hey Bob,

The Hill Topper's hub motor needs at least 3.7in (95mm) of clearance to fit in between bike forks. Almost all major bike manufacturers make their bikes with 4in (100mm) of clearance between the forks, including Schwinn. So I'm very confident that will fit. We have a 26in Hill Topper wheel that will fit onto your bike no problem. Thanks.

I have an old 2004 model of Renault zapping elect folding bike and I would want to check if the hill topper can fit on my fork for a 20 size front rim

fapuenteeric,

Check to make sure you have 100mm of clearance between the inside of the fork at the dropouts. This is the industry standard for forks, so it should fit.

We don't make a 20in wheel, but our ProPack is perfect for this type of job http://www.electric-bike-kit.com/propacklithium.aspx

You can take the ProPack to your local bike shop and they can build a 20in wheel around the hub motor for you. Thanks.
