    Why fat tires on a street ebike?

    Like super73/juiced/rad/those folding bikes you mention. Ya, its a cramped cockpit. I'm 6' but don't pedal much. The diameter is about 23-24" you're right. I just got Pirelli 100/80-16 tires to try out and they are 1-2" smaller. May offset the added weight which doesn't seem like too much...

    Why fat tires on a street ebike?

    2-oh-4 fatty = any 20x4" tired bike. Larger than that isn't really apartment friendly and overkill for the city. So here, we've mapped out all the outdoor power outlets. You can find the Delivery boys loitering around them when batteries get low or they're waiting for orders. 5amp chargers are...

    Why fat tires on a street ebike?

    Ya I started off as a Mess racer on 700c tires. Find me in a few japanese issues of Loop Magazine if I have to show credentials The chinese/mexican ebike dudes started off on regular MTB frames, standing on the pedals all day instead of sitting. They all ride fattys now and sit. Wholefoods...

    Why fat tires on a street ebike?

    I can't agree. All the delivery boys are switching to hardtail 204 bikes. Spend all day criss-crossing the city and you'll want the extra cushion. I have full sus and still want to drop the tires down below 30psi but the sidewall flex scares me. I couldn't imagine riding something like a...

    Why fat tires on a street ebike?

    Nooo, I just ordered 100/80-16 Pirelli MT-75s :cry: This thread motivated me btw. Curious to see what the weight penalty is vs 204 Innovas with tubes and tire liners.

    Why fat tires on a street ebike?

    Ya, I've AutoX an '88 AW11 for years. I don't have the suspension dialed in on my bike at all. But I not mad at the tires for what they are. Esp not the sizing with how shit the roads are

    Why fat tires on a street ebike?

    I have 20x4 innovas on my 72v CYC bike and find the handling to be great (myself + bike <250lbs). The compound lacks grip and I've slid out under throttle around low speed turns (twice) but I don't blame that on the sizing. 30psi. Jumping speed bumps >30mph. I take them up to "50mph" regularly...

    Forget ebikes. E-unicycles are where it's at!!!!

    Ah actually we put a 14-day quarantine for people traveling to the Tri-state just yesterday. Lifes pretty good in the city these days. But yea, EUCs... can't go wrong with a Kingsong 16x if you're curious.

    You are a miserable person I see. You just got your first EUC and you're the authority on them? LOL Dude this wheel isn't even out yet... theres a few demo units floating around so according to WHO?! lmao And that photo was in KM/H jerk. HA HA. I'm not dumb enough to do 50 on a prototype that I...

    Forget ebikes. E-unicycles are where it's at!!!!

    Some prefer more range or need it for delivery work. I'm personally a downtown kid but still managed 3k miles on my MSX You can't beat a square footprint that does 50 mph effortlessly. Your statement on power doesn't matter in a city with 25mph bumper to bumper traffic. Neither does the braking...

    Yea soooo all those videos are from my guys here in NYC...none of them are staged, we've been ordering custom spec'd wheels for a good year now. Doesn't always go well. Nothing beats an EUC in a city setting. NOTHING. Don't even kid yourself thinking otherwise. The newest gen wheels will get...

    GNG / CYC X1 Pro 3000w

    I have an BAC855 on the way so will update after testing. The throttle sucks from 0 but once you're on it, its fairly responsive. Stock controller, stock settings 72v will slide out from under you mid-turn easily. No, you wont do power wheelies or any low speed kickers but its good enough for...

    Just get a hailong shark of some short. I have a 12ah 20s4p shark pack from Eco Cycles and it rips. Typical XT-90 connector

    X1 PRO GEN2

    *First Post* I just finished my gen2 kit on a swing-arm mounted BB. Had to weld custom mounts to keep the motor from swinging but I think the torque has bent them after 3 days of riding. New batch seems to have NONE of the problems I’ve read about. Especially full throttle from a dead stop.
