Vector Vortex 17-Inch Rear Wheel with Kenda K270 Tyre and Tube
The Vector Vortex Rear Wheel with Kenda K270 Tyre and Tube is a replacement wheel package intended for the Vector Vortex electric bike frame. It combines a black 17 × 1.6-inch aluminium rim, motorcycle-style rear hub, Kenda K270 17 × 4.6-inch tyre and matching inner tube.
Designed around the Vortex frame application, this package is worth considering when replacing an existing rear wheel or maintaining a compatible wheel-and-tyre setup. The included tyre and tube distinguish it from the supplier’s separately listed rear wheel without a tyre.

17 × 1.6-Inch Aluminium Rear Rim
The rear wheel features an aluminium rim measuring 17 inches in nominal diameter and 1.6 inches in width. These dimensions are important when evaluating tyre fitment and comparing the wheel with the original Vortex rear wheel.
The rim’s nominal diameter should not be confused with the outside diameter of the fitted tyre. The assembled wheel’s total diameter depends on the actual tyre dimensions.
Although aluminium construction is confirmed, the supplier does not specify the alloy grade, spoke count, rim profile or maximum permitted load.
Kenda K270 17 × 4.6-Inch Tyre Included
This package includes a Kenda K270 tyre in 17 × 4.6-inch sizing. The tyre is explicitly listed as part of the product rather than an optional accessory.
The tyre dimensions should be considered alongside the motorcycle’s available frame and suspension clearance, operating loads and intended riding conditions.
The original product page does not provide the tyre’s complete sidewall specifications, load index, speed rating or independent performance measurements.
Customers requiring road-use certification or a particular tyre rating should verify the markings on the actual supplied tyre before use.
Inner Tube Supplied
An inner tube is included with the rear wheel and tyre package. This reduces the need to source a separate tube when purchasing the listed components together.
However, the source does not state the tube manufacturer’s name, valve type or whether the tyre and tube arrive already mounted on the wheel.
Correct installation requires a suitable tube, properly seated tyre and inflation pressure appropriate to the tyre and vehicle application.
Motorcycle-Style Rear Hub for Vector Vortex
The rear wheel includes a motorcycle-style hub intended for the Vector Vortex frame. This is a key fitment characteristic because the rear wheel connects to the drivetrain, braking system and rear suspension assembly.
Before ordering, confirm axle diameter, hub spacing, bearing arrangement and the required mounting hardware.
The supplier does not provide these individual hub measurements or confirm that an axle, spacers or axle hardware are included.
Sprocket and Chain Compatibility
The rear wheel must fit correctly within the Vortex drivetrain assembly. Relevant checks include sprocket mounting, chain alignment, wheel positioning and clearance.
Although Vector E-Bike offers separate sprocket products for the Vortex, the rear wheel listing does not specify which sprocket, if any, is included.
Before installation, compare the supplied hub with the original wheel and verify sprocket attachment requirements using the appropriate technical documentation.
Rear Brake Compatibility
A replacement rear wheel must also be compatible with the existing rear brake arrangement. Brake rotor mounting, disc positioning and calliper alignment are important installation considerations.
The product page does not identify a brake rotor size, mounting pattern or supplied brake disc.
For safe fitment, confirm the rear brake components and hardware before assembling the wheel.
Rear Wheel Installation and Maintenance
Replacing a rear wheel is safety-critical work. Installation should follow the correct procedure for the Vector Vortex frame and its drivetrain and braking components.
Before riding, inspect wheel retention, tyre condition, inflation pressure, chain alignment, brake operation and adequate clearance throughout suspension movement.
Where the necessary fitting information or equipment is unavailable, installation should be completed by a qualified technician.
Why Choose This Vector Vortex Rear Wheel Package?
The main advantage of this product is the confirmed combination of a Vector Vortex rear wheel, aluminium motorcycle rim, moto hub, Kenda K270 tyre and inner tube.
For Vortex owners who need these components together, it provides a more complete package than purchasing the supplier’s wheel-only version.
Customers in Germany should confirm their particular Vortex configuration, technical fitment and any applicable road-use requirements before purchasing or fitting the assembly.
