These look like a great replacement for the Kenda's,  What size shinco fits my 2021 Radrover 26 x 4.0.
   (Preferably a dual sport)

To the best of my knowledge there is not a motorcycle that fits the Rovers someone else who is a tire Guru and sells tires said they don't exist

The motor cycle tire are 16x3.  But even at 3 inches they are wider than the CST big boats ( 3 inches wide) that shipped with our Rads.
The Shinkos are great we love them no more flat anxiety.  In full disclosure they are about 10lb heavier than the stock tires and they are a bit taller.  You can tell a slight difference when you start off and going up hills.  This is because of the weight and height.  I weigh about 235 and we just rode 30 miles and only used 2 bars of battery on mostly flat with 15 miles of 20mph head wind using PAS 2 and a little PAS 3, so for me the range has not been significantly impacted either. I highly recommend these they check all of my boxes but you might be looking for different things.   I wanted tires that would be far less likely to get a flat, the 1st time I rode  off of the pavement for about 50' I got 2 flats from simple sand burrs,  I wanted tires that were more sure footed for riding in loose gravel and on dirt trails,  Most mountain bikes that have any type of aggressive tread hum when on pavement that was also an issue for us, the motorcycle tires are whisper quiet, they are much heavier duty and I don't expect to ever have an issue with flats, they are much more sure footed on gravel or loose dirt tracks, and they are also very good on wet pavement whereas the Mountain bicycle tires are not nearly as good on wet payment They check all my boxes.  But,  I like my steaks medium rare not everyone does some people like their stakes well done.  Here is the link.

SR241 Shinko - Amazon

Which Shinko size fits on a Mini 4 wheel that is meant for a 20" x 3-4" tire?

Shinko's look like a great option, but I don't understand their sizing. I've got a Mini 4 that shipped with the 20x3 CST Big Bloat tires that blow. I upgraded a 20x4" Mongoose tire that does well (with Tannus), but I think the middle ground of a 20x3.5 or 3.3" tire would be exactly what I need.

When I bought the Mongoose, they were labelled 20x4. Shinko has a 3.5 tire, but I can't tell what the diameter is supposed to be. Shinko responded to me with the statement below.

Shino's response:
"Thank you for contacting Shinko Tire USA. There has not been a conversation yet to offer Shinko Tires in the sizes you have listed suitable for Ebikes. We always appreciate suggestions to help us keep an eye on the market and the needs and wants of our valued customers."

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Motorcycle tires are sized different than bicycle tires and are based on the size of the wheel.  Bicycle tires are based on the outside diameter of the tire. I have these on my Mini 4 and my Mini St they are fantastic tires.  These are the tires you're looking for.

Flatout much better than slime,, the big boat CSTs that now come stock are very thin and even just a plain old sand burr sticker has caused me flats otoss in one more thing n both tires.  Here is a video show how good this stuff is:

Helmet, the Sena Blutooth intercom is fabulous no more yelling g between the wife and on to hear or be heard.  I ordered mine directly from Sena but can also get them at Amazon. Sena M1 / M1 EVO Smart Communications Mountain Bike Helmets https://amzn.to/3hetgB1

Since you mention fishing I'll toss in one more set of upgrades.  Search shinko sr244 or sr241 in the Rad mini FB group.  These are motor cycle tire that fit the mini and I have them for both my bikes...just have not had the time to put them on but several others have. I also got corresponding motor cycle tubes.

hello

me over 60 y, was looking at getting radmini ST (step-thru), then kind of fell thru spiral thinking.

question is, is it for women ?

i know it is an odd question, but yet want others thoughts.

-Rama

Many folks especially especially those who are older or have certain physical(like me stoke kind of messed up my right leg and foot) issues find the step through to be much easier to mount and dismount. The step thrus are no longer referred to or really even thought of as a girl's bike. That was old school.   Besides when you're riding a RAD  No one is going to think you are riding a girl's bike they are going to want to ask questions about what kind is it, how well does it ride on hills, how fast will it go, what is the range, how much was it,  do you like it...... things like that..... the aspect of it being a step through or potentially a girl's bike won't come up at least that's been my experience.

I've read somewhere that if you turn the power off the battery with your key while the controller display is still on, that it can cause the odometer to zero out.

School me if I'm wrong.  AFAIK there are only two ways to blank (turn off) the display.  One is to wait a period of time for it to clock out at idle and the other is to turn off the key.  Is there another?  I always turn off by key when I go in  a store or when I arrive home after a ride.  I haven't tried, but can you even remove the key while it remains in the ON position?  I thought I had to have the key in place to operate the bike.  Maybe that is wrong.  If that is an error procedure I never heard about it and it hasn't been an issue since day one.  Also, the RAD technician never questioned my procedures, just offered a replacement controller.

If you hold for a few seconds the same button that turns the bike on turns the bike turns off or at least turns the display off.

Yes you can take your key out while the bike battery is in the on position we never ride with our bikes in the battery.

I have also heard that if you turn the bike off with the key while the display is still on that the mileage reset set is more likely to occur.

I have a Rad  Mini v4 and my wife has the Mini ST and would like to replace the tires.Has anyone replaced the stock CST city tires with the knobbier Kenda K1167 ? My first choice would be the K-RAD 20x4 tire but supply issues seem never ending.I would welcome any other suggestions.

I also have 2 mini's,, a step through and step over. I'm quite disappointed in the stockm3 inch CST Big Boats, got two flats from common Sandhurst.  I've added flat out and that is working wonderfully.  I'm considering g a heavier tire.  A guy on the Rad Mini face book group has mounted motor cycle tires and tubes and that is what I'm going to do.  Here is the link to that thread.  I think it's will bea great upgrade. https://m.facebook.com/groups/629167654165317/permalink/1292091957872880/
