Answer
That is cool! Good for him. Gas or electric?
I have built a few with lawn mower engines and Mongoose kick scooters. They are a blast.


I do not know about Canada, but in California any motorized scooter (has to have a scooter kick plate....place to stand up) that does not exceed 15mph may be ridden in the bike lane without a license.

Where in Canada can I buy a 28 inch motorcycle rim?

Ian

I need a rim only and can have it shipped or I can buy it in Toronto (where I live)
nope, i mean 28 inch. I have an electric road bike and want to upgrade the wheel strength.
Cool, didnt know I was asking for something that rediculous lol. guess ill have to go with a really strong bike rim.

Answer
Motorcycle rim or bicycle rim? you noted electric road bike and the ones I've seen locally are large bicycles. As a bicycle rim- the 28 inch is available for 2.25/2.50 wide tires and a Raleigh(?) rim width shows as use able for a 3 inch commercial tire. Trek has a 28 inch on the 'large' adult cruiser cycles and three wheelers. check Raleigh dealer for that size 'postal/police' rim meant for the hard users, commercial rough road users. 36 spokes needed about 10 gauge? 40 spokes?
Huffy has 'large' rim 28 inch also with 40 spokes. Motorcycle rims with 28 inch -- now your talking pre WW2 antiques like Excelsiors and early Indians.
