  • In this video, I'm customising a replica of a Raleigh Chopper to be used as an advertising tool for the barber shop that I work in. Although this video is pieced together with bits from different points in time, we hope you enjoy!!!

    I've built my own bike, bit like Triggers broom🤣; the only original part is the frame, with literally everything else changed/upgraded. (Cannondale Caad4 R400)

    Can anybody help me I keep asking is the front wheel on bike the original size also with the forks to even it up abit would bmx forks be okay to put on

      No the wheel on the front is 20" (BMX size )and the forks are of a 26' static mountain bike .I love the way it looks ,BMX forks will work as look as the steering tube is the right length for the head tube (although it is possible to shorten them if need be .hope the helps and sorry for taking so long to answer you .thanks for watching .if you go on my face book page and send me some pics of your project I might be able to give you a better answer

      @@chrichabikes8892 thank you for replying,I’m ebiking the chopper and I want the front to stay grounded,what about keeping the original forks but putting a bigger front wheel on to help keep the wheel on the floor?have you heard of the TH-camr dude stuff?he’s done a chopper great paintwork,but he’s put a 4k motor on it and it keeps wheeling so I was thinking of putting a 1k or a 1.5k motor on the back,thanks for the reply though

      @@RebeccaSmith-gr3nj my one wheelies all the time too but I think this is more to do with were the seat is positioned than the front wheel as choppers have always had this problem .weight distribution is the key here. Unfortunately because of the rear roll bar you can't adjust the seat forward much , perhaps the chopper isn't the greatest choice for an e-bike but dam cool 😀😀😀.maybe positioning your battery as far forward as possible might help
