Why is that?
I was mooching round a shop recently and it does appear to be the case.
I hate unnecessary suspension.
This will change in time surely as the market expands?
A few months ago i road tested two hybrid type ebikes, both with rigid forks. The Giant Fastroad and the Boardman HYB, but they didn't fit me right, i'm sure there are others out there. But i'm not going to spend £2K + on an ebike without test riding it first.
Whereas i can find plenty of rigid fork unassisted hybrids to fit me perfectly, its not the case with ebikes, because there just isn't the amount of choice in them compared to unassisted bikes.
