I think the lesson here is don't mount a non ebike 50 rated tire tubeless on a Class 3 bike. Possibly not even with tubes...
I was going about 24MPH when I heard a shotgun blast followed by the sound of my bare rim scraping the pavement. Blew the tire right off the rim, with sealant splattering everywhere. Thought I was going down for sure. Luckily I was going in a straight line and was able to eventually get stopped (heart pounding).
Ordered the Conti Top Contact II tires. With tubes![Beaming face with smiling eyes :grin: 😁](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/1f601.png)
The tire (Panaracer Gravel King) was fine! I had everything I needed to put a tube in and get home...
