That's awesome! I am a big fan of Continental bicycle tires. I'll check them out.
I completed a very quick test of my Touring/Cyclocross/Mountain Bike tires.
---Touring Tires (700x32)---
Time: 5:00.71 minutes
Distance: 1.36 miles
Average Speed: 16.26 mph
Maxium Speed: 22.15 mph
---Cyclocross Tires (700x35)---
Time: 4:46.62 minutes
Distance: 1.36 miles
Average Speed: 17.03 mph
Maxium Speed: 22.75 mph
---Mountain Bike Tires (29x2.1)---
Time: 5:00.70 minutes
Distance: 1.35 miles
Average Speed: 16.18 mph
Maxium Speed: 22.47 mph
I'm not impressed with this small test. Although, I can confidently say that the cyclocross tires felt the fastest. (
Such a pain in the butt removing and mounting tires)

29x2.1 Tire
Last night I tried to mount the 29x2.1 tire on the eBike wheel. The rim is just a little too small (
diameter/circumference is a little smaller). I also tried to mount the cyclocross and touring tire and I had the same problem.
I think the eBike rim is actually a 28" rim. I will take the rim into my local bike shop this weekend and have them confirm the wheel size.
I thought about my options... I could buy a 29r rim and have the hub motor laced into that rim (would cost about $150), or I could just buy a 28" tire and use that (
the bike would look a tiny bit off, 29" wheel in the front and 28" in the rear, but whatever).
I also need to buy a different rear de-railer. The rear de-railer on the bike rubs against the motor.
