## Tires
* Tires
* Note that you will be looking for motorcycle tires because you have motorcycle rims. Electric scooter type tires measure the diameter from the outer tread of the tire. Motorcycle tires measure the diameter of the rim. Don't buy scooter tires unless they say moped scooter.
* Front
* 12 inch front tire
* Front tire 2.75 maybe 3 inch max width for the rim
* [16 inch scooter tire thats actually 12 inch motorcycle tire](https://cart.electricscooterparts.com/16x3-0-all-terrain-tread-electric-street-scooter-tire)
* Kinda like an 80/20 tire meaning 80% road 20% off road
* Because this tire is so wide be very careful when installing it on the rim. The rim is pretty weak and can bend easily. Be sure to use [some tire lube](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H6HMPRK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
* Rear
* You need a 10 inch
* Rear tire 3 inch max width for the rim

* Wont work with a heat sink without modifications
* How to and parts
* Get [some tire lube](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H6HMPRK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) if you plan to replace your own tires. Makes it a million times easier.
* [A tire bead tool](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O8RWF5Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) helps if you don't have someone to hold down your spoon
* [These spoons](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QG0AKI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) are coo but honestly it does'nt matter as long as you lube up the tire.
* **Don't [bend your spoon too far](https://youtu.be/ToeaB1SpH2s?t=187)** or you'll pop your tube. Its pretty much guaranteed.
## Kits
* [These](https://www.electroandcompany.com/buy-kits) are good but seem a bit expensive.
