Brand:by eScootNow
Suits 8.5x3" tyre (5.5" rims) with 90 degree bend with a tilt of around 60 degrees rather than a true right angle.
These tubes, along with the HOTA tube are designated as compatible with Tuovt 8.5x3 Tyres and the similar HOTA equivelant, under inflation they appear "fatter" than the typical Xiaomi M365 8.5x2 tubes and the CST 8.5x2.00-5.5. Often you will find the larger hubs with 8x3" tyres will prefer a more true 90 degree tilt and in other instances this 60 degree tilt is preferred.
Unbranded. Typically brass coloured stem. Nameplate: XDV852-11 B23 KS:KY-TRE063
Notes:
Due to 8.5" tyres being relatively small, the valve shape is often critical for proper fitting. There are a few different 90 degree bend options:
The HOTA tube adopts a similar length, but with a more sharp 90 degree tilt.
The CST 8.5x2.00-5.5 where the valve protrudes out slightly further as the bend is slightly closer to the tube.
The ULIP 8.5x2, which works well with the ULIP 8.5x3 tyre.
Images below contrasts the Tuovt brand tube (left) with this tube (right) at ~4PSI. Both have a 90 degree bend, however the Tuovt (left) bends a true right angle, whereas this tyre (right) has the 60 degree tilt. It was observed the Tuovt (left) was lighter (~70 grams). It developed a flat when running in Tuovt 8.5x3 Tyre. It is observed the Tuovt did not inflate uniformly which may have contributed to premature failure from pinch puncture (marked silver X).
