    Bigger tyres provide larger surface contact area to ground , which results more pulling power.

    1. Because the rear wheel must transmit the engine’s power, and the front wheels do the steering and braking. A bike with a bigger front wheel (than the rear wheel) feels sluggish when cornering.

    2. Most if not all bikes are rear driven. And as we might all know bikes have quite powerful engines. So to put the power down effectively a lot of surface area is needed, which is gripping rubber, I am not 100% sure but I think the rear brakes on a bike are more powerful than the front brakes, here you would also need more grip to avoid fishtailing under heavy braking. Plus it looks cooler.

Who doesn’t love cars? Nowadays, the kind of car that you have determines your status in life. Lamborghini, Koenigsegg, or Bugatti are just few of the many luxury cars in the world. Name the car that you would want to have and poof! Technology has it all.
In the rapid advancing of globalization, you can now think of the possibility of flying cars, futuristic cars that only exist in a sci-fi movie and novel. As for the present, you may want to have a solar car to make use of the sun’s energy. Why not? Neither oil industry nor elites own the sun. Add the electric cars in your list. A must try parking shades that block sunlight to charge electric cars.
