Thank you for this extremely helpful video. i just got a flat on my barely month old Mantis King GT with PMT's. I know my other scooter (Niu KQi3 max) requires entire deck disassembly just to remove the rear wheel and id rather sell the scooter than deal with that mess
Thats a neat design choice they made there. However still looks anoying to have to do in the field. There's a reason I always slime or equivalent my bike tires, tube or tubless. There's nothing better than changeing out worn tires for new ones and finding a dozen spots on the tube tallying the times you were not stuck doing a road side tire change.
Hey brother, great content as always. Was wondering if you had a good plug for the inner tubes? I get conflicting information, whether its 10" x 2.125" or 2.5". I'd imagine I will run into problems if I a cheap or wrong spec tube. Thanks for the content and any help!
Nice video walk-through. I found it helpful. My mantis is brand new and the brakes on it are a little grabby and almost “too much.” I already adjusted the E-ABS assist in advanced settings to “level 1” in all five gears. They are still pretty grabby, even when I barely touch them. How are your brakes?
Nice video. How did you fix the looseness in the both suspensions? I've checked and didnt find any missing bushings but i have big looseness.... IS there a way to tight it up? It's very annoying
Hey dude I’m trying to take out the bolt with my socket wrench but it won’t budge. It’s extremely tight and I feel like if I try to push harder I’ll break the swing arm lol
thats sick. i hate changing tyres on the wolf x, the front motor cable rubs against the rotor bolts + the motor cable going through the wheel means you can't even change your rotor without opening the deck and disconnecting the phase wires/motor cable to completely remove the wheel...... i will never understand this. my next scooter, plug and play motor cables are on the list haha. cheers bruh
It's crazy to me that the mantis has been this smart for years and yet almost no other brands will just copy that exact motor setup. Saving time should be in every manufacturers best interests
This is far from the experience I have when changing tubes on my MKGT motors. There's no chance of getting the tyre off either the motor side or the split rim itself without some watered down dishwashing liquid & some MTB tyre levers... its just THAT tight.
Yeah split rim is the best. But even on my Vsetts the motor wire is on the wrong side and it doesn’t split easily like this. It still requires entering the deck and completely freeing up the motor wire.
Thanks for the helpful info. I am considering this scooter and wondering which tires to go with - the street tires that you have or the knobby off-road tires. My riding will be combination street and trail, but i expect the trails will not be too gnarly or steep. I'm leaning towards the street tire for smooth and more quiet rides on the paved surfaces, while having some level of traction for packed trails. Do you like these tires and would you recommend them?
Yeah these PMT tires are the best grip and smoothest ride. Most of the other tires available are made of nylon instead of rubber and they last about half as long as the PMT.
@@ScootaGang Thanks! I watched your other video comparing to Vsett 10+ (before you fixed the suspension looseness) and I am wondering if fixing the loose suspension made the ride more stable and feel better? With the tightened suspension and PMT tires, does it upgrade your opinion of this scooter? Hopefully Kaabo will take care of this on the ones they are building now, but even if they don't, you have provided a solution.
I will buy this scooter because of this feature alone! Can you show me other scooters that have split rim design like this? My heart was set on the Nami Klima, I gave up on it after seeing this.
Yeah I remember changing my first Mantis SE tire and it so smartly designed compared to the rest. That was two years ago and I’m still waiting for Vsett to copy it. I think this is overlooked by most RUclips promoters since they never get enough miles to change the tires even 😂
A scooter with a large battery is needed. The reliable Ninebot G30- there are reviews after 20-30 000 runs, except for the front wheel bearings and tires nothing changed.
Didn't work. Must have skipped a step. Was not able to get the tire/rim removed from the motor? I took out all the screws, still wouldn't come off. Used literally all my strength. Did you loosen screws on the opposite side of the rim too?
Personally, I think Mukuta is the move now and I heard RevRides might be carrying them soon. I think Vsett is better then mantis in ride quality, but I think the Mukuta is fantastic and is the new updated version of the Vsett 10+. At this point I think they are all easily good enough to recommend, so it comes down to your personal preferences for styling etc. The one thing about Vsett is that it has a massive facebook group with extremely good info, lots of aftermarket parts etc, and so the whole community behind it helps make it that much better. Here's my mantis review: ruclips.net/video/0sTrcKIVAhg/видео.html Vsett 10+ 500 mile review will be out soon, just turned 450 yesterday!
I appreciate this feedback because I’ve just got into the scooter world this year. I bought a Ninebot Max G30 and after that I was like I need suspension and some speed so I pre ordered the Splach Titan which looks very promising goes about 37mph but I intend on using scooters very frequently for Uber eats so I thought perhaps I’d get one more Scooter so I can go out more and after you telling me this I’m just gonna wait for them to add the Mukata to Revrides. Appreciate your help 👍 Btw I watch your videos everyday you one of greats that have convinced me to get a super scooter 🛵
If you using the same 10x3 PMT tires then I recommend 10 x 2.5 tubes. You can use all the way down to 10 x 2 if that's all you have, but the tube will be stretched more and likely won't last as long as the wider tube. Also make sure you coat the tube and inner tire with baby powder to reduce friction, your tubes will last longer!
Had my first flat and tube change about 2 weeks ago on my 40mph Vicesat VSO4. I was relieved when i found out it was a split rim!
Did this method last night. 10/10 the best way to go!! Thanks for this video!! 🤘

did you do your mantis king tubeless? if so, how did you do it? thx.
What size alan wrench did you use for the swing arm?
Great video bro helped me out alot

Thank you so much for the tip I just replace mine with you help
Thanks from me too bro. Does the tube have a 90° or 45° valve?
Super video. Is it really that much better than CST? What do you recommend for an inner tire? Is that also PMT? Thanks!
Nice video. How did you fix the looseness in the both suspensions? I've checked and didnt find any missing bushings but i have big looseness.... IS there a way to tight it up? It's very annoying
Hey dude I’m trying to take out the bolt with my socket wrench but it won’t budge. It’s extremely tight and I feel like if I try to push harder I’ll break the swing arm lol
Why do you have the zip tie
on the back swing arm? Is it because the brake cable is hitting the rear disk brake screws?

Just a tip from an old dude. Invest in Wd 40 products and these bolts will come out and reinstall easier.
Not sure I would want to lubricate around the disc brakes or motor, actually those bolts should have blue loctite on them.
I wish they made split rims on all scooters. I have a Vsett 10 and I didn’t have to take off fender to change
Yeah split rim is the best. But even on my Vsetts the motor wire is on the wrong side and it doesn’t split easily like this. It still requires entering the deck and completely freeing up the motor wire.
My Nanrobot Lightning v2 has split rims, its gotta be the way to go. Too easy!

What do if the bolt doesn’t wanna come loose

Dang I kinda wanna send back my solar p1 pro now and get this

I been thinking of getting scooter to try to work do you have some opinion on one that would be good to use for work.
A scooter with a large battery is needed. The reliable Ninebot G30- there are reviews after 20-30 000 runs, except for the front wheel bearings and tires nothing changed.

you ever figure this out?
In your opinion should I get the Mantis King GT or the new Vsett 10+ in grey?
Personally, I think Mukuta is the move now and I heard RevRides might be carrying them soon. I think Vsett is better then mantis in ride quality, but I think the Mukuta is fantastic and is the new updated version of the Vsett 10+.

Ur rear fender hasnt broken off yet? How u do that!
Wow!
I cant get that first bolt off the left swing arm. I put almost my whole body weight into it and it wont budge. Any tips?
Don't miss arm day..
heat it
@cookmatthew920 wrong guy.
Selling my mantis 8. Really annoying changing the tires.
Men that is easy, try changing the tire on a Mantis 8, What a nightmare.
hi! what size of inner tube do I need ? mantis king gt
If you using the same 10x3 PMT tires then I recommend 10 x 2.5 tubes. You can use all the way down to 10 x 2 if that's all you have, but the tube will be stretched more and likely won't last as long as the wider tube. Also make sure you coat the tube and inner tire with baby powder to reduce friction, your tubes will last longer!
thanks for your reply! im using road tires 10x3 . so 10X2.5 tubes will be good ?
@@Eladilevi yep
watching the 250lb weight lifting guy trying to put the swing arm back on...🙂
Geez, taking a swing arm off for a flat tire seems obsessive......
