Unbroken Rear Wheel 2.0 - Pre Order (Not Sold Out)
Unbroken Rear Wheel 2.0 - Pre Order (Not Sold Out)
This is our new and improved heavy duty rear 26" pedicab wheel for a 1" axle. This pedicab wheel has been designed from the ground up to fully withstand the forces that an electric pedicab experiences.This pedicab wheel is 65mm wide to support wider tires (2.5" to 4") to better help cushion the impact of potholes on both the pedicab and its occupants.
The sidewalls and corners of the rim have been heavily reinforced and thickened to handle sideways forces and the spoke area is heavily reinforced. The hub is keyed for 1/8" and 1/4" to fit on a variety of pedicab axles. The wheel is 48 hole and is laced with 13 gauge to 14 gauge butted Sapim Strong spokes for strength and ease of maintenance. Our rim alone is 1757g which is over twice the weight of a Halo SAS rim. The strength of the rim will help keep the wheel aligned but it will still need normal maintenance.
As long as the wheel is properly tensioned and trued it will handle excessive pedicab loads much better and longer than lighter wheels would be able to. Our hubs have had the keyways made slightly larger to make it easier to install when brand new. Even so, the tolerances are very tight and there are many variables such as worn keyways and discrepancies in keys. You should expect to file all the edges of your key to not be square and to file the lips that form on the edge of the axle's keyway to allow for easier installation.
Note: BIGGER TIRES HAVE LOWER PSI. RUN 3" TIRES AT AROUND 40 PSI MAX, 2.5" TIRES AT AROUND 45 PSI MAX, AND 4" TIRES AT AROUND 35 PSI MAX Please allow 2 weeks for order processing.
