    20” x 3” E-bike tires

    get a street tread for general use and for off road if you dont mind the noise get a knobby.do remember this a properly inflated wider tire is not necessarily softer riding,even a rudimentary suspension will be easier on the posterior.

    had my fill of the fatties,i had to redo a 26x4 bike(stator spin out) went to 26x3 and a dd motor sold it back to a friend,he really liked my upgrades,about the only upgrades i do these days are racks,tires,seats and suspension seatposts.
