Tires

[webfooted]

I am building an electric barstool for my firstattempt and now I am now down to the tires and rims. First off I love the fat tire look of the BSR pictured. Does anyone know what size they are and where to get them from?? Terry

Hey Webfooted,

The information on the tires and rims I used can be found in this thread:

I am using the drive unit out of one of those 3 wheeled carts old people drive. Figure the top speed to be 6 to seven MPH. Will be great for the grandkids. Next on the agenda is a five HP with Comet drive for me. Then I have a Honda 70 w/electric start to build a tandum two seater out of. 4 speed and all. You guys should have never showed me the first one. You woke up a monster.:D....Terry

I am a new member but not new to this insanity. In response to your electric BSR I have a wagon. It is aluminum diamond tread plate with kart tires, 875watt 4 pole scooter transaxle, wheelchair gel cell batteries, Curtis Instruments programmable controller and variable speed throttle pot. I take it to auto swap meets and such to haul parts. I have ridden it ( sitting in it like a kid ) for several weeks around the neighborhood without recharging and I have logged on the ( bicycle speedo / odometer ) 25 miles total before recharging It ran @ 8mph for the first 7miles then as the battery voltage settles down it was @ 6 mph and 22 volts. I may be able to share some good stuff on this subject including fabrication and wheel mounting bushing designs. I have obtained wheels and tires from several sources from cheap to new and reasonable. Good Luck
