How much does it weigh ?Can you say how it rides compared to a 'road' style tandem ?Have you tried road type tires like Conti Gatorskins (26") ?Thx

I'm not sure about the weight but it is not heavy. I rides stiff due to the length but otherwise nice. It has standard mountain like tire which are good.

Well its not light be we love it. We have two. I need off road tires so I have never used other tires.

It's light, but I think it may be too long to ride with it on your back. I would be afraid it might be too close to the tires

My Scootie is 87 lbs. Max 250 lbs person to ride this. I have mine for almost a year. Bumpy on some parts, great on smooth road and inside house/carpet/linoleum, etc. Very easy to maneuver. Took it to grocery stores, road, etc. Clearance is very low. Tires are not inflatable. Comes with anti tipping at the back. Not for people who need more support on their neck due to the lightweight chair.

For me, 25mm provides a better ride. I also inflate them to a lower psi than what is recommended. I run the rear tire at 90 psi and the front at 90psi. I think that set up provides me a better ride especially on roads that have been chip sealed. Mike

I've read that I weighs 29lbs. Not a lightweight bike. You can save some weight by putting 700x23 tires and some carbon components.

Hello Yes I have bought this tire when I was in the states , It a OK street tire , I would classify it as a low to mid range tire , If you inter to only be on the street , and you are 200 lbs or less I would look else where , because of the knobs it has a bit more drag hope this helps

They are great travel tires, but have a slight resistance to rolling. The best use would be for someone that rides pavement in rain frequently, since they have freakish grip in the rain. Try out Vittoria's Randonneur Pro or the newer replacement tire, they are much faster rolling and I found them to have better grip on gravel and dirt. Very plush ride, and they cost about half as much :o

it is a fairly stiff tire. Not heavy, but built for rough terrain. I ride them on roads close to the beach, full of shell shards, stickers, etc. After many months of use, I have not had a problem with flats. Stiff, not flexible at all.

Yeah it would be great for a daily commute bike, has the rear tie bar which you can mount a basket. The only thing I fear is the tire it is easy to get flat tire since it is not thick. This is from my experience riding in an area filled with thorns. Maybe for a commute consider the toughness of the tires so you can spare yourself the hassle of a flat tire. I like the bike overall, if it is for commute in the city like if you are a school student, than this bike would be ideal. Like if you go to college and you have a hard time finding parking. You can put the bike in the trunk and park farther and ride it. Yeah it would be great for a daily commute bike, has the rear tie bar which you can mount a basket.

I carried my sportster 1200 at around 600 lbs and it bent the platform and the front tire bracket. Maybe I didn't have it set up right, but I will not be putting a heavy street bike back in it. Bike stayed secure and it was a 1300 mile trip, but still not worth the risk in my opinion.

With my 12 ft. SOT the wide tires work fine on the hard pack along Florida's Atlantic, and in shallow loose pack. If it is in loose pack where the wheels sink more than about 3 inches, I think you would want something with larger diameter wheels.

The Small tires are Tippy on Uneven ground/Trail. You'd be better off find a cart with Large wheels. They are plenty strong enough to handle the weight/load but like I said, Small Wheels are made for concrete etc.,

IMHO it corners better than any tire I've ever had except for maybe a Minion DH. I ride mostly hardpack with some rocks and roots, and usually dry conditions. I consider it an excellent front tire and an average rear tire.

Hey Will, just wondering if you bought this bike and successfully put 32's on the bike? I just saw my friends tires and 23's are way too skinny! Not to mention I'd bet you'd feel EVERY piece of dirt. I'd like to know before I commit.

19-20 lbs. yea, it is pretty tough to ride at first. Practice riding in a doorway. Also look ahead when riding , if you look down at the front tire, it gets very hard to stay balanced.

hello, i often ride 20-30 miles a day in good weather, i changed and customized my overdrive for my style of riding, a comfy seat, metal pedals, a more street friendly tire. A note though, if you plan on adding a rack and bag to the rear in in for a challenge as there are no braze on's to attach anything to. Fugi makes a nice 29er with 30 speeds, and Haro was my 1st choise but i didn't like the guy selling them.
