What is an electric scooter fork?
If you are an electric scooter enthusiast, you know that every spare part of your electric scooter is as important as the next. Forks are no exception to this rule.
An electric scooter fork is an important part of the scooter that connects the front wheel to the steering stem.
The standard size for forks is 100 mm, but some brands may use different sizes.

What are the different types of forks for electric scooters?
There are mainly two types of forks for electric scooters: the telescopic fork and the rigid fork. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
The telescopic fork
The telescopic fork consists of two tubes, one sliding into the other. It is often equipped with suspensions to absorb shocks during riding.
Advantages
- Riding comfort: the suspension of the telescopic fork offers better shock and vibration absorption, allowing users to ride on bumpy roads without feeling too many jolts.
- Safety: the suspension of the telescopic fork allows better control of the electric scooter in turns and on rough roads.
- Versatility: the telescopic fork is suitable for different types of terrain, from paved roads to dirt paths.
Disadvantages
- Weight: the telescopic fork is generally heavier than a rigid fork, which can affect the maneuverability of the electric scooter.
- Maintenance: the suspension of the telescopic fork requires regular maintenance to avoid oil leaks, seal breaks, and pressure problems.
The rigid fork
The rigid fork, as its name indicates, is a fork without suspension. It is often used on electric scooters for competition, where lightness is an important factor.
Advantages
- Lightness: the rigid fork is lighter than the telescopic fork, which can improve the maneuverability of the electric scooter.
- Simplicity: the rigid fork is simpler to maintain than the telescopic fork because it does not contain suspension.
Disadvantages
- Riding comfort: without suspension, the rigid fork can make riding more difficult on bumpy roads because it cannot absorb shocks and vibrations.
- Safety: the rigid fork can make riding more difficult on rough roads and in turns, as it cannot offer as much control as the telescopic fork.
The telescopic fork offers better riding comfort and better safety, but it is heavier and requires more maintenance.
The rigid fork is lighter and easier to maintain, but it offers a less comfortable and less secure ride.
The choice between the two will therefore depend on the user's personal preferences and the intended use of the electric scooter.

What criteria should I consider to properly choose the fork compatible with my electric scooter?
To choose a fork compatible with your electric scooter, you must take into account the following criteria:
-
The wheel size: The fork must be compatible with the wheel size of your electric scooter. The most common wheel sizes are 6, 8, and 10 inches.
-
The folding system: If your electric scooter has a folding system, you need to ensure that the fork is compatible with it. Otherwise, you risk having folding and unfolding problems.
-
The fork length: The fork length must be adapted to the size of your electric scooter. If it is too short or too long, it can cause stability and handling problems.
-
The type of suspension: If your electric scooter has a suspension, you need to ensure that the fork is compatible with this type of suspension. The most common types of suspension are spring suspension spring.
-
The fork material: Forks can be made of aluminum, steel, or carbon. The fork material you choose will depend on your preferences in terms of weight, strength, and flexibility.

Are the forks of electric scooters adjustable?
Some forks of electric scooters are height adjustable to allow users to find a comfortable riding position.
However, it is important to note that adjustable forks are not always necessary for comfortable riding. Indeed, the electric scooter is generally designed to be easy to ride, even without particular adjustments.
However, if you prefer a specific riding position, it is recommended to check the specifications of the electric scooter model you are considering buying to see if the forks are adjustable.
If you have specific concerns about the height of the fork, do not hesitate to contact us for specific advice.

The installation of an electric scooter fork can vary depending on the brand and model of the electric scooter. In general, here are the steps to follow to install an electric scooter fork:
-
Remove the front wheel: Start by removing the front wheel from your electric scooter by unscrewing the nuts and removing the washers.
-
Remove the old fork: Unscrew the screws or bolts holding the old fork in place. Be careful not to lose the parts that hold the fork in place, such as washers and spacers.
-
Install the new fork: place the new fork where the old one was. Make sure the fork is properly aligned with the front wheel.
-
Secure the new fork: Secure the new fork by screwing in the screws or bolts. Use the same washers and spacers that you removed from the old fork.
-
Put the front wheel back in place: Replace the front wheel on the fork by putting the washers and nuts back in place.
-
Check the alignment: make sure the front wheel is properly aligned with the fork and that it turns freely.

How much does an electric scooter fork cost?
The cost of an electric scooter fork can vary depending on the brand, model, and quality of the fork. In general, the price of an electric scooter fork can range from 20 euros to over 180 euros.
Aluminum forks are generally the cheapest, while carbon forks are the most expensive. Branded and high-quality forks are also more expensive than generic forks.
We recommend that you do not choose a fork simply based on its price, but rather based on its features and quality.
