Which tyres do you ride on your ebike?

You are 100% correct.

 

Very sad that the bike shop did not take the time to set up the bike at delivery..... at least it sounds like they did not.

I don't want to get into the bike shop issues, because I think they're a decent setup and get reviews for service etc. They probably just let mine slip through the cracks. I'll continue to use them.

Share your setup then. Height, weight etc. You can lol all you want, but tyres are one part of the equation. That bike runs possibly the worst fork ever made as well as a very basic shock. If the pressure and sag aren’t correct then new tyres will do bugger all to help

@Razor1972 you’ve come here wanting answers, but you’ve not shared any of the important information that’s needed for us to help you.

Or have you simply decided “Ah, another guy (in this case @Simon123) also said they’re crap so they must be” because you came here with your mind already made up but just wanting us to reinforce that? 

No man, let’s talk about the facts and get you sorted.

That sounds like a porky pie to me

Maybe I'm just too slow? 🤣 Maybe late 90's DH I dinged a Mvic D321 or something, but cannot remember a ding in the past 20 years.

But you touched on bad susp on the original poster's bike.   This is a good point too.   But even lately with Fox Factory suspension on my bikes - I've found tyre pressures to make the biggest "feel good" difference (assuming we also have suspension properly set up or as close to as).

Someone recommended these:  https://www.takealot.com/sks-tyre-pressure-sensor-for-bicycles-airspy-sv-set-of-2/PLID70964465   (cheaper than Tyre Wiz)  and if they didn't look so ugly, I'd probably give them a bash.

Well worth speaking to them.  Ask them to check the bike out, from setup to tyres ...

 

Maybe just a small setting issue ...

 

With any luck they agree that it is the tyres, and you can move on ...
