BalorNG on October 16, 2025 6:37 am Average? :3 Those types of bents are not particularly fast, certainly not with tires like that. I also have an lwb, but tail-faired and with road bike tires, it is fairly fast, but not 25mph fast 🙂 https://preview.redd.it/9qindf7u5fvf1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a0c1b1064be8304199c0e7dd7d166b787b75250
