Do bike wheels have weight limits?
The ultimate limit of a wheel is not in terms of “weight”, but in terms of force. I would guess you could statically load most bicycle wheels with about 1000 pounds of weight without causing a failure. It is dynamic loads that are the issue, and those are hard to predict.
What hubs do Alex rims use?
Alex Rims used their Bear Pawls hub system design which is a traditional pawl and ratchet ring-based solution featuring either 4 pawls or 6 on the e-bike-specific versions. Pawls engage with the 48-tooth ratchet ring to give around 5-6-degrees of engagement. The system is designed specifically to be low maintenance.
