[Renegade Scooters]

Yeah.

Soon.




115MM

That would be so badass. But soooooo expensive?

They will be more expensive but will be a performance and quality part so it goes hand in hand...

It would look cool, and it would be a little lighter, but i can't see it being worth it.

Why not?

carbon fiber has a tendency to shatter. So do not make spoked wheels.

because metal cores to the job just fine aside from the occasional ovalizing which i havent had any problems with on any wheels recently. i mean if it could be that much stronger and it wouldnt ovalize i guess it would be a good thing but i can't see people paying more than 50 bucks for a wheel (idk how much they will cost but im assuming it would be fairly expensive.)

They arent going to be spoked and we are trying to find the supplier for this really impressive material... Its multi layered carbon fiber and then it has a super thin wrap of titanium mesh in the resin. Crazy stuff. But that would bring the wheels up to probably 300-400 a pair or more.

Please, I say this to help you. Do not make wheels that are that expensive. You will only lose money and I don't want that to happen

holy crap. i mean, i happy that someone is trying something different but jesus christ thats a lot of money for wheels lol. the urethane would have to last like 5 years for it to be worth it.

We arent gonig to make them over 150 a pair and we are looking in to different materials instead of urethane. I dont think that scooter riders should have to have only one option. T^here should be more options..

What materials? and 150 isnt too bad, it's a lot but if it's worth it...

Have fun wasting money. 100 for phoenix wheels is a lot. 150 for anything is over the top

also some forks are high tolerance and wont fit 115mm. like phorx
