Hi everyone,
I am in the process of ordering the wheels (front and rear).
QS205 V3 3T hub motor will be laced in 17" rim. However, I am not sure what the width of the rim should be.
Looking at most dirt bikes, it looks like they have a 21" by 1.6 front wheel size, and a 19"2.15 rear wheel size.
Should I be going for a 2.15" diameter on the rear wheel? Would this offer the best balance of strength, grip, and maneuverability? The total bike weight and rider weight will be around 200kg.
The bike will be running at 25kW so allot of power to the rear wheel, does this mean the wider the better, so I get better grip?
Riding will be 60% on street, 40% off road (fire trails etc.)
Thank you in advance.
