Everybody shit talks about the "welds". Who thinks xiaomi m365 and the rest where build for that full tire? Some of you are truly talking s... That's a crack that took alot of small holes and maybe jumps. The tire doesn't have anything to rebound. Using that kind of tire needs a monorim suspension. Ever think of that? You have a full sturdy motor wheel, a stem and a weld. What is the first thing that takes stress on jumps and bumps? Think people, think. "no Karen, just logic"

It’s very likely that an unnoticed crack formed from very hard riding (or just bad luck), and then further compromised as the crack grew. Clones are cheaper because the materials used are usually lower quality.

But yes. It is probably a design flaw with solid tyres and lack of proper suspension with a weak metal that led to it.
