You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking the time to put these kinds of videos up. They really do help us out a lot. I’ve ordered my Mantis Pro SE a few weeks ago and I CAN NOT wait to get mine. I hope it’s too much longer.
Good video. The details are right on thanks. I could of figured it out but it’s aways nice to see a video that tells you the heat Gun because of the lock tight.and how to get the tire off with a simple push down on the tire. Anyway great video thumbs up 👍 buddy take care. Thanks 👍.
I have the mantis v2... Should be the same... Loved the video... But could not get the brake side of the rim off..it looks like you just pushed the motor out with your thumbs... Yeah not mine! Any ideas.
@@BlueVotr i haven't done it yet, lol. I need some proper wrenches to do the job right. Im waiting for my brother to loan me his tools so I can do it. I have allen wrenches to take apart the tire from the hub but not the nut wrenches. Those are glued on with red lock right so I'm probably going to need someone to hold the scooter down when I try taking it off as well. It's gonna be a bitch but i want to be prepared and do it right without getting frustrated you know. It'll be worth it once I'm done!👍
@@BlueVotr plus my original tires STILL have some tread left!! And it's cold here in NYC so i haven't been riding as much. Battery has taken a hit below 40F and don't want to stress the cheap Chinese battery and cause any type of damage.
@@jessa.3857 I hear ya. I gotta get hold of that hot air/heating blow dryer thing. Seems like a bit of work but I’m gonna have to do it if I want to do some off-roading
Great video, my swing arm bolt had seized completely nothing would break it lose I tired heat torch even an impact wrench the head of the bolt rounded. These swing arm bolts are hardened steel and a nightmare to remove if they seize. I had to drill the bolt out in the end, just a warning.
Probably the clearest instructional Mantis tyre change vid on YT! Thank you! Just a couple of quick question... No loctite on the 6 motor screws?? And the wheel nut had red loctite, I've only got blue... will that be sufficent???
Blue locktite should be fine. Blue locktite is made to be removable with hand tools but still secure nuts usually you’ll use this locktite on bolts or nuts that’s made to me removed on parts that are require servicing. Red locktite on the other hand is made for more of a permanent hold like structural bolts suspension and frame bolts or heavy duty industrial bolts and was made that you’ll have to heat up to 500 degrees to loosen them. Hope this helps!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
If you have a wolf warrior pro you will need a 18mm socket wrench to remove the rear tire. And make sure it's a heavy duty socket wrench because you will need to stand on it to remove the nuts
Watched this video to replace an inner tube on the rear wheel of my new Mantis V2. A potential problem I've noticed is that the motor line didn't seem to settle in properly when I finished putting everything back together and now the accelerator sticks a little. I hope you have advice on how to fix my mistake
We do not sell the Mantis V2, so we can't speak to that model specifically, but cable management, often using zip ties, is important to keep everything in its proper place! You definitely want to avoid major kinks or worse when handling a scooter's cables and wiring.
I havet the same exact looking tire. How do I understand that it is worn out? I've read millions of guides but I can't find a picture for me to understand lol.
If the tire is misshapen, bald (low or no tread), rubber is cracking or dry, not holding air -- you should replace the outer tire and/or inner tube. The Mantis Pro SE, Mantis King GT, and Wolf Warrior X GT have tubed pneumatic tires. If your tires go flat but the outer rubber tire seems fine, you may have punctures in the inner tubes and may only need to replace the tubes. If the outer rubber tire shows signs of damage mentioned, it's likely you'll need to replace both. With tubed tires, sometimes the tube can get pinched in the rim -- this is called a pinch flat. Tubeless pneumatic tires seal to the rim, so flats happen when the seal isn't tight or there's a puncture in the tire. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
I need to change the rear brake rotor on mine as I caught it on a kerb. I got the wheel off but the 3 little screws that hold the kick plate on on the rear are being a pain, the 2 outer ones are so tight they soon rounded off. Is the motor wire definitely located under here?
Hi, thanks for the video, pretty clear and useful. Im looking to open the rear motor and see if there is something wrong, cause my kaabo mantis 10 single 800w has a noisy sound coming from The rear motor. Is not the brake, or the rotor screws (there are no contact points that could make the sound) could be the axis or the motor, and im not sure how to open it easily, regards !!
@xi-sky I've never heard of those, but I just did a goggle search and they look interesting. I guess I'd have to find out what size to use for the Mantis V2.
WOOOW. All the clowns telling me to use tire irons need to get the hell out of here with that BS. I was losing my mind trying to get the tire off of my WWX But it's literally the same process as this. Just take th e motor out FFS. THANK YOU FOR THIS
Tubeless tires are harder to remove but last longer w/o airleak once installed. But if I apply Armor Dilloz tire sealant to a tubed tire, would that make it last just as long as a tubeless tire ?
Hi Michael, It wouldn't last longer than a tubed tire. A tubed tire is always going to be more prone to punctures than a tubeless tire due to the soft inner tube that is inside the wheel. A tire sealant acts as a temporary preventive solution to the root problem, which is inner tube getting punctured inside of the wheel, usually not a result from an exterior object. If a sharp object is able to puncture a tubeless tire, it will be able to puncture the outer layer of a tubed tire - Sealant does not have the ability to seal up a puncture from an outer tire. To give you some insights, we shipped out more tubed tires for the Mantis in the past 3 months then the tubeless tires for the EMOVE Cruiser for the whole year combined.
Just apply a little on the edge, when you tighten it back in a rotational manner, the loctite will spread across the nut and the threading. Hope this information is helpful.
Great video! I do wish some of the steps were a little more detailed, particularly the reseating rims steps where they're only a few seconds each and off camera. I can NOT for the life of me get this rim back on
Hi there! Sorry to hear you're having issues with this. If you could reach out to us at support@voromotors.com with more detail, I'm sure we can help you out. We're always happy to help out our customers as best as we can if they're having trouble with one thing or another.
Around the same time taken for tire replacement jobs on Cruiser and the Mantis Pro. It depends on how you see it. We would still prefer to change the tubeless tire once and not worry about it for a long time rather than constantly replacing tires.
Ok so first off i'm FURIOUS with you guys at voro motors for sending me a scooter with ONE JUST ONE stripped hex head bolt of the 6 holding the hub on, bravo. I will start off by saying I am mechanically inclined as having worked on bicycles and dealt with stripped bolts for 40 years I'm familiar with techniques to remove them. So far I've not had any luck at all and I am running out of options and bolt head because of the multitude of tools etc trying to remove it. I'm losing patience as I've been at this for, oh, 8 hours or so JUST TO REPLACE THE F******* TUBE!!!!!!! any suggestions there chief. Ps you might consider using grade 8 bolts in the crucial areas of your builds, because this is ridiculous.
Hey John, We're sorry to hear this, but while it is very helpful in most situations, tire slime is not a solution for every kind of damage a tire encounters. Damage severe enough can still render the tire damaged to the point of requiring replacement. This is just part of general maintenance for a scooter. If you need a replacement tire, you can get one on our website here: www.voromotors.com/collections/electric-scooter-parts-and-accessories/products/10-inch-outer-tire. Also feel free to reach out if you ever need any help!
Hey I would love to add off-road tires on my mantis pro se do I need new fenders if I decide to change tires anybody let me know thank you and second of all nice video
Yeap, you need the new fenders in order for you to prevent water splashing. However, if you are riding in dry environment most of the time, its not really necessary.
Okay thank you I will order some new fenders I have one more quick question I want to replace the wheel axle the nuts for the hubs I want to replace them with black ones do you know the size so I can order some new wheel nuts thank you
I bought me a mantis scooter because of getting laid off because of COVID-19. I’ve put about 300 miles on it so far along the southern coast of California. From Huntington Beach all the way to Laguna beach cliffs and back about three time a week. I normally stop at the middle of my ride and get a schooner of beer which is A 32oz beer in a plastic beer class at Mutt Lynch’s in Newport Beach. Unfortunately I didn’t ride for about two months because of getting the virus 🦠 which almost killed me. As soon as I was able I went for a ride and my tire was low I guess from sitting in the garage for two months. As I rode on the boardwalk the wind was blowing strong that day and sand was all over the side walk and my camouflage hat blew off as I braked to stop to get my hat I stop to fast and my tire must of rotated foreword and pinched the tube that became flat. I had at least five or 6 miles to go to get to my destination to get to my vehicle. I realized I had a back tire flat so I road as close to the front as I could and went half speed or about 20mph and made it were I was going. That would of been a good walk in the wind pushing a 65pound lump all the way back so I got lucky that it was the back and not the front tire. What a ride it really wasn’t that bad knowing it would make it back on a flat tire. One thing that sucks! Is there is a lot of bike stores on the path but none of them sell a 9” tube for a scooter. So I have to order one on ebay which Allways take a week to a month to get then I have to worry about all the porch pirates that follow ups postal around and steal packages. Pain in the ass if you get a flat waiting for a stupid tube that no one carries. Still waiting, it’s supposed to come in February 2 maybe you know how that goes because of COVID delivery delays another week I hope not. I weigh 270lb. And this mantis halls my Ass around like nothing this scooter is definitely a blast to ride it’s a lot of fun. I posted it for sale and I got a few hits on it and all they would say is . Is that a recall I heard the stem has a problem breaking. I have no idea what they were taking about but they sounded like they were just trying to low ball me. So f@@k them I unlisted it and have been riding it a lot until I got a flat. Oh well it’s raining finally so I will sit it out I’m out.🛴👊👨🦳👍🛴
*I am loving the **Latest.Bike** Scooter , it’s sturdy, safe and well-made. It gets me from point A to point - B- in a good record of time. ?????*

I just put in my order for the 3 inch off-road tires and front and back fenders. Can’t wait. A little nervous about changing the tires
Very clear and detailed instructions - thanks very much for putting this vid together.
I just received my Mantis Pro se from Voro today. WOW! Torque monster! Love it
It would be awesome if you could do a tire replacement on the Wolf Warrior... there’s no one with that tutorial yet.

I have a Wolf Warrior X Pro. Is changing the tire on WWX Pro similar to Kabbo Mantis 10? There are no videos on RUclips for WWX.
Upgrade from 2,5" wheel to 3" wide pmt tires, as i feel the wheels on the Mantis is too narrow👍 thanks for great toturial on how to Change the wheels😁
I have the mantis v2... Should be the same... Loved the video... But could not get the brake side of the rim off..it looks like you just pushed the motor out with your thumbs... Yeah not mine! Any ideas.
Loving my mantis pro SE . Thanks guys
Thank you for this video! I plan on changing my Mantis tires to 3" wide ones as soon as they get here.
Hi Jess: Were you able to change to the 3" tires? How was the process? I was going to go with the 3" Off-road tires.
@@BlueVotr i haven't done it yet, lol. I need some proper wrenches to do the job right. Im waiting for my brother to loan me his tools so I can do it.

@@yoassgoinhateme Perfect! Thanks mate. Appreciate the input. Used blue anyway when I changed my innertube and seems to be holding nicely. :)

upload a video where you can see how to change the tires of the kaabo mantis 8 electric scooter, it would be very helpful for the community
Hi Torres,
Unfortunately, we do not carry Mantis 8. We only produce video tutorials for the scooters that we carry.
hello there at time 7:53 you mount the locking pins in the wrong way also if you explain in audio the right way, there is a reason why you make this?
Super helpful thanks!
So glad it was helpful!
If you have a wolf warrior pro you will need a 18mm socket wrench to remove the rear tire. And make sure it's a heavy duty socket wrench because you will need to stand on it to remove the nuts
Can you explain the exact tools I need for the back tire please and thank you
Can you make one for the Wolf King GT? would be greatly Appreciated.

If the tire is misshapen, bald (low or no tread), rubber is cracking or dry, not holding air -- you should replace the outer tire and/or inner tube. The Mantis Pro SE, Mantis King GT, and Wolf Warrior X GT have tubed pneumatic tires. If your tires go flat but the outer rubber tire seems fine, you may have punctures in the inner tubes and may only need to replace the tubes. If the outer rubber tire shows signs of damage mentioned, it's likely you'll need to replace both. With tubed tires, sometimes the tube can get pinched in the rim -- this is called a pinch flat. Tubeless pneumatic tires seal to the rim, so flats happen when the seal isn't tight or there's a puncture in the tire. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Do you believe its possible to replace the rim with another one or mod it to host tubeless tire?
We need a video for wolf warrior x pro. I am having a very hard time with the rear tire

I just watched to be prepared for when my Mantis V2 shits a tube. I noticed no torque specs were given, which I find odd for axle bolts!
@xi-sky I've never heard of those, but I just did a goggle search and they look interesting. I guess I'd have to find out what size to use for the Mantis V2.

Where in the NYC area can i take my king and have the tires changed. Thanks...
just got my mantis pro and need to learn. is it anywhere to get longer fenders in one pice? really need it as i live in norway! :)
How do you inflate them?
Are the 3" tires for the Mantis pro se plug & play? Or are they to big?
How many years or miles can these tires last?
Great video! How about Wolf tire change?
Coming soon!
Seems to be less work on the Wolf Warrior X compared to this version.
Do we put lock-tight glue back on the nuts after we replace the tires?
Just apply a little on the edge, when you tighten it back in a rotational manner, the loctite will spread across the nut and the threading.
Hope this information is helpful.

Not possible, as there are no custom rims for the Mantis Pro to change it to tubeless tires.

One of my six screws that attached the motor to the tire is stripped, what should I do?

Why is there a nut on the valve stem.
Where did you get the crate to hold up the scooter?
Most hardware stores will have it... just a folding step stool
Can anyone do one on a kaabo mantis 10 pro?
Wolf Warrior tire replacement next Mr. AJ please!!! Thank you 🙏
Yes sir..!
Kaabo is moving to tubeless rims and tires for everything. Much harder to change.
Need to use the Zip-Tie trick to get em mounted...
What is the Zip-Tie trick and why is it used to mount tubeless compared to tubed?
Instead of heating up the bolt, lift weights and watch that bolt turn right off with raw power.
What if you don't have a heat gun.
