Which types of bicycles are suitable for installing the LvBu ebike kit?

The Lv Bu ebike kit is a versatile upgrade option for a wide range of bicycles due to its multiple size options, ranging from 16 inches to 29 inches, including 700C. However, the key to successful installation is ensuring that your bike's fork width and dropout size match the wheel's requirements. Here's what to consider for different braking systems.

Disc Brake Systems:
Disc brakes are known for their superior stopping power, achieved through the interaction of a brake rotor and caliper. There are two types: hydraulic and mechanical. Hydraulic disc brakes use fluid pressure to operate, while mechanical disc brakes rely on a cable connecting the brake lever to the caliper. For bikes with disc brakes, the fork width is usually around 10 cm, making them well-suited for the disc brake version of the LvBu ebike kit, which uses an external rotor motor and is highly cost-effective.

Rim Brake Systems:
In contrast to disc brakes, rim brakes (or caliper brakes) work by clamping brake pads onto the rim of the wheel. This system is often found on bikes with narrower forks, where the fork width is typically around 8 cm. The rim brake version of the LvBu ebike kit is designed for these bikes and uses an internal rotor motor. Although it is slightly more expensive, it works effectively with rim brake systems.

Key Installation Considerations:
When choosing a LvBu electric bike kit, it's essential to first identify whether your bike uses disc or rim brakes and then carefully measure your bike's fork width and dropout size. 

Specifically:
For disc brake kits, the fork width should be 10 cm ± 0.5 cm, with a dropout width of at least 10 mm ± 0.5 mm.

For rim brake kits, the fork width should be 8 cm ± 0.5 cm, with the same dropout width standard as for disc brakes.

If your bike’s fork width is slightly off, you may be able to gently widen the gap by up to 1 cm, but do this cautiously to avoid damaging the structure of the fork.
Compatibility:
Whether your bike is a mountain bike, road bike, touring bike, foldable commuter, or even a tricycle, as long as it meets the size and specification requirements, the Lv Bu ebike kit can be a great option for upgrading to electric power.So, check your bike's dimensions and start your journey towards electric-assisted riding today!
