I’ve got a single speed k1 wide chain I want to put on my multispeed bike (lectric 3.0 ebike).

I’m a newbie, not sure of what info on the bike might be relevant but it’s a modern, 7 speed, freewheel.

I’ve messed this up before. I tried this chain on a different bike when converting it but I kept skipping.

Sounds like I need better fitting cogs? Do I need “wide” ones? Crankset and rear cog? Possible better fitting chain tensioner too? Shopping around, I’m not seeing much a difference in sizing for these parts.

Any tips appreciated

    since no front derailleur you just need to find a single speed freewheel that can accept your 1/2" x 1/8" chain. if your current chain ring on the front is also compatible with the chain you don’t need to replace it. you will need to ensure the chain line is straight so the wider freewheel may be neccessary
