Title: cursor wheel size
Post by: Bob Purton on March 17, 2008, 09:30:17 AM

What size wheels does a cursor run on, eight or ten inches? There is conflicting info out there and we are talking about the production model. Can anyone educate us please? I always thought it was eight but there is a bit of blurb on the net saying ten.

ive only seen one,and from memory it was 8 inch,in fact it seems somewhat unfeasible that it would have 10 inch,and i think that the scooter that the engine and drive system came from would have had 8" too.

The wheels were 8 inch wheels as the front wheels and tyres were from the trailer wheel's that you see on the road today.
However I fitted a smaller rear tyre onto the 2 seater Cursor which improved the speed.
The rear tyre had to be very hard just like the messerscmidt rear tyre as you used to get a bid of a wander from the rear as you were driving along in a straight line.
