If you read our recent article on the NANROBOT Lightning, then you're most likely already aware of all the standout features that make the Lightning a one-in-town scooter, particularly for urban and city-commuting. So, this time, we want to shed more light on a recurrent question asked by our beloved customers - "Why did we use the wide solid tires to Nanrobot Lightning." If you've also wondered about this question, this article will help you understand why we used wide solid tires for the electric scooter.
What are Solid Tires
First of all, what are solid tires? Solid tires, also known as airless tires, are one of the best types of tires used by vehicles. They are manufactured using some specific types of unique rubber compounds and processes. Depending on the kind of vehicle, solid tires can either be manufactured on a frame or metal wheel structure and then installed on the vehicle. They are then rolled into a thin rubber layer on the metal frame support and compressed by the hydraulic system. This process hardens the shape and makes the rubber material highly durable.
It should be noted that the thickness of the rubber material depends on the application of the tire and the types/sizes of wheels attached to the vehicle. One major reason vehicle manufacturers, including electrical scooter manufacturers, opt for wide solid tires is that they proclaim structural integrity and durability.
Understanding Nanrobot Lightning's Wide Solid Tires
The Nanrobot Lightning electric scooter is equipped with 8-inch solid tires. With a 3.55-inch width, the tires are much wider than the regular scooters out there. The superior rubber material used to manufacture the NANROBOT Lightning's tires enables them to last much longer than the average tires, even with frequent usage. Of course, being wide solid tires, they ensure better side-slip angles, enabling them to provide greater cornering force. Additionally, they offer a smooth ride thanks to their shock-absorbing properties.
