- If you Know you KNOW... These are not your everyday typical install... Although "V" from powerful Lithium in Jersey City may make it seem somewhat easy... Todays he is presented with a challenge...
With today's modification speeds can reach higher than the speed rating on most factory tires... So it is a good rule to upgrade your tires as well...
You may try this at home but it is my recommendation that you seek an installer with the right tools and experience...
So please grab your popcorn... Sit back and enjoy this episode...

I like to add a little bit of air to the tube before I put in in the tire. Not much, just enough to give it some shape.
I think they’re being cautious not to pinch it… 🙌💯💪
That’s what I do every time👍🏽
I have been a Auto Mechanic for over 25 years and i have had some low profile tires that were a bitch to put on .
There are a few things i would have done different than Mr V was doing .
First you need to use a stronger mixture of Dish Soap and water but not sue a Spray Bottle , you need a RAG BRUSH ......
It holds a shitload of more soap than that spray bottle could ever put out inthe area of the bead.
I have a few more tips but every issue is different and every person performing the job attacks the issue differently .
Good video for peeps who have never seen it !!!!
Thanx J Have a great week !
Tell V to use MORE SOAP !!!
ROTFL 🤣 I will tell him… So sorry for the late reply… don’t know how I missed it… Thanks for your expertise 🙌💯🙌🙏
Put 120s on both my Supers. That’s no joke installing. Not easy. Lot of work. I put a 120 on the stock 4 inch wheel and 1 on a 5 in wheel. Looks much wider on 5 in wheel and even harder to bead but possible. Keep up the great videos.
Sounds dreadful… I can only imagine… I’d love to watch the install… if you documented it please share the link… 🙌🙏🙌
Whats the size you put on? Looking gnarly with them tires
I'm just asking , but why not go tubeless.. I'm curious what your thoughts are
I have these on my Forza 125 scooter these are great rain tyres if I lean really heavy in corners you really feel the BITE from the tires in the steering handles very responsive great handling tires
Great to read… I’m tossed btw tgese and the Shinkos…
It helps if you inflate the tube a bit! I think You will get a smaller range but you can say goodbye to flats!
No air in tube… it’ll get pinched easily… it’s a motorcycle tire… No flats.. only if you don’t ride… Flats are inevitable… so sorry I missed this comment 🙏🙌💯
I have old splitting walmart tires on a 750w front hub 700c wheel. Works great!
lol 😂 really…??? If you’re on instagram send me a screen shot my username is @mr.e_from_nyc
Directional tires is for dispersing water so not to hydroplane
they help with that yes...
I’m having PTSD 😳, punctured 4 inner tubes a bent rim since the first moto change tire video release😢. Moto Tire stand, leverage, hella of lotta soap, technique, and patience. I see, I believe, I achieve. No joke, Vee eating tires🛞breakfast, bravo 🎉Mate! Thanks for capturing MrE
I feel your pain… 🫶 sorry for ROTFL 🤪 I can just imagine… Thank you 🙏 I agree with everything you’ve mentioned… not the best news but you’ve gained memories and experience valuable lessons here… 🙌💯🙌
@@mr.e_from_nyc Agreed, the horror stories i’ll tell my unborn children. Journey is most valuable.
Update: Level set, My Grizzly AR front and rear moto 🥾🥾 are restored, next up mounting this controller safe and secure to frame. 🥲😅
@@mvf136 🙌💯🙌 I sub’d I’ll look for updates…
I have blown out the innertube on Bandit twice now, the tires are low profile and I weigh 260 pounds.
I think my weight plus the speed is causing the blow outs.
Thinking that a bigger thicker tire might help.
What low profile tires are you using… maybe the low profile is the issue.. But… These tires are definitely better at reducing punctures…
@@mr.e_from_nyc The Kendra Kraze tjat comes with the bandit.
These are not punctures, the tube "splits" at the seam.
After watching this video i sure don't want to have to change tires on my stealth bomber. I sure wish someone would open a ebike shop near me for stuff like this. I know I'm going to have to change my rear tire this summer i just hope it's not going to be that hard i do have tire spoons and rim protectors. But i don't have a tire stand i will have to get creative i guess.
I’m sure you got this… He did it with his hands… 🙌
Used cube whater 20L, its the equal tire stand
I did this with these tires after my 5kw kit. I was so scared i was gonna bend the rim. It was really tight and i just did it on the floor like a crazy person lol. Idk how he got it to not bunny hop. Theres litetally no room for it to go besides right to the rimwall. He didnt use balancing weights? Great tires btw!
Thank you 🙏 No balancing weights were used… just trying hard to set the tire properly to get it balanced… I also was scared for the rim but they can hold a riders weight… that alone says how durable the rim is… 🙌💯
@@mr.e_from_nyc having to place weights to balance is NORMAL. It being balanced just by seating the tire is not normal. It doesnt make sense. My tire is properly seated but still has a slight vibration. I dont notice it when im riding it though. Kinda seems like bologna. I have heatsinks on my motor aswell so theres a bit more to it. So if people just "properly" installed all the bike/car tires there wouldnt be a need for balancing i suppose? Lol
@@St.FighterZ I don’t know of a shop that has a machine to properly balance These setups with weights… That’s why it’s important to properly seat it…
Nicely Done!
Thank you… 🙌🙏🙏🙏🙌
Ebike got a pair 100 80 16, the front spins in one direction and the rear tire in the opposite spin, it was weird
I would get a rubber mallot and hit it a few time while airing up to pop bead on.
I need to reach out to “V” and find out why he didn’t… If you’ve done it and have it documented please send me the link… I’m interested 🙌💯💪
I'm realizing too we all do it different 🤭
Awsome job guys.. soo helpful
Great to read… thank you… 🙏 Powerful Lithium is setting the bar… if you’re in the tristate area please visit… or send them some love on Instagram 🙌🙏🙌
Does anyone know if there are rim limitation's or other limitations that make using motorcycle tires or these Michelin City Grip 2 on any 20X4 Fat Tire rim?
my instincts are telling me, that ebike owners are getting mislead and getting the wrong imformation that makes you think your specific fat tire Ebike model is compatible automatically with all sorts of 20X4 tire choices, and I don't think that's the case,
Yeah I had to remove my hall sensor on one of my other bikes to put a axle trailer hitch on bike for my trailer. So I can go to the store cause I gave up my car cause it is breaking down so much and way over 222 thousand miles wire are brittle and it is just shorting and acting crazy.
Oh No…. So sorry to read… what kind of bike and do you have someone near you to help with the repair…?
@@mr.e_from_nyc my bike is fixed I wired it up straight works perfect.
hello. please tell me, is this a super73 frame? you put tires with a radius of 16 inches, and what is the height from the pedal to the ground, if the crank is lowered down?
Wheel isn’t stock but pedals and cranks are… 🙌💯🙌
So the 140/70/16 fits a s73 RX rear? I’m considering the Shinko 588 rear and a 120/70/16 567 front. Will it fit? Great video!!!!
Rear no problem front might be too wide… I went with 110/70/16 myself…
So sorry for the late reply..
Vee made it look so easy…not something you can do on the road when you get a flat on these motorcycle tires. Have done it on the side of the road, a bitch to take it off and on and punctured the tube on the reinstall. Definitely need tow and a trip to a tire shop
Not for side road repair… I travel with green slime… only use if it flat… just to get me to their shop and then change the inner tube right away…
very helpful video. keep up the good work. but bro the camera shake. it's too much
I will use a tripod lol 😝 I used my mirrorless not a GoPro this time…
can you link the tries and tubes for a 20 inch ebike tire please ?
Sometimes I get them from amazon...www.michelinman.com/motorcycle/tires/michelin-city-grip-2
Is this an actual motorcycle tire? I see them advertised as scooter tires, but I can't say I've seen scooters with 16" wheels before.
Yes it is a motorcycle tire…
These are 3x the weight of stock bike tires, how does that affect range? And surely there's a machine that can do this? Those spokes will need to be upgraded too?
Thicker spoke is always a plus… heavier tire will slow you down a lil… top speed if it was 50 mph with these you may make 46-47 as whelk as you battery may deplete a bit faster… But if your upgrading everything you’re not really gonna feel a huge difference… in the end you will be quite happy with the performance
do you put same size tire on the front and the back or go do they make a smaller tire for the front?
We try to get the fastest tire we can fit on the rear so the rear will always be fatter... 💯
I want to know if the rim width matters what size the tire can fit, for example I want to use the same michelin city grip 2 tire but my front rim is 20x4 80mm wide and the rear 20x4 100mm wide can i put front and rear for example 110-70-16 or 120/70-16?
Yes Width and the wheels walls size matters… the wider and taller wheel will sit better and is installed easier… 🙌💯💪
Another 💪💪💪...
🙌🙏🙏🙏🙌
Does anyone know what motorcycle tires to use with a 26x4.0 rim?
If the brakes r truly on the left then congrats, u put the tire on backwards 😝
And the tire is on wrong as well… 🙂🤣🤣
Then you are saying i need 16in motorcycle tires to fit my 20in rims?? Thats confusing i would think they should be 20in tires not 16in.
Moto tires are measured by the rim. Bike tires use the actual tire itself.
Do you have Size in 20×4.0 ---100/90-406
We got ours from Amazon… you can order yours and if you need it installed we can help… 🙌💯🙌
Just for clarity. Is this a 20 inch wheel? And if so. What is the size of the tire for the front and the rear. Also what's the size of the inner tubes for the front and back .
The actual rim diameter is 16 inches. Not sure why everyone calls it 20 inch. I had to send my rear wheel back to S73 for replacement and I bought a 20x20x20 box to ship it in thinking that was the actual diameter. The wheel was swimming inside the 20x20 dimension.
Does he charge flat rate or hourly per tire? 🤔🤟👽🚲🎬
I want to say flat rate… please reach out to them… 🫶 their info is in the description 🙌💯
How come no one balances these tire on ebikes with balanceing beads? I have on all my motorcycles. I also decided to do it on my grizzly and made them way smother of a ride
Usually tires are balance in a machine designed for cars and motorcycles not e-bikes… putting balancing beads is kinda like a guessing game… as longs as the tire is seated properly and the rim isn’t bent there’s no balancing issues…
Kali
Wait… WuuuuuT…. 🙏 explain…
isn't the city grip 2 a tubeless tire why add the tube
Because of the wheel used… You’d need and a tire rim… like the ones I’m using for my dream build…
It's a spoke rim, tubes are required.
@@fryloc359 I learned something new 😊
So I have had another two flats in my tire, thankfully no blowouts.
How are these tires holding up? Are they puncture resistant?
I wouldn't say puncture resistant but way harder to puncture than the standard ebike tire... 💯
Whats the tire size
Front 140/70/16
Rear 110/70/16
In the video it says 120/80/16 but what is the front size
It is 120 my bad…
is this 20x4 rim ?
🤙🏼⚡👀⚡🤙🏼
Hey 👋 Always love seeing you here… thank you… 🙏🙏🙏
What tubes are those??
brand or size...?
Is V Russian he sounds like it and the strength of or Ukrainian???
I think he’s related to Mighty Mouse…. Lol 😝 But I’ll let him explain his background in a future video…
@@mr.e_from_nyc I like him he is cool that would be a great video spotlight on v love that idea
It will remain a myster E
@@xandernuk5062 lmao 😜 No it won’t I’m actually trying to push “V” to do an ebike community spotlight… wish me luck
S73 said don’t put moto tires on the bike yikes
Send me the link please… I’d love to read or view their reasons why…
@@mr.e_from_nyc I’ll see if I can find it it’s been a while
@@BASESKIZL awesome 😎 ty
Why not?
I mean they are heavier but not bye that much not enough to be any real danger to the rim itself.
I been building motorized bicycles for years 80cc 2stroke motors or p79- p212cc 4 strokes . Getting motorcycle parts mopads parts to work with bicycle parts is nothing new at all.
Maybe it's not about compatibility maybe it's about how hard it is to get them on. Very easy to damage the rim getting Motos on if you don't know what you doing
That was painful to watch i just zip tie the half the tire put air in let air out
Very Painful… He even cut himself… But know when he’s working on your bike he will get the job done ✅ and make it look right… 🙌💯🙌
why do they always give them these ridiculous over-embellished names? It is just a standard tire. The tires that come with ebikes these days are garbage.
It helps them stand out… 🙌💯🙌
Dude is babbling bull$#!+
🤦♂️ JaJaJa
