I am a big Rad fan and I have posted a lot.

But, what you suggest is so complicated and expensive - and would void your warranty.  And what if the power hub stops working?  Who is going to help you.  It seems it would be better just to buy another bike with 24 inch wheels or 20 inch wheels if that is your concern.

I've often wonder why 22 inch wheels were chosen.

I don't disagree that it is complicated and expensive, but with the cost of alternative bikes in Canada, it seems like it might be worth a shot? The RW4 set up for kids is just over $3,000 here. Something like and Xtracycle, Yuba or Surly is more than double the price.

I agree on the decision for 22 inch wheels. I struggle to see how that was a good choice by any measure.

I've read a few things about people suggesting that a 24" wheel/tire conversion is a possible path to increased tire availability, specifically for winter/studded tires. My Radwagon arrives next week and I'm pretty committed to figuring something out that will allow me to ride all winter. From what I've been able to gather, going from a 22x3 tire to a 24x1.9 will result in nearly identical overall diameters. There seems to be good tire availability in 24x1.75, which is slightly smaller overall.
Most 24" rims seem to be intended for BMX use. My LBS mechanic suggested these as a good/strong option, but I'm concerned about the overall weight of the RW4, me and two kids.

Does anyone know of a 24" 36 hole rim intended for cargo/e-bike use? Has anyone actually done this yet with good results? I'm determined to find a way to ride the RW4 year round!
