With the 105mm honeycomb wheels installed, our test rider got 8.6miles (14km) out of a full charge. Roller Bearings – A bearing collar containing needle roller bearings, often the most common and well used bearings. Most suitable for medium duty applications, making the wheel easier to move.

When it comes to the torque, the 550W hub motors perform incredibly well. By using one of the strongest hub motors amongst the entry-level hub boards, Wowgo 2S Max is powerful enough for any hills on your path. Although the torque and thrill are still a step behind what a set of powerful belt motors could offer, the Wowgo 2S Max is still one of the strongest hub boards amongst all the entry-level boards we’ve tested. Remarkably light: Weighing only 5.96 ounces (169 grams) per wheel in the 110mm size and 7.51 ounces (213 grams) per wheel in the 120mm sizeWheel Load Capacity – all of our wheels have been tested and are able to carry the specified load capacities. Look for thesymbol. Weight bearing abilities can be affected by floor surfaces and amount of use overtime. Overloading wheels will cause them to fail! With a honeycomb tire you cannot adjust them to your liking as you can with a pneumatic tire. Since they need more material to be created they are often heavier and more expensive than a normal tire. Honeycomb tires have less resistance than a solid rubber tire, but still more resistant than a pneumatic tire. When is it time to replace my air filled tire?

Correct pressure also provides the rider with superior grip due to the fact that the tire deforms to keep good traction against the terrain. Disadvantages of pneumatic tires The obvious and most common problem with using a pneumatic tire is that they are susceptible to flats. Most of the time getting a flat isn’t the end of the world and they can often easily be fixed. However, there are circumstances where getting a flat or blowing a tire can be very dangerous and that is at high speed. Blowing a tire can cause you to lose control of the scooter. What is the overall diameter of the wheel? (From outside edge to outside edge) Diameter of the Hub Bore However, I do see the need for other types of tires and I would say it depends on the what type of terrain you will be using your scooter on. I had a horrible road going to the store from the last apartment we stayed at. A pneumatic tire here would probably have given me a flat 50% of the time, so I chose to go with a solid tire instead. I didn’t have a single issue except that the riding experience was a bit bumpier, but nothing major.Wheel Type – Wheels can be simply categorised into 2 types, soft tread wheels and hard tread wheels. The general principle is hard tread wheels on softer floor surfaces, and soft tread wheels on harder floor surfaces. This principle reduces the rolling tractive resistance and makes the wheels easier to move. There are mainly 3 different types of electric scooter tires that can be used on your electric scooter and those are: If the tires use the correct manufacturer’s recommended PSI(air pressure) they are superior to solid rubber tires in the way that they create less friction between the tire and the road. Soft Tread Wheels – such as Solid Rubber Wheels, Pneumatic Rubber Wheels, High Temperature Rubber Wheels and Polyurethane Wheels. Soft Tread Wheels are generally kinder to the floor surfaces, make less noise and some are even non marking rubber wheels. Polyurethane wheels tend to sit in-between the two types of wheels, as they have a hard nylon, cast iron or aluminium centre with a softer polyurethane tyre bonded on. This makes the polyurethane wheels some of the most versatile wheels in the range. First, let’s talk about speed control. Wowgo 2S Max’s speed and speed control are perfect as expected of the 12s Hobbywing ESC. Both acceleration and braking of the 2S Max are buttery smooth and intuitive. The brake strength is very strong, even stronger than the previous 2S Pro. This is great news as most riders eventually learn to love and prefer strong brakes, especially when the brakes are smooth and intuitive like they always are with Hobbywing ESC.

As usual, let’s run through the specs to be clear about those theoretical upgrades… Build and specs– Wowgo 2s Max Honeycomb tires will provide you with the peace of mind that flats cannot occur. At the same time, they will give you a smoother ride than solid tires will and you don’t have to exchange them as often as a pneumatic tire. Disadvantages of honeycomb tires The board weighed in at 18 lbs (8.2kg) and comes with a 6-month warranty. Riding Experience of Wowgo 2s Max Through advanced manufacturing processes and extensive testing, Root Industries discovered a unique honeycomb cutout pattern that not only reduced weight but also added a visually striking element to the wheels. The result? A wheel that not only looked great but performed even better. BBS was in the middle of “an extensive turnaround strategy for the whole company” which it plans on continuing to follow. We don’t know whether this refers to the restructuring that occurred after the 2011 bankruptcy or was a more recent development. In any event, it has been assigned two insolvency administrators to help it weather the current crisis.High Temperature Wheels – we offer a range of hard tread phenolic resin temperature resistant wheels along with a soft tread high temperature rubber wheels. I think we’ll see an explosion in the evolution of honeycomb tires over the coming years. You can already see lots of electric scooters coming out with honeycomb as standard. They will get used more widely and I would love to test a scooter mounted with a set of honeycomb electric scooter tires.

One of the biggest advantages of using pneumatic tires is their ability to absorb unevenness from the terrain underneath you. This provides you with a smoother and less bumpy scooter ride. Titanium and Aluminium Bars will be covered for 30 days against bending and snapping unless otherwise stated. Depending on the manufacturer some warranties cover chipping/ paint defects within this time period. If you are constantly having to fill the tire with air because the tire pressure is constantly low, then it is time. If you’re beginning to see that your tread is wearing out then it’s also time for a new one. How do I determine the tire size?

Tread Width – is the width of the wheel that touches the floor surface. Different types of wheel have differing tread widths. Wide tread wheels are ideal for outdoor environments. Health & Safety - All our castors are designed for low speed applications, and power towing castors are available upon special request. It is important to select the right castor for the job, to protect against manual handling injuries.
