Hello got new LNA 5000W electric ATV and I weigh about 175lbs and cannot get the suspension to move jumping on any corner.

Handicapped so I would prefer a soft ride but not too soft. Does anybody have a aftermarket brand for replacement shocks and is there really a difference between front and rear or mainly just the correct length?

Cheap ATV don’t want to spend a lot on shocks.
Thanks

 

Anybody know anything about Caiman Shocks by American CV?

 

Can't help with shocks, but how do you like your machine? 5000w (7hp) seems a bit under powered for full size bike. I'm not sure electric and internal combustion engines can be compared, due to the torque from low revs that electrics have. However Tesla etc, seem to need 200hp + to propel a fairly small car. The tracking on the LNA seems a bit strange too, you surely must get covered in mud with wheels that are so outboard of the plastics, and the fronts seem to defy the rules about a line through the king pin centre needing to hit the ground in the centre of the tyre tread, for easy steering.

At least the Chinese are "having a go" the big Japanese makers still have not got an electric bike out less than 7 years before a ban on ICE vehicles is due to come in for Europe.

 

Handicapped live off grid on 160 Acres so I don’t need to go fast or in mud it’s basically a all terrain wheel chair. It’s fast enough near forty and it’s get up and go compares to a gasoline one my ranger 2008 isn’t that much faster maybe harder to steer. Quite on medium and high and doesn’t spook the dear.

Also have drop foot and it’s all hand controls. Shocks only look like shocks don’t move at all my back can’t stand that

Took three months to get shipping was more than unit, contact was alright but I didn’t like the China attitude and will not deal with them again! Was thinking of starting ATV business but they ruined that had to locate charging short redo plastic, alignment was way off and locking nuts to tie rods floating loose on rods.Controllers floating loose behind plastic covers, Wishing I bought another Polaris just don’t know how I would stop it with my weak right foot.

Meant to post since offgrid drive for free and it will be great for hunting!

 

It does look like it was designed for a lot narrower track and someone decided to fit those wide stance wheels afterwards. With Chinese stuff, it does tend to come with a few loose bolts and they are not interested in supplying spares, so broken plastics etc, can't be replaced. The Taiwanese stuff is usually better put together and most makers do supply parts, but it is more expensive and neither countries do much testing before putting on sale so the customer finds any design faults and has to fix them. A bit puzzled as to your need for the footbrake. I like most riders who have not ridden motorcycles before going onto quads, never use the footbrake, relying on the two handbrakes, as I did when cycling. Judging by the number of bikes on which I have to free seized footbrake pedals when servicing them, I think I am in the majority.

 

Because of my drop foot I can’t use right foot brake, didn’t know there’s a hand.one for both.

Growing up on motorcycles and having close to 100000 miles on them I also prefer the motorcycle type throttle. Only thing I have been around is my Ranger drove it yesterday but have to throttle with left foot.

Since I am a electric contractor and grew up on farm and doing my own stuff even building house with bad back I can deal with lack of detail only makes me mad because I know they could do better if someone makes them! Doesn’t seem like communism does not give them pride or motivation.
