We customized 18-inch tires through the tire factory, and then designed a new frame, front fork and rear fork to match it.Who is making 18" fat tubes and tires?
That’s a future support nightmare,We customized 18-inch tires through the tire factory,
What do you mean? my friend.That’s a future support nightmare,

I agree, with Pandemic supply chain limitations it's a tough time to introduce a new product like a tire and tube size that isn't already in mass production and distribution. The stuff I saw was for kids bikes, and not e-bike rated. You are going to need a lot of stock in the warehouse to support all the international market unless/until the other manufacturers decide to start making it. Could mean a lot of un-rideable bikes parked in garages in short order due to lack of parts. Or you might be starting the next big thing. Time will tell...Where do customers find 18” wheels, tires, and tubes? None of my distribution networks has any.
A PM extolling the virtues landed in my PM box. If 18” is the future and gains wide acceptance, great. But my hard won customer base deserves to not be on the bleeding edge without total clarity. Pushing further and further away from this vender.I agree, with Pandemic supply chain limitations it's a tough time to introduce a new product like a tire and tube size that isn't already in mass production and distribution.

18inch tires are mainly for female riders or short riders. Secondly, our customized tires are all-terrain tires, with a double-layer anti-puncture structure, one layer is a fiber layer, and the other layer is a steel ply. It is stronger and more durable than different tires. For customers, because our main partners are offline bicycle shops, customers in the community buy products in nearby shops, and even if they need to replace tires, it will be very convenient for customers. For partners, operating products that other stores cannot replace temporarily will increase customer stickiness and bring more profits to the store.I agree, with Pandemic supply chain limitations it's a tough time to introduce a new product like a tire and tube size that isn't already in mass production and distribution.

Feel free to waste a eBike here in MN.industry. It may be difficult, and we will even waste research and development funds for this.
NO!!?? Really? What a PIA.RadWagon's proprietary 22 inch tire.
We have sufficient tire inventory to support the problems our customers encounter, so this is not a problem. I believe that riders who have actually ridden our products will give us the correct feedback.This is so true!
I know someone who bought VoltBike Kodiak because she didn't want to be stuck with RadWagon's proprietary 22 inch tire.
I have never heard of 18 x 4.0 tire either. Proprietary tires are bad idea, where do customer get replacement tube for 18 x 4.0?
