It has 26"X1.75" MTB tires on it that really drag me down. I ride around 10 to 16 MPH. My Fastest speed was 26MPH down a bridge that is 2.75 miles across the Bay.
Thats great. You can get higher pressure slick (smooth) tires for it that will make it easier to pedal and give you more grip on corners. The buzz/vibration will also go away making for a much more pleasant street ride. You can swap between tires if you ever ride on trails.
