You must be talking about the eco-exo, the kandi viper uses 165/70R13 tires all around. The reason I'd guess the eco-exo uses motorcycle tires is because its steering system is designed to use the front end from the suzuki bergman. They seem to like to use as much of the donor vehicle as possible, so that falls in line with that.
