How to Choose the Right Tire for Your Electric Scooter
Tires are your only contact with the road. They influence comfort, safety, speed, and grip.
1. Solid tires (without air)
Benefits :
No puncture possible
Zero maintenance
Perfect in dry urban environments
Disadvantages:
Less comfortable
Poor grip in the rain
Poor shock absorption
👉 Recommended for short journeys on smooth asphalt. Ex: GTXR Urban Lite series.
2. Pneumatic (air-filled) tires
Benefits :
Smooth and pleasant driving
Better traction
Excellent in the rain or on uneven roads
Disadvantages:
Risk of puncture
Require regular pressure monitoring
👉 Featured on most mid-range and high-end GTXR models.
3. Fat tires
Benefits :
Maximum stability
Excellent for dirt roads or mountains
Support heavy loads better
Disadvantages:
Heavier
Slightly slower acceleration
👉 The GTXR G50 is the perfect example of off-road performance.
4. Tire profile also matters
Smooth: perfect for dry asphalt
Notched: best on gravel or uneven paths
Grooved: ideal for draining water in the rain
GTXR equips each model with the tires best suited to their mission.
