Hi i was wondering if you can use a 26x3 tire on 26x2.125 wheel without any issues? And if people have post them up. Thanks!

should be fine.

should be fine.

Okay. And also i plan on using a friction drive bike engine kit. would that be a bad idea or no?

Should fit the rim fine. The frame could be another story.

Frame can support a tire size up to 3" But what about the friction drive motor, will that cause a issue with the wheel/tire combo?

Got any pictures of the mounting system?

 

[lowrider840]

not my bike but this is exactly how it mounts.

Hey lowrider,
If you were mounting the engine in the center of the frame and using a chain drive then you could have clearance issues between the chain/tire/frame. Since you're using a friction drive setup I think you'd be ok.

Looks to me like it ought to work.
