Advantages of Using Integrated Wheel
The main material of the body wheels is magnesium alloy or carbon fiber. It is heavier than spoke wheels and has greater inertia, which is conducive to fast riding. It is used to pursue speed on flat roads and is suitable for professional racing competitions. In addition, what are the advantages of integrated wheels?
1. One-piece wheel is a bearing rotating structure, which rotates very smoothly. 2. The stability is very good. In the riding process, the one-piece wheel is not easy to swing and does not need to be debugged. 3. Large inertia, suitable for racing competitions. To sum up, if you have any supplements, please leave messages, and we will answer them for you at the first time. |
I didn't think alloy wheels were that much heavier than spoked wheels but if more inertia is a feature, get them out of here. That's the last thing I want in my bike wheels.

Every article on handling of bikes, motorcycles etc that I've ever read, if it mentions the subject of unsprung weight, decries any additional weight as a negative influence to suspension performance, steering precision and every aspect of comfort and handling on a bike.

It still depends on the type of riding you do.
If performance riding is what you do, looking to save every ounce of (rotational) weight; cast alloy wheels may not be the best suited for your purpose. If you're looking for strong wheels that require minimal (wheel) maintenance and your riding is casual; cast (alloy) wheels may last you a long long time without worry. Right tool for the right job. |
Even for the most casual riding, any excess weight (especially in the wheels) deters from my enjoyment since it influences steering, magnifies every road imperfection and makes the cumbersome behemoth less enjoyable. I'm not talking about needing to be a weight weenie, just normal components. Of course maybe it's a big plus on the roller skating rink.

You mean like suspension components that are basically a stiff spring that controls input like a Pogo stick? Walmart is full of them.

So are you here trying to spam or what? The posts you make while not actually selling anything are always odd. It is not really something to spark debate more just a sales pitch without a direct link to product.
For those looking spokes are handy. Being able to true a wheel is quite useful whereas a one piece wheel has to be made precisely otherwise it is a good boat anchor (potentially) and not useful as a wheel. |
Just no.

its like trying to sell a yugo to someone that owns a Porsche

Doesn't this go against the rules of the forum about advertising? Also, look at the site (that's what the posts are aiming for, obviously); there's no questions needed about those bikes. Time for the ignore function to be used.

Contact "us"? Why would multiple people need one account. Shortcomings are different from advertising.

Thank you very much for your reply. Sorry for your misunderstanding, "we" here not only refers to my account, but refers to all accounts that you can see. And will pay attention to my words in the future. I wish you a happy day.
Have a great new year! |

Plus those solid wheels tend to be very cheaply made thats why you see them on such low end e bikes.

Topic of thread is: Advantages of Using Integrated Wheel.
How many posts actually provide info about topic of thread? I'd like to think threads in this forum are informative and related to topic of thread. I have used ebikes with cast wheels, I do find there are advantages to the usage of cast wheels over spoked wheels. The cast wheels application on ebikes may not suit performance type cycling, but would a performance oriented cyclist really want to have lightweight wheels on a ebike with weight penalty of motor & battery? For people who just want reliable wheels, minimal maintenance; they offer good alternatives to spoked wheels. With the extra weight penalty factor in ebikes (vs regular bicycles) in general, weight of cast wheels really is not significant when you consider the weight of motor and battery. With extra power output & weight of ebikes (vs regular bicycles), stronger (cast) wheels are really more ideal than (cheap) spoked wheels. |
Electric or not, I can feel the weight of a steel rim or a heavy 4" wide tire, when riding. They're harder to pedal, and need more electrical power to help out.

Who said cast wheels are stronger? Why would anyone on any bike for any purpose want a feature that is less safe, less comfortable, detracts from handling and can't be repaired? These were the issues discussed, but in addition, some responses rightfully addressed the question of whether the OP was trying to promote its business since the screen name is the name of a company.

Just how exactly do you consider a cast wheel to be less safe, less comfortable and detract from handling? Millions of cars & motorcycles have cast wheels, if they are in deed, as you said; less safe, less comfortable and detract from handling; wouldn't they have gone obsolete a long time ago? Regardless of OP's screen name, the thread title clearly indicate the thread topic, do you have anything to contribute or related to thread topic? |

You are so nice thank you for that but I am still curious are you just a random person or do you work for a company that is trying to sell a e-bike brand.

Who knows if cast wheels are stronger or necessary? How does it evade you that my comments are related directly to the subject of "advantages", just because there are none? Just because the pieces of junk you ride are adequate for the NY urban environment doesn't imply they're anything but boat anchors with motors. DONE! Rant on.

Plenty of spoked wheels that may be lightweight, but trash when it comes to durability. Can you specify the 'piece of junk' that I ride? have you ridden it yourself to give a decent comparison? Do you even know what kind of riding I am doing with my 'piece of junk'? When you can't provide specific comparison but have to reduce to personal insult of OP's name or my riding equipment; that's really sad if you consider it as 'rant'. |
