You could have saved time and too much effort mounting the tire using the “zip tie method” as per several TH-cam videos. I mounted front and rear Shinko 244’s today using tire liners, and Kenda “Tuff Tubes” pre installed in the tires, then zip ties to “pinch” the beads together all around the tire, then with a little soapy water for lube, slip the whole thing onto the rim, remove the zip ties and inflate! A 90lb girl could do it!
I had one of the first mountain bikes in my small town. As I recall it was a Murray Baja. Cost me about $160 in about 1980 as you said. I would have been about 12. Saved for a long time to buy it. It was an awesome bike! Wore that thing out!
I am 1024 miles into my HyperScorpion (and loving it) - though my back tire has large patches of the "armor" showing. I have Amazoned a pair of the Shinko 244's and plan to go through this. Have never changed tires on anything other than my old 10 speed as a kid but I think it looks simple enough. The REAR wheel has me a little concerned because of the chain and the power and all of that so I think I will start on the front and make sure I don't make a total mess of things :)
Its no different than your old 10speed except heavier. A couple of tywraps to cut and the power cable disconnect like a garden hose. This is what you want + tubes if you choose. I'm still on one of the stock tubes amzn.to/3mR18b9
I installed both shinko 242s on my hyperscorpion and probably lost 10 or 15% of range and acceleration. But I only weigh 130, so I still have enough juice. And I don't worry about flats or probably having to replace my tires for the rest of my life. I'm 71. I want a bike that takes zero maintenance and this is it, except for replacing brake pads, for the last 2 and 1/2 years. I do oil the chain!
Great video. Your new tire looks badass. I’m not happy with my stock tires either. Each time I ride, I can feel the tires slip when I come across just a little bit of gravel. I’m inspired to do this tire upgrade myself. Sorry to hear about your lens. I know the shitty feeling of having expensive things get destroyed all because of a miscalculation.
I figured out why the stock tires suck, and there are so many reasons, I must make a video to show an prove it. Basically it the radius of the tire profile, its too short, so we are truthfully riding on s 2" Skinny tire.
@@UncleFjester Never going fast enough, but the real fun is creeping up like a slick tired ninja on folks, the knobby tires are great but sure do roar at certain speeds!
Just curious UF, have you had any electrical problems, specifically with the terminals on the battery and bike? I just got a new Juiced scorpion 15 days ago and it's already out of comission because the battery and bike terminals have fried and need replacing. You seem to ride the hell out of yours so I was wondering if you've ever took a close look at them? They're supposed to be a shiny gold conductor free of any black carbon deposits. What do yours look like?
JV, Because of all the documented problems with the battery connections I have never even attempted to remove the battery. I leave the charger plugged in and on all the time when I'm not working on it or riding. The JBHS stays in my garage on concrete floors and the charger brick is on the floor. So, when this Chine UH POS catches fire or melts it won't burn down my house. Good Luck with your Problem, FB Group "Modded Juiced Bikes" has some remedies for this problem.
By the book. Right out of Alvin and the Chipmunks, lol. Now a really fun video would be if you could mount those for tubeless with some STAN's lovin! The VEE mission controls will tubeless mount on those same rims for certain as we have a guy this summer that runs his on a Hulk themed Scorpion.
Hi. This is absolutely fantastic and much appreciated. I totally agree with your assessment of the stock tires. Could you please tell me exactly what size Shinko 244 you ordered to fit the bike as I did not see a 20" Shinko. Would really appreciate knowing this. Thank you so much.
amzn.to/34hYVv2 the tires are 16" x 3. the rim measures 16" But Togas deceptive marketing claims 20" tires,which they are but the rim is 16". Much like my FJ has 33" tires on16" rims
are the 20 inch fat tire ebike wheels pretty much the same across all the popular brands of ebikes? I have an ariel rider grizzly. The picture of the tires on amazon dont look like they are for a 20" wheel? Maybe they look skinny and bigger because they arent mounted and aired up?
What size Shinkos did you order? The drop down menu to select tire size on their website or at Revzilla has no 4.25" x 20" option, in fact they jump from 19" to 21" for example 3x21 is a choice.

I really appreciate your personal juiced ebike experience, knowledge and insight that you share. I have a scorpion X. I don't like the stock tires. I just purchased a set of shinko 244 3.00x16 tires as a replacement after getting a flat with rear tire. I'm curious what size tubes you have. When I ordered the tires, I also ordered a set of 2.75/3.00X16 tubes. Did I order the correct size tube? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do you need to buy motorcycle tubes to install these tires? I heard the 241s are softer and might be better on snow? I have a single battery HS2 and it is my main transportation. Soon to snow here in Colorado and I have been searching for good snow tires. 2.5 mile commute to work, did it on a electric xp 2.0 with a few wipe outs and curious to see how my HS2 will do on some new tires.
Hey Austin, From what I know the 241 and 244's only difference is the pattern of the tread. I used the Kenda HD tubes amzn.to/45jkIji with never a puncture. IMHO no tires, with out studs are good on icy hard packed. But the depth of the Shinko tread is far better than any of the "bicycle tires" The lugs on the 244's are thick enough that you could screw in small screws for studs www.homedepot.com/p/Grip-Rite-7-x-7-16-in-Bugle-Pan-Head-Framing-Screw-1-lb-Pack-716FPHS1/100126679
I'm going to order me a tire like that . I just put two Kenda krusade 20x4 on my Hyperscorpi I'm going in the woods deer hunting with mine. Hopefully my new tires work better than the stock tires because I busted my ass a couple of times.Great video thanks for the information.Merry Christmas.🌲
Fjuck Yes! But, I didn't do it for the flat prevention, the stock tires have a serious design flaw, as in not being able to lean it and its so unstable you can't let go of the handle bars for a split second. These I can pedal or Cruise Control @ 28Mph with no hands. 241 & 244 are same tire with different tread design, that all.
Sorry about your camera getting damaged, but I do appreciate your TH-cam video. Was looking at upgrading the HyperScorpion stock tires to something that can handle easy dirt/gravelly roads and wet road conditions. Been looking at Mongoose, Kenda Krusade, Vee Speedster & Shinko 244. But was difficult to tell which size was needed for Shinko 244, so glad you gave us the link for the 3.00 x 16 45P tire. May I ask why you only replace the front tires and not do both? You still recommend the Shinko 244 over the other tire options I listed and if so, why? Thanks in advance!
@@UncleFjester Did you do more runs with both tires with Shinko 244 to do a comparison of how much less mileage you get on a full battery? Are you using these out for the rest of the year or just for winter? If so, any suggestions for summer tires?
Actually that's true, just use a pair of side cutter pliers and cut the beads, the old tires are trash. the new ones will slip on with the proper amount of lube
Uncle, did you change both the front and the back tires?? Will the fender still fit with the new tires? Thanks, I appreciate you doing these videos, I have watched many, but, this is the first comment/question!! Thanks again
@@UncleFjester Thank you, do you still recommend them? I have a Hyperscorpian in Florida, stock tires for now but,, ride mostly on paved streets and trails... I ordered one for my place in northern Wisconsin, and the trails are more dirt than paved, so I'm gonna put these on up there, first. Just wanted to ask if you still recommend them? Thanks again. gene
15-20% but you can make that better if you ride at a higher pressure. I have yet to slide out with the Shinkos and it happened almost weekly with the POS Innovas. You'll want to 2nd battery next.🤔
I’m curious how in the world did you raise the bike? Was it the ladder ? I have a hyper scrambler 2 and I’m dreading the thought of doing maintenance on it due to the weight of the bike 😅
Couldn't resist, ordered the Shinko's. Now will have 3 sets. Stock Innova PoS's and the Kenda's. That blows breaking the optics. Looking forward to rear wheel vid.
@@UncleFjester My normal loop around here is around 20 mi. anyway. Would rather have a good ride than a shitty one. That fork on Amazon just might be the ticket the specs are right on. Keep up the good work. Other than getting a star nut for it could be a good project. Not a bad price for necessary upgrade. Ordered a Sondors MadMod. 24" wheels 750 motor 48v 21ah . Check them out. Something to look forward to. March delivery.
Looks Cool, I saw two 5 year old original looking yellow Sondors on the trail today. Right now I'm going to make the best of this 💩🛵 and hope for 2 years before more 💩 Don't you think our normal loops become what we can do and make back with a little reserve? More range and I think my loop would be bigger.
@@UncleFjester I'm limited to where to ride because of construction and 3 of the routes out of here go to Detroit and I stay out of that shit hole. I can only ride west and back. That's why I have other bikes I can put on a hitch carrier and go to better places.
1) go measure your stock POS tire its not even 4.0" 2) look at the CONTACT patch area, it's not even 2" 3) 244's measure 3.5", all of which will contact the road
@UncleFjester im a new subscriber and i definitely learned a lot from your videos, i want to ask you if its still possible to put tannus armour insert for this particular tires? thank you.
4 hours to change my 20" tube on my hyperscorpion, what a pain in the ass. Of course the axle retaining washer bolt was torqued down so hard at factory it was stripped. Anyways can anyone please send me a link for the proper size Shinko 244's, I can't find them on Amazon anywhere.
The proper link is in the description, as is, all links for products in all videos 16"x3" amzn.to/2LLEpNo While your at it you better replace that condom thin tube that came with your POS Bike. www.amazon.com/shop/unclefjester/list/38G2OTCL3FPEQ?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfunclefjester_PWZZGBNCWEKYHJ5VJD51

Thanks buddy
Fender fits, Your gonna hate this, prolly already know it, but you gotta pull the Fjuckin wheel again, see if everything spins correctly and look for a washer/spacer something hitting or binding. Re-install. Nothing is consistent on these.
@@UncleFjester they sent me to a video of another bike to properly take the wheel off...a different bike with a different wheel configuration...guess I'll have to figure this out....my rear cylinder retaining pin stripped when changing brakes they said no one else is having problems with it so they would gladly sell me an entire brake line handle and caliper at a slight discount🤦♂️

The Shinko SR714 90/80-16 is a road tire I run front and rear, semi-hellish to get the valve stem in place but way easier to mount than 20" bicycle tires on my 4.25" rims. They have a flat profile, making zip tie technique futile (fjutile?). Great stability at 6lb each, that alone convinced me never to go back to bicycle tires - but I won't be riding fire roads or trails on them, saw Uncle F wipe out enough times for both of us. Just another option to put out there. Cheers
336 miles,brand new, I babyed this thing. Then all of a sudden the throttle starts to sputtering around 30mph, but the pedal assist still works and I start to get the #4 error. Before I get home the #30 errors pops up. I get hone look at all connections. Everything is perfect. I never got it wet, never jumped it, never abused it. So I keep trying it out in the driveway, hoping to get it working, but the pedal assist won't even work now, then I get the #12 error then I got nothing. No power no screen no headlight, just the brake light. I call support and they hung up on me three times lied to me and never helped me. The next day I went out to play around with it, and now it powers on but no throttle no assist and when I try to pedal it the screen flickers on and off. What fucking 🍋. I am homicidal after this. What nerve, DO LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. For all who do know, This is a JUICED ebike hyperscrambler 2. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF SHIT!!
Nice and informative, I have the hyperscorpion too, and I get nervous everytime I go over a little gravel especially during a turn. Also What kind of rotors are those?
Don't wait another Mile and swap out to the Shinkos NOW! I tried to slide out with Shinkos and never was able to get it to break grip. Rotors are 203mm th-cam.com/video/qrQMLfYNQfM/w-d-xo.html
Hello Old Man. Im just 68 years old. I have rode the tread off my Engwe Pro tires & heard these are a good shoe. Are these worth the cost? Are they quiet? I am tired of dogs chasing me. I don't like shooting dogs. Hood Rats not so much. I'm old, I'm not defenseless. Hope this finds you well.
S'up Tramp? Yea just get the Shinko 244's. awesome traction on pavement and gravel, They do have a rolling low hum, kida like jeeps with big knobby's on pavement. I like it, but I wear earbuds all the time. as far as the Dogs, use this once and you'll never have a problem again, easy to deploy and since your moving, its easy to hit the dog and avoid friendly spray. amzn.to/486rz1A
No reason to really use the camera for these videos unless you want that amazing REAL bokeh, phone/GoPro cheaper to replace. That's been one of my biggest fears is dropping my lens. I rode a electric unicycle with 7k in my hand 🤦♂️
Hey my friend, 5 crashes on my new hyper scorpion 2...I was just looking at the innovative 20x4 tire. those tires are useless and over priced that are currently on the juiced bikes

@@UncleFjester regarding the kenda inner tubes, the stem comes with 2 nuts. Do I position them on each side of the rim (one under the the rim and the 2nd outside of rim?)
Hi Fester how are you?.... I like you electric bike... I just order one too.. I will like to know the full description of those tires I went this website...www.Revzilla.com and there not the number I'm looking for please help to fine the one you have in that website please my electric bike it's on the way and will like to have the tires and the so I can install them when it gets here....
What is the model number of this tire and tube information I love it better than the slick tires so not safe. Did you buy it on amazon? Are these tires puncture resistant
I just got a set of these Shinko 244 they were super easy to install. The hardest part was getting the old peace of crap tires off first. The soapy water sure did help lube up the tire and rim. Also it’s a pain to get the back tire back on the bike cause the rear is very heavy with the motor,rim,tire. Getting the chain on has alway been a pain even on normal bikes but with this bike and probably all e bikes you have to worry about the center locking washers on the rear axle.
Was that just a filter that broke that you had on the front of the lens I hope...Damn that sucks. Go Pro and your phone would probably be more than good for youtube.
GoPro & iPhone better be good enough. Most of the damage was to the lens hood & Filter. I had to use a hack saw to remove the filter and I have some damage to the front element glass🤬
@@UncleFjester from what I see on line you will be fine. As long as the content is good the quality of the video really does not matter. Plus 1080p is all you need, 4k ain't worth all the time and memory it takes to edit and most people do not have 4 k monitors and when you are watching on your phone or tablet youtube scales all that shit down anyways. Unless your shit was on the big screen at the movies you will be fine. Also some wire cutters will cut/nibble through that filter ring and then you can peel it out of the lens hood.
the Junk Bike Hyperscorpion has 16" rims but the tire says 20" Should be the same on your's Remember ChineUh Lies to make 💩 sound better. But Yes, the Shinko says 3" but measures closer to 4" This what I have, grippy under all conditions amzn.to/2LLEpNo

The lugs on the 244's are thick enough that you could screw in small screws for studs www.homedepot.com/p/Grip-Rite-7-x-7-16-in-Bugle-Pan-Head-Framing-Screw-1-lb-Pack-716FPHS1/100126679
@@UncleFjester thanks for the link. I work at Home Depot and know exactly where they are.. lol 🤙
Can i convert a scorpion into a hyper scorpion? Change the motor and battery and controller?
Sure can. But you'll still have a POS 💩💩💩 Bike
I'm going to order me a tire like that . I just put two Kenda krusade 20x4 on my Hyperscorpi I'm going in the woods deer hunting with mine. Hopefully my new tires work better than the stock tires because I busted my ass a couple of times.Great video thanks for the information.Merry Christmas.🌲

That link you put in your drop down is a 241 not a 244. Is the piece of mind of not getting a flat as easy worth the distance loss?
Fjuck Yes! But, I didn't do it for the flat prevention, the stock tires have a serious design flaw, as in not being able to lean it and its so unstable you can't let go of the handle bars for a split second. These I can pedal or Cruise Control @ 28Mph with no hands.
241 & 244 are same tire with different tread design, that all.
Sorry about your camera getting damaged, but I do appreciate your TH-cam video. Was looking at upgrading the HyperScorpion stock tires to something that can handle easy dirt/gravelly roads and wet road conditions. Been looking at Mongoose, Kenda Krusade, Vee Speedster & Shinko 244. But was difficult to tell which size was needed for Shinko 244, so glad you gave us the link for the 3.00 x 16 45P tire. May I ask why you only replace the front tires and not do both? You still recommend the Shinko 244 over the other tire options I listed and if so, why? Thanks in advance!
Front was 1st, rear happened a few weeks later and is up on the JB Playlist. Love the 244's! Innovas are a dangerous design and should be recalled
@@UncleFjester Did you do more runs with both tires with Shinko 244 to do a comparison of how much less mileage you get on a full battery? Are you using these out for the rest of the year or just for winter? If so, any suggestions for summer tires?
Thanks for the Video
Shinkos were definitely an E ticket
Fckin love the look and ride
"I did not need to buy tire irons bitch !" lmaooooo
Actually that's true, just use a pair of side cutter pliers and cut the beads, the old tires are trash. the new ones will slip on with the proper amount of lube
Uncle, did you change both the front and the back tires?? Will the fender still fit with the new tires? Thanks, I appreciate you doing these videos, I have watched many, but, this is the first comment/question!!
Thanks again
Front & Back & Yes
@@UncleFjester Thank you, do you still recommend them? I have a Hyperscorpian in Florida, stock tires for now but,, ride mostly on paved streets and trails... I ordered one for my place in northern Wisconsin, and the trails are more dirt than paved, so I'm gonna put these on up there, first. Just wanted to ask if you still recommend them? Thanks again. gene
@@UncleFjester How much range did you lose with new tires??
These are surprisingly awesome on the street too, they have little hum, like jeep tires at speed.😎
15-20% but you can make that better if you ride at a higher pressure. I have yet to slide out with the Shinkos and it happened almost weekly with the POS Innovas.
You'll want to 2nd battery next.🤔
I’m curious how in the world did you raise the bike? Was it the ladder ? I have a hyper scrambler 2 and I’m dreading the thought of doing maintenance on it due to the weight of the bike 😅
th-cam.com/video/teYZV-yujjs/w-d-xo.html
Couldn't resist, ordered the Shinko's. Now will have 3 sets. Stock Innova PoS's and the Kenda's. That blows breaking the optics. Looking forward to rear wheel vid.
I may upload a video that will make you glad you bought the Shinkos, except for being range killlers
@@UncleFjester My normal loop around here is around 20 mi. anyway. Would rather have a good ride than a shitty one. That fork on Amazon just might be the ticket the specs are right on. Keep up the good work. Other than getting a star nut for it could be a good project. Not a bad price for necessary upgrade. Ordered a Sondors MadMod. 24" wheels 750 motor 48v 21ah . Check them out. Something to look forward to. March delivery.
Looks Cool, I saw two 5 year old original looking yellow Sondors on the trail today.
Right now I'm going to make the best of this 💩🛵 and hope for 2 years before more 💩
Don't you think our normal loops become what we can do and make back with a little reserve? More range and I think my loop would be bigger.
@@UncleFjester I'm limited to where to ride because of construction and 3 of the routes out of here go to Detroit and I stay out of that shit hole. I can only ride west and back. That's why I have other bikes I can put on a hitch carrier and go to better places.
I just ordered up a couple for my bike it's got cst scouts iam not a fan of them
You'll like them, they got a lil road noise that I liked.
Did you use the same 20x4 tubes or did you have to downsize your tubes?
I used the same tube that the bike came with n one tire and got a HD Kenda tube for the other.
Online it says these tires are only 3.15 thickness. The stock tires are 4.25 - doesn't this make them much thinner?
1) go measure your stock POS tire its not even 4.0"
2) look at the CONTACT patch area, it's not even 2"
3) 244's measure 3.5", all of which will contact the road
@@UncleFjester I bought them and replaced the front today. They worked real nice. Thanks for the tip.
@UncleFjester im a new subscriber and i definitely learned a lot from your videos, i want to ask you if its still possible to put tannus armour insert for this particular tires? thank you.
I can't see why not but the tire is too dangerous to mess with.
Get Shinko 244's, 241's or Michelin City Grips
Wow thank you bro ❤
Welcome 😊
4 hours to change my 20" tube on my hyperscorpion, what a pain in the ass. Of course the axle retaining washer bolt was torqued down so hard at factory it was stripped. Anyways can anyone please send me a link for the proper size Shinko 244's, I can't find them on Amazon anywhere.
The proper link is in the description, as is, all links for products in all videos

@UncleFjester hey man 2 things first you def got a sub your a real helpful guy and I hope everything's ok with u buddy, second I now just got a flat after 950 miles on the same bike and now and planning on doing this same thing but I have a question that might be stupid(sorry new to bikes learning from you) do I need to purchase a new bike tube or can you just straight up use the tire, and if I do need it r the measurement for the tube the same as tire? Thanks buddy
I would, 16"tube
Nice 💯👍👍😁
Will the fender fit? Also I changed the tube on my rear hyper tire now when I tighten down the nuts my cassette wont move when I pedal backwards
Fender fits, Your gonna hate this, prolly already know it, but you gotta pull the Fjuckin wheel again, see if everything spins correctly and look for a washer/spacer something hitting or binding. Re-install. Nothing is consistent on these.
@@UncleFjester thanks... I only see one washer on the cassette side....no spacer which seems like there should be one
Silver one? If I remember right...
@@UncleFjester they sent me to a video of another bike to properly take the wheel off...a different bike with a different wheel configuration...guess I'll have to figure this out....my rear cylinder retaining pin stripped when changing brakes they said no one else is having problems with it so they would gladly sell me an entire brake line handle and caliper at a slight discount🤦♂️
Sorry about the Camera Lens UF.
That sounded fine to me.
Definitely much better tire. How much did you pay for the new tire ?

Nothing to LOL about if you really care for the people of China.
The Shinko SR714 90/80-16 is a road tire I run front and rear, semi-hellish to get the valve stem in place but way easier to mount than 20" bicycle tires on my 4.25" rims. They have a flat profile, making zip tie technique futile (fjutile?). Great stability at 6lb each, that alone convinced me never to go back to bicycle tires - but I won't be riding fire roads or trails on them, saw Uncle F wipe out enough times for both of us. Just another option to put out there. Cheers
ouch for the lens
I got some 26" Kenda tires like that on my ebike. Those block tires are premium👌
That does look like a pain, but saving this video for when I have to change mine. It's good to see the process. Thumbs up!
Thanks 👍
336 miles,brand new, I babyed this thing. Then all of a sudden the throttle starts to sputtering around 30mph, but the pedal assist still works and I start to get the #4 error. Before I get home the #30 errors pops up. I get hone look at all connections. Everything is perfect. I never got it wet, never jumped it, never abused it. So I keep trying it out in the driveway, hoping to get it working, but the pedal assist won't even work now, then I get the #12 error then I got nothing. No power no screen no headlight, just the brake light. I call support and they hung up on me three times lied to me and never helped me. The next day I went out to play around with it, and now it powers on but no throttle no assist and when I try to pedal it the screen flickers on and off. What fucking 🍋. I am homicidal after this. What nerve, DO LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. For all who do know, This is a JUICED ebike hyperscrambler 2. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF SHIT!!
Please tell me the size of the tire because I tried to look at the internet but theirs to much sizes,thanks

Hello Old Man. Im just 68 years old. I have rode the tread off my Engwe Pro tires & heard these are a good shoe. Are these worth the cost? Are they quiet? I am tired of dogs chasing me. I don't like shooting dogs. Hood Rats not so much. I'm old, I'm not defenseless. Hope this finds you well.
S'up Tramp? Yea just get the Shinko 244's. awesome traction on pavement and gravel, They do have a rolling low hum, kida like jeeps with big knobby's on pavement. I like it, but I wear earbuds all the time. as far as the Dogs, use this once and you'll never have a problem again, easy to deploy and since your moving, its easy to hit the dog and avoid friendly spray.

No reason to really use the camera for these videos unless you want that amazing REAL bokeh, phone/GoPro cheaper to replace. That's been one of my biggest fears is dropping my lens. I rode a electric unicycle with 7k in my hand 🤦♂️

You need the tire irons to to get the original tire off.
No you don't! With a wire cutter you can cut the bead then use a utility knife. After all, they old tires were 💩 when they were new.

Why does everything suck?
Anyone know the brand of the wheel ?
Them tires would look good on my bike. How well do they perform in snow
Snow they are good, need spikes to stop on ice or hard packed. The lugs ar thick enough to screw in some 3/8" metal framing screws
Will these upgraded tires work on the Ariel Rider Grizzly? Also will this tube work with the tire? IRC Standard Motorcycle Tube 2.75/3.00-16 Tr4 Straight Metal Valve Stem - Center
Yes & Yes, since they are MC tires and not bicycle tires they go by rim size, but never assume go measure your rim diameter, should be 16"
@@UncleFjester Should be good. thank you sir! I will stock up while I can before the stock market crashes.
@@UncleFjester regarding the kenda inner tubes, the stem comes with 2 nuts. Do I position them on each side of the rim (one under the the rim and the 2nd outside of rim?)
Thats what I would do, It will keep you from pushing the valve into the tube or from pulling out of the rim
Balance wheels ?
Keep truckin
Will these tires work on juiced city scrambler??
YES!

16 x 3 Shinko 244 or 241
The rim is 16" and they only make one 16"
What is the model number of this tire and tube information I love it better than the slick tires so not safe. Did you buy it on amazon? Are these tires puncture resistant
link to the tire is always in the description
No such thing as puncture resistant, except for my wife,
Do you have any recommendations for slick tires on the hyperscorpion? I use it to commute on the street and bike paths in nyc.
No, But others may...
Was that a Harborfreight paint brush? I have some of those same brushes....LOL!
I use that for washing & Detailing my cars
I just got a set of these Shinko 244 they were super easy to install. The hardest part was getting the old peace of crap tires off first. The soapy water sure did help lube up the tire and rim. Also it’s a pain to get the back tire back on the bike cause the rear is very heavy with the motor,rim,tire. Getting the chain on has alway been a pain even on normal bikes but with this bike and probably all e bikes you have to worry about the center locking washers on the rear axle.
Having an assistant could help too! Enjoy the 244's

Was that just a filter that broke that you had on the front of the lens I hope...Damn that sucks. Go Pro and your phone would probably be more than good for youtube.
GoPro & iPhone better be good enough. Most of the damage was to the lens hood & Filter. I had to use a hack saw to remove the filter and I have some damage to the front element glass🤬
@@UncleFjester from what I see on line you will be fine. As long as the content is good the quality of the video really does not matter. Plus 1080p is all you need, 4k ain't worth all the time and memory it takes to edit and most people do not have 4 k monitors and when you are watching on your phone or tablet youtube scales all that shit down anyways. Unless your shit was on the big screen at the movies you will be fine. Also some wire cutters will cut/nibble through that filter ring and then you can peel it out of the lens hood.
