The pressurized air inside the tire makes the tire resistant to outside forces trying to deform the tire. However, to a certain degree, it also allows the tire to deform a little. This provides the tire with a cushioning effect as it hits bumps in the road.

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. 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.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 size 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? 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. High Temperature Wheels – we offer a range of hard tread phenolic resin temperature resistant wheels along with a soft tread high temperature rubber wheels.

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. With the 105mm honeycomb wheels installed, our test rider got 8.6miles (14km) out of a full charge. Pneumatic, or air-filled, tires are the most commonly used tire for any type of vehicle today. They are made up of an airtight inner core of pressurized air.Wheel 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! 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. These honeycomb tires are very popular for 8.5″ scooters such as the Xiaomi m365 pro and their lookalikes. Benefits of honeycomb tires on a scooter There are mainly 3 different types of electric scooter tires that can be used on your electric scooter and those are:

A flat-free electric scooter tire new to the market. Segway developed this type of tire over 3-years. These flat free tires have an inner tube that is filled with new solid foaming material. They call it PU material (but we’re not quite sure what the PU stands for yet). It will be interesting to see if other electric scooter manufacturers adopt this type of technology. These are relatively new to the marketplace so we’ve not included them as a “category” for this article….yet! Let’s say your rear tire has no tread left and it’s time to get a new one. You’ve got to figure out what you need to buy. Most tires (specifically air filled scooter tires) Conclusion – What electric scooter tire is best?From a statement posted today iconic wheel maker BBS GmbH has filed for bankruptcy. Makers of the legendary gold honeycomb wheels and supplied to many a carmaker enters bankruptcy protection for the second time. Yes, this isn’t it’s first go-round with BK. BBS went through restructuring once before in 2007. You can ride unforgiving terrain without having to worry about getting a flat. You also don’t have to bother with inflating your tires or keeping the correct air pressure so these tires requires less maintenance. Disadvantages of solid tires on an electric scooter 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 A honeycomb electric scooter tire is something that isn’t new to the market and isn’t widely used across the industry….yet.
