hi guys, the scooter i want to get is the icebear bandit 50cc. it has the 90/90/12 tires on it. can i change over to the 120/70/12 tires?was going to go with the kendas they look a lot beefyer and would be a lot better for the kind of riding ill be doing.thought id ask you guys befor i did anything.the only plastic on the bandit is the battery box and its under the handlebars.thank you for all the help.and can i use the rimes that came with the scooter?

I don't think you'll be able to use 120/70-12 tires on there. The front forks look just wide enough to fit the 90/90-12 from the pics I'm finding. Maybe the rear would work, because the 120/70-12 and 90/90-12 are similar heights. I would suggest waiting till you have it to see if there's clearance for a 30mm (almost 1 3/16") wider tire. If not having wide tires is a deal-breaker, you may need to go check one out at a dealer or look at other models unless someone else has a better answer.

Hi 90.the one sit I was looking at says they have them with the 120s it just depends on what batch they get sent.im about #250 would the 90s be ok for me.im in a small town.so no off roading.

I'm about 300# and I've got a scoot with 90/90-10s (even smaller diameter, same width) that I put plenty of miles on up to about 60MPH.

No problem. Getting better, slowly but surely. Glad to be walking/limping around without a cane at this point, but it's probably going to be quite a while before it doesn't hurt or swell and has full strength. I post periodic updates in the thread below. Thank you for asking.
