The Johnny Watts Lineup – Everyday to All-Season Tires
The Johnny Watts family offers a smart solution for every type of rider. Whether you commute, head out on regular tours or need a true year-round tire, you’ll find the perfect match here. All models share the same core features – reliability, comfort and versatility. The differences lie in the details – and that’s exactly what makes choosing your model so interesting.
Schwalbe Johnny Watts – The Proven Classic
The original Johnny Watts is the all-rounder that covers all the bases. Its signature HS604 tread pairs large center blocks for smooth rolling with enough traction for off-road detours. It’s a great choice for riders who want maximum flexibility on their e-bike without committing to just one type of surface. The ADDIX compound offers a balanced blend of grip and durability, while Double Defense with SnakeSkin sidewalls and either RaceGuard (folding version) or GreenGuard (wire-bead version) delivers strong puncture protection.
- Versatile HS604 tread for pavement to light trails
- ADDIX compound for balanced grip and durability
- Double Defense puncture protection (RaceGuard or GreenGuard)
- ECE-R75 (E-50) certified for e-bikes and S-pedelecs up to 50 km/h
Johnny Watts LR – Maximum Range for Long Distances
The Johnny Watts LR (Long Range) starts with the proven HS604 tread and fine-tunes it for lower rolling resistance. That means more range from every battery charge at the same speed – perfect for long commutes or multi-day tours. Even with its efficiency-focused design, you still enjoy the quiet ride, reliable comfort and dependable performance that define the Johnny Watts. If you spend a lot of time on paved surfaces or hardpack and want to squeeze every bit of efficiency out of your e-bike, the LR is the way to go.
- Reduced rolling resistance for maximum e-bike range
- Proven HS604 tread in a more efficient configuration
- Performance Line construction with a 67 TPI casing
Johnny Watts 365 – Ride Through Every Season
If you ride your e-bike in rain, slush or winter conditions, the Johnny Watts 365 is the all-season tire to trust. Its distinctive siped HS618 tread offers a secure grip on a wide range of surfaces – from wet pavement to lightly snow-covered paths. The ADDIX 4-Season compound remains elastic and grippy even in temperatures down to –20°C, giving you reliable braking and cornering through the colder months. Double Defense puncture protection with either RaceGuard or GreenGuard keeps you rolling through leaves, grit and moisture with confidence.
- Siped HS618 tread for grip in wet and cold conditions

Key Technologies Behind the Johnny Watts
Schwalbe hasn’t just created another e-bike tire – they've built a thoughtful concept designed for modern mobility. Three pillars sit at the heart of the Johnny Watts: versatility, durability and puncture protection. Each technology is tuned to the specific demands of e-bikes – higher weight, more torque and longer distances – giving you a meaningful upgrade for your daily rides.
- ADDIX Compound: A versatile Performance Line rubber blend that strikes a balanced mix of grip, low rolling resistance and long-lasting durability. It handles the higher torque of e-bike motors without wearing out prematurely.
- ADDIX 4-Season: A thermally optimized compound used in the Johnny Watts 365. It stays elastic and grippy across a wide temperature range – down to –20°C – ensuring confident braking and cornering in winter conditions.
- Double Defense: A combined protection system featuring SnakeSkin fabric along the sidewalls plus RaceGuard (dual nylon layers for folding tires) or GreenGuard (a 3 mm recycled rubber insert for wire-bead tires) beneath the tread. This all-round protection extends service life and keeps punctures at bay.
- ECE-R75 Certification (E-50):
Confirms that the tire meets the strict performance requirements for S-pedelecs up to 50 km/h.
