Overview of components
Fork material
3.0 7-Speed has an aluminum fork, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the e-bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the 3.0 7-Speed e-bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
