I am thinking a 22" rim, and the appropriate tires. 20" being too small, and 24" being too large.
Arlo - looks sexy. What mods did you have to do to make them fit? What's the total diameter?
Have you seen the 2.5x16 pirellis on my bmx? I found them 2 years ago and now a lot of the bmx wheel guys use them.
The 2.25x15 on this bmx almost fit like a stock tire. I will measure them soon for the CA calibration but they will be about 20.5" Od As for the rest I laced a motorcycle wheel to the HS35 so I could cross lace it for more strength. The front just slides right in where the stock one was!

RC lipo and most other types of Lithium batteries you MUST know your individual cell voltages while charging and discharging.
Batteries of all kinds need respect they can burn your house down, so don't sleep with them under your bed or any other were you cant afford smoke or fire!

I like these 26x1.5" (really 1.75") Specialized Nimbus slicks. They corner great and aren't overly bulky, and seem durable so far. PSI up to 80, though I only run about 35 since my bike is a rigid right now.
Mush! Mush you electrons! Push harder!

The reason I found the 16 inch moped tires in the first place was because I was sick of the smallest thing giving me a flat. Now I actrualy have a tire that has a substantial amount of material to puncture for a flat. I lucked out finding tires with such great grip!

Continental has an Ebike specific tire for heavy weight and high speed. The Schwalbe are a little pricey for high mileage use on the rear.

I would have to see how long they last. The drawing doesn't look like they have much rubber over the tread. I think I am going to go with a cheaper Kenda for the rear.

Good to know Conti makes 3-ply tires now. Still too skinny for my need (I like 2.5" phatties) - but I appreciate their effort to cater to our market.
Thanks for sharing, KF
