A TPU tire that goes on a Evolve-style two piece rim may be an interesting future project. There are many people out there with similar rim systems that may be sick of getting flats.
If you wanted a larger rim system to be more optimal, it would be best to use a wider rim like the one from Tomiboi. Hubba-hubs
The other alternative is to make your own.
I want to know about high G turns too. I love carving hard. If a tire canât turn pretty hard, it is not very valuable to me.
The concern there would be it getting a good seat on the hub to ensure the hub doesnât just spin in the tire. IIRC this is an issue for some of the solid urethane sleeves for pneumatic hubs, and would likely be an even more difficult issue on a non solid TPU tire sleeve.
I am thinking a TPU tire-specific rim would probably be the best idea.
I designed these wheels more for comfortable riding and long commutes, I actually donât recommend it for racing competitions for example. But that will be for the future. These are wheels are perfect for those of you who want comfortable wheels that can go over bad roads and have great traction on light offroad conditions. I personally need this type of wheel and why I developed it that way.
But I am going to develop wheels eventually using softer material, it will cost a ton more so I wanted to develop wheels with filaments that are affordable such as 95a tpu which is only 27 bucks a kg and much cheaper in bulk.
My latest commute:
How difficult would it be to make a version with no tread or just the no sideways tread?
Pretty easy just remove treads in fusion360. Literally 1 second job.
I am watching your video right now. The noise is not too bad. At least people can hear you coming.
Yeah these wheels are loud, I think from the treads.
Howâs the braking performance? Do you skid much?
Braking is really good, tiny skid only stopping hard from top speed.
few donuts and 95A TPU tires get hot/soft they pop right outta the cores 
thatâs the problem 
HEAT DISSIPATION
compressing/stretching infill while rolling creates so much heat even rims melt:
Partial infill vs solid
No choice but use solid ones now:
Massive tires disperse heat preventing melting⌠even with 83A TPE like these
but hey, if partial infill tires work on cold/temperate climate regions⌠Woot, woot 
thatâs something already
Letâs melt them real quick 
eSun 95A TPU vs iWonder Cloudwheel
HAHA, I also donât brake without powersliding urethane pops out of the cores but doing it switch pop it back in 
which is something printed wheels need even professional ones lack sometimes⌠the spoked core:
Yeah, sometimes superglue is more important than even skate tool 
Bruv, why bother with urethane when you can skate bare metal 
62/22 bearings loctiteâd over the 608âs nose ones to match
not just money, but time⌠softer filament slower prints. 83A on a bowden at 35mm/sec gotta count days instead of hours
At first I thought you were quoting my post where I melted plastic pulleys. Didnât expect it to be about my old hub motors. The sleeves are still glue together/on but I havenât used them in a while because bumpy dying hub motors are very uncomfortable.
Melted pulleys look like this btw
Iâm still riding a set of he 127mm for commuting. They have been holding up ok. They were never true to begin with.
Anyone else riding these wheels? Anyone heard from Dr. E?
Sorry those are NOT MY wheels, my wheels come with ABS cores and tpu tires and they dont fall apart like those. Please start your own thread for YOUR OWN wheels, instead of putting it here. Thank you so muchy. 
Hello Dr. E,
I like to say that i love the fact you made 3d printed wheels a reality.
Even âifâ there is trouble somehow left to solve, i totally love your work and wish you lots of succes with whatever invention and discovery you make.
Im still one of those who are sceptical, but thats more a good sign for you to proof us wrong.
So keep up inventing and keep up the good work.
This is so inspiring.
Maybe a shoelace with superglue and soda powder supa dupa blastic bottle chips, and grains of chewing gum and stuff like that.
Beautiful ladys nylons would be my first try. Ohhh Yes.
Edit: whats keeping me sleepless all night long is the miracle that you were able to waste the motor Pu that much without breaking the truck and/or motor mounting itself. I can feel the amount of vibration of the board from over here.
No truck can withstand that forces for very long.
Wheels going strong after almost a year yes, I just havenât found enough time to keep developing but they work great and sturdy as is with abs cores and tpu tires.
