Everytime its from a stand still on flat ground and giving it average throttle, not w.o.t. I ease into the throttle normally. It is def not punctures, more like pinch flats. Too many flats. I believe its from the tire rotating in the rim, as the tube itself stays with the rim because of the valve.
Pictures - The blue is where I got the flat. In the case of the first pic, its the usual sidewalk ramp that is angled as shown in blue, and I got the flat powering up a little bit from the middle of the crosswalk, felt flat at 2nd ramp, half flat halfway up to next corner, full flat a few feet after that.
Second pic I was at a little bit of an incline, stopped, feet off ground, hand on pole, pushed off which didnt help much if any. Felt something not right and fast flat by other side of road.
Brand spanking new Continental tube, brand new tire.
400lbs, plus bike, + mxus 3kw motor (rear), + 15S8P Liion battery, all in 26" Crystalyte rim, hksunwin controller, 61V full, LVC at 41V. Townie 21D bike, feet forward design, so all the weight is on the rear wheel. Rim is smooth, used brand new rim tape, double wall rim is very deep, spokes are tight. Inspection of all the flats always looks like pinch flat. Installation of tube, has always been double checked, last 10 flats were all triple checked and checked again. Total number of flats, I am embarrassed to say

I was planning to go 16 x 1.60 motorcycle rim and Shinko 244 which is 3.0 but that might not solve the issue, because I gain more torque going from 26" bicycle to 16" moto.
Do you guys think 2WD where if I am stopped, I use front motor, then cruising use rear.
Trucks can use bead lock Never seen that with motorcycles or bicycles.
