That's my two MTB made into cruisers with a set of riser bars. I'd love a set of fat triple tree forks for the ebike.
 
You want some kind of suspension. Something is going to give over bumps and it shouldnt be solid forks' or frame's structure. I have a micargi stretch something or other with solid triple trees that went up or down a curb at stupid low speeds and bent the forks. I've been running the forks that came with the F-Zero for several thousand miles now and don't have any complaints other than it sucks for a suspension fork. I've hit stuff in the dark that sent me airborne going 40+ a few times and they still ride straight and feel ok. I've been interested in the Zoom Downhill Forks off Amazon but have not bought them yet because my TIG welder is DC only and I have a headlight and dual front brakes that I would like to keep. The Zoom forks are super tall and adjustable so you can play with your stance. The forks I am running are not adjustable height.
Look into Will Kidd, Gemini Bicycle Products. Can get triple tree forks with adapters for pit brakes for like 199
 
Most of these triple tree forks are for 1 1/8 head sets so if you have an older frame they may not fit as they are for 1 inch.
It can be done but takes some work.

This picture is showing two pieces of 2 inch steel pipe welded to the head tube that just fits the bearings and changes it from 1 to 1 1/8.

Something to look out for is the total length of the head tube, if it ends up too long you are in trouble.
