Choosing tires and wheels for your cargo bike
When selecting tires and wheels for your cargo bike, consider how you typically use the bike. Durable tires with low rolling resistance are often sufficient for city riding, while gravel or forest trails may require wider, treaded tires. Wheel mounting and hub components must match your frame’s specifications, so check axle length and rim width before purchasing.
Installation and handling
Installing new tires and wheels on a cargo bike requires basic tools like tire levers and a torque wrench. Remove the old tires, clean the rims thoroughly, and mount the new tires in the correct direction. Tighten the wheel nuts or thru-axle according to manufacturer recommendations and verify that the wheel spins freely without play.
Maintenance tips
To maintain stability and grip on your Cargobike cargo bike, check tire pressure regularly, ideally every two weeks. Proper inflation reduces puncture risk and improves ride comfort and range. Inspect tread depth during cleaning and replace tires before they become too worn. Rotate wheels when possible to ensure even wear.
