Kenda Konversion Pro K1079 20x1.95 tire for the eGO Cycle electric scooter. The original Kikzumbut model tire has been discontinued by Kenda and the replacement is this Kenda Konversion Pro K1079 tire.
This K1079 tire features an Iron Cap Belt which both allows the tire to be rated as a 100 PSI tire as well as reduces your chances of getting a flat tire. It also has a Dual Tread Compound (DTC) to provide extra traction when you need it in turns. Kenda has reduced the weight of the tire by using a folding Aramid bead. This tire increases the TPI to 120 (Threads Per Inch).
Installation Note: There is an arrow on the sidewall and the tire should be mounted with the arrow pointing in the direction of travel.
Section from the eGO owner's manual regarding tire pressure: eGO Cycle tires operate in a pressure range. The maximum pressure is 100 PSI. The minimum pressure is 60 PSI. Tires at maximum pressure will provide superior handling characteristics, very little rolling resistance, and a longer range but will not provide much cushioning on bumpy or uneven surfaces. Tires at minimum pressure provide a softer ride, are more susceptible to flats, and create more rolling resistance thus reducing the riding range. If you want a really efficient and high-performance (but bumpy) ride, or if you’re a large person, keep the tires inflated to their maximum pressure. If you want a smoother but less efficient ride, inflate your tires to about 60 PSI. (Warning: Only inflate the tire to 60-100 PSI if the tire is rated for it. Read the PSI rating on the side of the tire before inflating.)
Old part number: 610-1004
