Ultimate Light Weight 21" 18" 19" 16" Tire Upgrades for your Surron or Segway 

I'll trade a few ounces for a gummy tire any day, well worth it! Those Cheaters are incredible!

I think you might be right :) they were dropped off with UPS today :) Enjoy those beauties, that Gold rear hub looks amazing on them!

18/21 you mean :)

@@ChargedCycleWorks haha yeah I did. ended up going with 16/19 tho!

Don't get aggressive on that setup, when front wheels explode very bad things happen. We've seen it happen unfortunately. We can't in good conscience recommend a lighter setup that could cause bodily harm or injury. In this case, MTB wheels made for a 35lb bike. While any wheel can handle forces when rolling (hello wagon wheel), torsional stiffness is a completely difference ball game. One wrong hit on a sidewall that might deflect the front end sideways and your wheel could taco easily. Watch the crashes from redbull rampage or the MTB downhill world cup. You'll see many, many folded front wheels. Glad it hasn't happened to you yet, but please be careful and don't ride too aggressive on that setup.

we are erroring on the side of caution with 10g, but it's also a production reason, the simple fact is, everyone who attempts to build wheels for the surron with 12g cannot source nipples large enough for MX rims and that right there is the biggest reason why we use 10g. We have recently found a new source for 12g spokes and nipples and will be building 16/19 with them (coming soon).

haha, yeah we feel your pain, we get the same treatment but from the other end (dealer side). The more we struggle to work with the MTB manufacturers the more we are making our own products and working with Moto companies like Warp9, Rocky Mountain, etc to help grow this sport. Everyone is learning and trying to figure this new market out and we're helping to push it the direction we believe it should go. Fun times :)

@@ChargedCycleWorks in with the new, resist the future and they'll die out ;]

Thanks for the suggestion! It will probably be a while for us to make that video, so here is the cliff notes :). Shinko 241 and 244 are by far the best sellers for this. You can see all our choices here: chargedcycleworks.com/collections/surron-tires/street

@Charged Cycle Works thank you! I'm new to the E-bike world, about to purchase a surron in March. But gonna start buying upgraded parts. Mainly gonna use it for trail riding and street cruising..

We could definitely do a video on that! In fact we want to go much more in depth! Stay Tuned

@@ChargedCycleWorks sweet 🙏🏿

We have not really gotten into street only tires, are you going to keep the 19" OEM wheels? If not and you want 100% street we see a lot going to a 17" rim for the best tire selection. Width is the biggest limitation, especially if yours comes with an RST fork which is extremely narrow you cannot go any wider with that fork. In the rear you can go wider but you'll want to be careful with that, it will need to be low profile for example our 3.50x19 Shinko Trials tires are a HUGE diameter which requires a 21" front wheel upgrade to match the diameter and not mess up chassis geometry. If you stick with OEM wheels our best recommendation are these, however we have access to many others we could explore. chargedcycleworks.com/products/shinko-sr241-trials-rear-tire-for-sur-ron-or-segway-x260-2-75x19

If you haven't seen it yet our tire weight database will be your new best friend for making tire decisions, we are starting to add larger sizes to it for the Ultra Bee: chargedcycleworks.com/pages/sur-ron-tire-upgrade-specs-and-weights. Also we have a Stage1 package which is an 19/21 and comes with a new 21" front with tire mounted to it and a fresh 19" 100/90-19 tire to mount to your stock rear rim. chargedcycleworks.com/products/surron-ultra-bee-stage-1-package

There are only really two great combos and they come from the MX world 16/19 and 18/21. The reason we don't typically do 19/21 is because a 90/100-19 does not exist and you need a 90 width to maximize what can be fit in the swingarm. If you run an 18" full size MX tire in the rear combined with a 19" front which comes off a mini-mx bike your balance and handling is off by quite a lot. A 16" combined with a 19" front is 1000x better, these sizes are made for eachother.

All of the weights of the tires are on our website in the URL below. I would choose the Michelin StarCross over the MX33, killer weight at 7.3 lbs and just as much traction as an MX33. Mitas are sold out at the moment. For these reasons we have made the Michelin our standard tire with our 21" wheelsets we sell. It's a great choice for Surron. The more power you have the less you will notice weight increases, but all of this also affects your range as well. Lots of factors to consider, weight is always something we want to try to minimize. chargedcycleworks.com/pages/sur-ron-tire-upgrade-specs-and-weights

Dual Sport and Light Weight are opposites, that does not exist. DS tires are DOT approved which means the carcass and construction must meet DOT standards all of that adds weight to the tire. The Shinko 244 is 6.5lbs on our weight chart, all things considered that isn't too bad.

K990 is amongst the lightest there is, we have all the weights listed here at the URL below. Same problem on surron the 18/21 adds significant weight decreasing power and range, which is why we really only recommend it for those who are going to do power and battery upgrades. chargedcycleworks.com/pages/sur-ron-tire-upgrade-specs-and-weights

@@ChargedCycleWorks thank you! I have a Sur Ron also. Running a Pirelli Scorpion front 19” and an SR241 rear 19”. Works well!

Dunlop MX33 for Florida

We sell TONS of wheelsets north of the boarder. Shipping is a little bit higher, but not too terrible. Hit the notification button on our 18/21 wheelset and it will alert you for the next batch we sell. chargedcycleworks.com/collections/wheels/products/18-21-complete-wheel-tire-combo

We designed our rear hubs to compensate for the dishing but yes, the mitas fits very well.

Buchanan 10g spokes come with our wheelsets for superior quality and reliability.

Great find! unfortunately our distributor is sold out and we can't get any at the moment to confirm the weight. They list it at 7lb shipping weight. We'll try to get one when they come back and add them to the weight chart on our website

Many of our bikes are 18/21 setup, they are awesome for trail riding and motocross riding, we would definitely suggest suspension with drop crowns so you get more fork clearance. Either that or install a zero stack headset on your bike

@@ChargedCycleWorks I've got forks with a drop crown. I'm trying to decide if I should have my new wheels laced with some offset in the rear to make sure whatever tire I end up with doesn't have clearance issues on the chain. Is there any downside to setting up a wheel this way even if I end up with a more narrow rear tire that doesn't require it?

@JESSEverything if you offset it by a couple mm you shouldn’t have any performance effects that will be noticeable. We have offset many wheels and don’t mind it. The vintage mx33 90/100-18 is a great tire choice for not needing to offset if you end up not wanting to

@@ChargedCycleWorks Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it. You guys put out some really great info and videos.

If you mean 18 rear 19 front, the problem with this is the same problem with a 21" combined with a stock rear 19" tire. There is a pretty drastic imbalance in the bike both in traction and chassis geometry changes. With 18/19 you'll have this massive rear tire with gobs of traction essentially "pushing" your much smaller 19" front tire around. You've also raised the rear end significantly putting a lot more weight onto the front tire which is already at a traction disadvantage to the rear making things worse. If you only want to purchase one wheel we cannot stress enough that the 16" rear with your OEM 19" up front and upgraded tire like an MX33 is AMAZING and by far the single best upgrade you can do to your bike. If you want a 21" front you really must pair it with a 90/100-18 rear, and as soon as you do this open your wallet for power upgrades, you won't like stock power with an 18/21, power upgrades are certain to come next.

@@ChargedCycleWorks thanks for the info I'm currently running 16/19 but I'm planning a18/21 set up with the torp controller instead of the BAC 4000 and it's smaller and lighter

We’ve weighed all tires to help customers understand each tire vs others here: chargedcycleworks.com/pages/sur-ron-tire-upgrade-specs-and-weights

@@ChargedCycleWorks thanksssss👍👍👍 so in the stock size,the lightest tire is CST oem😉😉 thanks thanks thanks👍👍👍

Se envían a todo el mundo. Solo tienes que encontrar un distribuidor en tu país.

The RST forks are going to have problems no matter what tires you run, it's unfortunate that Surron ever put these forks on these bikes, they were desperate when they made this decision and it was a huge mistake. We have plenty of 19" tires with superior performance, increased flat protection, and minimal weight gain available.

@@ChargedCycleWorkswhat would you recommend for 50/50 road/off road . Here in Ny, the weathers impossible to keep up with Z

Unfortunate side effect of COVID production delays from our suppliers/distributors and us simply trying to pace ourselves so the quality doesn’t suffer. Thanks for hanging in there, we’ll continue to do everything we can to get parts back in stock ASAP.
