Also, bigger tire usually means faster speed on an electric bike. Smaller tires usually mean longer range. You can increase your range sometimes up to about 8 miles more just by going to a smaller tire. Like a 26" to a 20". There is a point at which if the tire is too big for the motor to spin easily then it can diminish your results.

Going to a smaller tire though decreases your speed though. And going to a bigger tire will decrease your range so there is trade-offs.
