Hello, I have an REI Co-Op e1.1 e-bike. I recently found out the hard way that its current tires are too thick (2.4in (6cm) ) for a bus bike rack (those one that go in front of the bus). Is it a good idea to change those tires to a thinner standard size, or is there a reason as to why it’s that thick?
I actually changed these to 2 inch wide tires with zero issues. The advantage of thicker tires is a smoother ride with the added cost of more weight (although on an ebike this is much less of a problem)
