them at all. I have been so rough on them that I broke my rear axle on a jump yet, there has never been any damage to my zooms

[@davegoalman6287]

Hey I went thruew two back rims the bearings are piping out an the motor cycle chain pops off

[@youngturtle2118]

Hey would you have an idea on how I took a motor that my buddy blew up it had no compression I took a cylinder I had laying around and put it on the motor with the piston that had no compression and it now has 120 psi and I have ran it for 8 months now everyday ridding over 1000 miles and it still runs right now lol

[@blakejones8318]

What's a good fuel mix for a stock daily motorised non synthetic oil

[@grendelsgarage9723]

I've learned that threaded head tubes are different from threadless head tubes. The threaded and threadless can sometime be iner changed with headset bearing adapters, but they have to have a minimum of a 32mm diameter. Long story short is that if you have an older bike, it can be hard to upgrade to a threadless fork system 😉 😜 😄 😀. THANKS for the video, brother. Loven them Forks and the wheels. What motor were you running??

[@LAHover]

This one, cylinder has been ported. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09S6LN9YZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@grendelsgarage9723]

@LA Hover Bikes thank you, good sir! 👍 that is a good price for a motor kit👌 👏 👍 😉

[@bgazz33]

Are these Zoom forks compatible with mag wheels? Specifically the cheap set you get from bike berry? And what components would I need to mount them on an f-zero frame?

[@scstudios8]

I have a pair. There has to be a way to get some rebound damping.

[@bikeyogi16]

Where can i get those handle bars?

[@413MassDigger]

I need some forks like that for sure! Sweet vid man, i left a comment on your last vid, i know the easiest way to contact you is the discord, but i been trying to find the vid where you cut down the silencer and made it smaller, do you remember what vid that is? I cant find it...I got the mz65 clone and a silencer, but the silencer is too big, i need to cut it down, looks relative easy to figure out, I just don't want to mess it up!! Thanks brother,hope you have a great holiday!! -Ray

what do you guys do with the white wire,,,is there a way to use it for accesories?(lights and stuffs)

Kilroy was here (Any forks you’d recommend? especially for first time builders)

[@dennisgiannini1248]

Hey dude. Excuse me. While on youtube about an hour ago, a bicycle commercial popped up. The commercial was you doing one of your honest, insightful review videos on a bicycle product that the company sent you, not this present video on Zoom Forks.

[@dennisgiannini1248]

@@speedyweedy6909 The "commercial" was one of LA Hover Bikes' previous youtube videos where he honestly reviews an electric bicycle that I believe was given to him by a company for the purpose of posting an insightful review on you tube. At the time I was just surprised seeing him in a commercial because I said to myself: wait a minute, I know who that person is. He was riding the bike on a trail in the woods under dark shadows because the trees were blocking almost all of the daylight.

[@LAHover]

Oh cool, I wonder whose bike it was. I often give the companies permission to use my videos. Thanks for the heads up!

[@dennisgiannini1248]

@@LAHover Your welcome. I don't know whose bike it was because at the time the "commercial" popped up, I was tired. I watched it a few seconds to verify it was your silhouette riding the bicycle, and when I heard your voice I clicked it off to resume watching what I originally had going on.

[@dennisgiannini1248]

Yes, it was cool because the small amount of time I watched the commercial and then heard your voice-over made it look like it was professionally done.

[@pewpewbbqs]

Can you use stock wheels w/ the threaded axle w/ boost forks?

[@austinreynolds5702]

If you are able to find a frame that is still that also has the tanks just like the f-zero please let me know cuz I would love to have a steel frame as opposed to aluminum

[@LAHover]

Same, I'd rather have a steel one too!

[@Roberto_4273]

How are they been holding up?

is it possible to put surron wheels on a amazon bike?

[@Bloatedbazingamediumgarbagebby]

Would these forks fit on a phatmoto rover?

[@D4viHe]

What do you think about lowering the stock head, I've done this with my engine and it's running pretty great since

[@Churchkey83]

Since you are out riding I assume the Orange safety team approved of the wheels as they were inspecting.

[@LAHover]

The inspection team gave it the green light :)

[@davegoalman6287]

What's should I do on a rim

[@dorianfoster8107]

Hey so I watch you vids all the time I have a 80cc that I been riding for like a year I have always just killed the engine with switch to stop cause it was weird to idle we have built a new second bike could you make make a vid how to stop with pulling the clutch in and idle in depth it's a cruiser with coaster

[@OutlawRC]

I have a set of Gemini wheels and i didnt get all those spacer parts and i want to get a set of zoom forks. Should i get in contact with Will K. or would it be something i could fabricate simply?

[@LAHover]

I'd contact Will first. His kit was spot on and should save you a lot of time trying to source / make your own. Even if he charges for the spacer kit.

[@OutlawRC]

@@LAHover ok, thanks again. I had to make my own for the zedas rear on the setup I have now. Wish I would've gotten them in the first place. I'm sure he'll work with me, Will is pretty cool. Have a good one and ride safe!

[@OutlawRC]

Got in touch with him, thanks. Also , will the Zoom forks fit on the screaming demon frame by chance?

[@LAHover]

@@OutlawRC Yes they will fit. I personally would not put allot of money into that frame, but you can always move them to something else down the road, so go for it.

[@OutlawRC]

@@LAHover I'm hopefully gonna be able to get a better frame for it. I wanted the actual faker frame style or the Dawn...

[@benswinarski5899]

" 21 Speed Bicycle Men Women White&Black" please can you do a build with this bike it is 21 spd my bike it is $172 on eBay it is a white bike with the rear caliper mounted in the frame it would make a great GREAT trail bike please

[@Fr3nchFR135]

This bike might be a good candidate for hydraulic brakes. If your looking to save money though and increase braking performance if your using stock brake pads on your mechanical brake setups I highly recommend looking for semi metallic replacements. Some mechanical brakes may not have this as an option though.

[@Fr3nchFR135]

I would recommend keeping an eye on your rotors if you do this, I've not had issues with my setup and put about a years use on it(mostly short trips). Probably adjusted the brakes 2-3 times for the whole year though. It was my daily commuter until I had no choice but to get an e bike.

[@LAHover]

I and currently using Semi Hydraulic brakes on it so I can keep the dual pull brake levers.

[@Fr3nchFR135]

@@LAHover A buddy of mine told me about these. Says he's has them on his push bike. But with the full hydro setup couldn't you just junction two calipers to a T and feed the handle/reservoir into that? I could imagine that would also increase the throw on the handle as it would have to move more fluid to lock up both calipers.

[@Jmateo12]

Curious, I just noticed your bike's cranks! Love the small sprocket! Where did you get those? Thanks again!

[@caiocabral5446]

Could you install a gear system

[@charliepatterson9321]

He could via a jackshaft yet it's more moving parts and relys on only the bicycle chain . That accoutrement is generally for someone wanting to do 50mph and relying on a bicycle chain at those speeds is not for the long run .

[@gavanreid2888]

To stop your chain rubbing on your back wheel get a hub mount for your sprocket

[@mattparker9726]

as someone who doesn't have 1000s of dollars to dump into a 2 stroke, what parts would you recommend as better than the stock parts, but aren't super expensive? Viz: the Gemini wheels are sitting in my cart, but it will be months and months before I could afford them. Are there parts out there for mid range $$ bikes?

[@IvanLopez-hs8il]

Get a fzero and a china doll no more than $800 but you wanna go on a budget a Walmart bike and a motor off eBay and your set sub $3-400

cant i buy that for you i have money

[@Orbacron]

Very nice suspension upgrade👌 I would like to experiment with integrated seat shocks and cantilever seat shock setups.. Have you experimented with any of these seat style shocks besides a springer seat? I just installed my first springer forks on my next motorized cruiser frame bike build ($49 + free shipping) on eBay a few weeks ago

[@bryduhbikeguy]

I use a $29 adjustable tension springer seat post that holds my 210 body well,and they're off Amazon.The link I'm showing is a video testing the other type seatposts. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2LIZJpuqtalgLc&ab_channel=CYCLINGABOUT

Only seat post shocks. I have two of these and love them! Solid and smooth, can't beat the price too. Just make sure you order the right size. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BGWLHK7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

Threadless

How u enjoying saw life?? Better than minarelli??

[@samuelbrowand9918]

I would like to improve on my stopping power. Regarding the Gemini front duel disk wheel. Do you know of any forks that can take advantage of the, duel disk break, without using a disk break adapters.

[@AC.Prince]

What's the average life of a China motor?

To many variables... some top ends will die around 2K miles, others can push over 8K miles.
