They should be stronger than bicycle wheels.Hello, Fatbike tires vs. normal tires for a commuter bike. Do fatbike tires really offer more capability than normal bike tires in an urban context? In my case, I live in a snowy/cold city and my commute to work is about 23 km mostly on roads, bike paths, with the option to go thru some parks.
There are some electric bike manufacturers that put out models with motorcycle wheels. There are also bikes out there which are basically electric motorcycles. They may be expensive. Many are too powerful to be street legal. But you may get a bike with a controller limited to make it street legal. I have not owned one myself, but that is where I suggest looking.

I've been with E-bike retailers and most e-bike models don't go over 260 lbs and rider heights around 6'2". If I were to recommend something I would definitely consider mountain e-bikes or gravel ebike canada. These are built to take a heavy beating and are more likely to support heavier riders.
Take something with more torque over speed and a large towing capacity. Maybe something like Himiway Cobra
