Looking for some Solid ebike tires that will fit.

I am wondering if anyone can recommend any Solid ebike Tires that will fit on a Velotric Breeze 1 wheel size is 27.5x2.2. I want to switch the tires on my breeze 1 to solid tires instead so that way I don't have to worry about getting a flat!!

You'd need to swap out the wheels to be compatible with solid tires, and solid bicycle tires are extremely rare because they're absolutely terrible at their function. The best you can say about them is that the solid rubber tires on penny-farthings were a slight improvement over the wooden wheels on velocipedes. They provide almost no cushioning, which means every little bump in the road is conveyed directly into the bike's frame, and by extension its rider, which is both very uncomfortable and potentially damaging to the frame. They're also much heavier than pneumatic tires. There's a reason pneumatic tires became a universal standard for all bikes within less than 10 years of their invention and have remained the standard for the last 130 years.

You want an answer for how to put a solid rubber tire on a modern bike? You'll have to get them custom-made. The only solid rubber bike tires being made these days are one-offs for replicas of pre-pneumatic bikes because solid rubber tires are absolute garbage at actually being tires. Which, you know, the fact that in the entire global bike industry the only bikes available for sale with solid rubber tires are replica penny-farthings and the occasional tech bro bike that deliberately violates every industry convention for the sake of being different in complete ignorance of why those conventions exist like the Reevo should tell you all you need to know about the matter.
Not that I expect any of this to get through to someone with the level of emotional maturity that they send suicide threat reports in response to being told that a technology that's been obsolete since the 1890s was abandoned for a reason.

He’s giving you correct advice. Try tannus armour instead. No flats in 2 years.

How about you get lost and I would rather have a Solid tire than tires that can pop so easily

I guess you assume you know more than everyone else on this forum when im not the only one with the same advice ..Oh and a solid tire will turn your rear wheel built into jello in short notice..

Holy ef lol just put flat out in your tires. I get nails all the time and just pull them out and flat out has sealed it every time
Solid tires are awful awful feeling and can even ruin your bike
