WHEELS

The front and rear wheels together are referred to as either the wheel set or simply wheels. They have a major influence on how the bicycle handles. That’s why it’s important to ensure that all parts of the wheel set are finely tuned to each other during manufacture of the bike. The wheel size is usually quoted in inches. This figure corresponds to the approximate outer circumference of the wheel including the tires. The correct size depends on the e-bike and the frame. For example, a 29” wheel will not fit into the frame of a 26” bicycle. It is often possible to retrofit to a larger front wheel, but you would have to fit a larger fork for this.
