So.
Mixing it up a little.
Someday I will actually complete it the build on “The Other Carver” with the Flux deck.
So I thought I would do something a bit different with the Haero and got some little tires to go on there.

They look pretty cool right.
I had the highest possible gearing going with the Kendas.
12/72
And I liked it. A bit of belt skipping here and there. But overall pretty good.
Still horrible range at 17 miles or so with really just 14 good ones…
Soooo I thought the smaller tires would do better on range even if I geared down…
So I went 15/72 with the 155s.
Which still resulted in a lower top speed.
But gearing went from 6 to 4.8…
Well.
The smaller tires felt pretty good but low and behold my range was actually worse.
Funny science shit…
I was getting 31 wh/mile on 12/72 200s
Went to 38 wh/mile on 15/72 155s
I really did not see that coming…
I actually expected it to go the other way.
So last night I changed the pulleys to 14.
Let’s see what I get out of 14/72 on the 155s
Will it be better mileage than the Kendas?
That would be great.
I like the little tires.
But I also like the Kendas. And they are cheaper…
