Description
London calling.
Smooth out those back-alley cobbles with the Schwalbe Big Ben E-Bike Tire. If it looks familiar to you, that's because it was designed as a chunkier version of Schwalbe's Big Apple, but this one can handle a little mixed terrain as well as being certified for the increased loads of E-bike motors. Its large volume soaks up bumps for a comfy ride wherever you are, and flats are prevented with a RaceGuard puncture protection belt under the tread.
Features a reflective sidewall for increased visibility from the side. 26" x 2.15". 67 EPI casing. Wire bead. Claimed weight is 760 g.

Reviews
First off I am a 67 yr old woman who had always ridden regular 26 or 27 bikes so when I was off my feet for a year and a half and my muscles were sadly lacking to ride again I bought an electric bike which worked out great to help me rebuild muscle while riding. However it came with no information on how to handle a flat tire. I had to watch you tube to figure it out - but there was no sizing only psi on the tire so after much wrong information from reviewers on a site and getting the wrong size and then wrong valve I started contacting customer support here. I was so happy with the responses that I recommended them one of the you tube sport for my brand of bike. Tires arrived today and fit perfectly! I have to say this is the only place I would go to buy from because they know their stuff! The tires look and feel so much nicer than pictured!
I took one star away only because Schwalbe offers a Big Ben Plus with better flat protection, and reinforced sidewalls. Of course this adds some weight. But for powerful E bikes or heavy cargo bikes probably worth it.
Some of the other reviewers here may want to try those next. For more normal cycling these would be an excellent choice.
I have these on my Stromer ST1. I have had pretty good luck with them. One set now has 2300 miles behind it, not a single puncture. They can handle a heavy loadIve carried a total load of 300 lbs. on rough city streets as well as bike trails and they are very (not totally) puncture proof. I hit a patch of glass shards and got a flat. I also had one with a sidewall split after 100 miles. They do grip and handle well.
