    I have the standard 83 mm street wheels but I'm thinking which benefits has a larger wheel like 90 or 97 mm. I don't want to increase speed, only confortability and range.

    Thanks

    97 all the way, more grip and rolls over most things! Best wheels out of the street range imo :heart: them!!

    No significant range increase or decrease in acceleration but a few more mph top end ;)

    Evolve told me that I will lose some range with 97mm wheels but not how much. Any ideas? Sometimes I will need around 30km (18,6 miles) range (mostly flat) if I can't charge between my commutes. Just like firewire I don't need more fullspeed, just more safty and comfort. If it's possible to drive over most curbs with the 97mm wheels they are almost a must buy for me.

    @Mr smith5000 - I don't know the best place but Evolve Germany has them on stock.

    You will have to scour Europe for them no where in uk has last time I looked. Ended up buying from Oz with fair whack of import tax :confused:
