Possible to get a carbon fiber wheel for the Turbo S

[ronin2000]

Would carbon fiber wheels work on a Turbo or Turbo S? Or would the bike be too heavy for the wheels? Would it be possible to get this done? Just curious.

When I was putting together a hub motor last summer I had a 36h cf i30 rim that I thought I might use but after consulting a few knowledgable wheel builders I decided against it and went with an aluminum one.

I would put more credence on going to a tubeless rim and being able to take advantage of that type of system over carbon fiber and did with my next hub build.

Thank you for that tip.

That would be a bad idea. With the weight of the rear hub, you need a tough but yet forgiving metal. Carbon wheels should work fine but they are not designed for hub motor specs.
You could save 1 lb or 2 by going tubeless.
