I just got back from a ride. A total of 11.5 miles close to halfway through my ride I started hearing a strange noise coming from the rear of my bike. I pulled in to a convenient store and looked at my rear tire to see what the noise was and there was a 5/8” bolt head sticking out of my tire. I pulled it out. Tire went flat. pushed my bike over to the air compressor and re-inflated it to 20# rode home because I wasn’t real sure, and didn’t want to get stranded anywhere. When I got home I checked the pressure in the tire and I still had 20#. I ride an E bike because after my stroke and the fact that I am 67 and arthritic, my old mountain bike just wasn’t hacking it anymore. I do have a tire pump but since I put Flat Out with Kevlar in my tubes. I have kind of gotten overconfident. I may have to put the tire pump back in lol. Just in case if there isn’t a convenient store nearby next time.
I've used slime and flat out extensively, and I would give the edge to flat out, but slime is also a pretty solid product. I feel like flat out is better for bigger punctures, but slime still absolutely does the job when use correctly and in the appropriate amount. I feel like people's biggest issues with these sealants, is that they don't use enough, nor do they understand that the solution has to cover the puncture, for the product to work.
Oh, using these sealant are very helpful. Makes tire more sturdy or very hard at less then PSI level. I run over things of the loud sound it makes when tire runs over it thinking it maybe a puncture many times but my tires still up and up of being studs on the pavement. I mean loud sounds of tire riding over the debris of flicking them out and away, like many small rocks.
@@MrAkaprimetime $20 for the tubes. I think 20 or 40 for the repair, J can’t remember since my uncle paid for it. Definitely going to do it myself next time.
I just put in on my fat tire Aventon. Had some issues. It went in good in rear tire not so much in the front tire. I had to keep clearing the valve in the front tire because it would not go in. The second issuer was both tires coming off the rim when inflating. I had better luck turning the bike over to take weight off the tires.
Excellent video and well explained and best of all, no annoying background music that drowns out the person speaking. Thank you and just ordered the product on amz.
Excellent video! Straight to the subject stated in the title and no 5-10min intro with way to LOUD music. Just got another like and new sub! I do truly appreciate the American Flag you’re flying on your home, me too. God bless and stay safe!
I have about two 32 once well I think that is what they are. I'm expecting the delivery of another HJM 3 wheel trike to be delivered. I bought two bottles about three months ago but had my trike stolen from out side the grocery store. My next trike I'm putting three very high quality locks on it with a alarm to boot. Don't think one lock is enough have a variety of them on it. I'm using flat out because I ride five miles in the pitch dark into town to shop and needles to say even with the bike light I'm not likely to see anything laying in the road. Thank you for the video.
Great video! You said you might take a pouch for a friend, so if you get a flat on the road and you do not already have Flat Out in the tire, what do you do? Just fill the tire with Flat Out on the road the same way? So you can do it after the fact, after the puncture?
The bigger 26 inch fat tires needs more attention to detail of the work with tube, tire and rims. My first time working with 26 inch fat tires of applying flat out sealant almost exploded after putting in, lol. whew, almost. The tires still mounted on the frame, put sealant in and began to pump air back in, I just happen to stop after a few pumps to spin the wheel but it was stuck. I checked over and saw on other side the tube was sticking out from the rim edge of tire. If I kept on pumping air it would of popped not knowing these tires and rims are heavier as being still mounted I had to lift the tire a bit when pumping air back in along with rimming out the edge rim line to keep on track. You just need to lift a bit up when pumping air back as I was lucky to have a mini motorcycle jack along with motorcycle tire pliers to make this easy so I was lucky I didnt have to stress out on a simple choir easily can go bad( for my situation ) but be aware when tire and rim still mounted on frame, otherwise it is best to have tire out but on or off, these fat tires do need extra effort of handling.
Can I take a tube filled with flat out and put in another rim? Or is it just best to fll a new tube of taking tube out from fixed rim of deflating tube to put in another rim??
Would this work on the inside of the tire as well, it may be more effective if you could spread it all inside besides in the inner tube. I realize it involves a lot more work as well.
i have no idea why i bought an e-bike. i am 5 10 300lbs and dont workout anymore. oh yah, im almost 60 too. so after 5months or about 1000miles i got a rear flat even after being so careful not to.. well, i started pricing out new tires and tubes as well as patches or even armor to prevent future bs and within 3min i was up to $500 bucks and could just keep spending! screw that!!! all of the sudden a video of Flatout pops up so i watch it. OMG are you serious? just put some in , fill your tire back up with air , dont worry about flats again . i thought this has to be a lie . here i am 4weeks after using it and still no flats so i cant tell them thank you enough for being what they advertise , and flatout will go in every tire i will ever own...
Hay Rob thanks for YOUR post too! I’m not in the exact same boat but….. a similar model lol. Still trying to figure out which EB to buy, and then I WAS going to have the armor installed in the tires before I rode it off the lot…an extra $250😮. I’m NOW going to buy a new bike and just install this my self👍 I 63 and have had a 5way heart by-pass back in 2016, have dropped 110 lbs with walking an avg of 8-10miles a day. Recently have had to have half my right foot removed due to infection. Not sure if I can continue or if it’s wise to keep up my walking trek, hence an EB. I’m really looking at a Lectric folding XP3.0 so it can fit into the rear of our CRV. Just curious as to what he Bike you have and if you would buy it again?
My dealer put in Slime when I bought the bike as they didn’t carry Flat out, I wonder if I could buy Flat out on line and add it the tires, sounds like it would be a mess but perhaps it’s possible?
Tried this stuff the other day. Went into the front tire with no problems. Couldn't get a drop into the rear tire. FLATOUT has been totally unresponsive to any of my enquiries. Wish I would've saved my money.
@@JoeCnNd I have an e bike with 20'zx3,, and they sell 32 oz. For 30 bucks on eBay so I'm covered. Thxz that's what I was thinking, Did some more research and it said a quarter of the tires full of sealer, impressive, either that or buy 100 bucks for pool noodle inserts.
I use Flat Out. No flats yet but watching video reviews of different products for flat prevention and it’s always the top performer.

When did you have a stroke date month number of year ?
I've been going back and forth on this. Thanks for nailing it down. . . No pun intended.
Your welcome.
New to the e bikes, had four flats in 90 days. Buying this product tonight!
have you gotten any new flats?
Mr tuffy tire liners would be a good addition as well.
@@ap3055I had the same fucking problem but I had 3flats bought new i tubes and tires and still going flat like wtf
i had around 3 flats within 20 days of having my new macfox m20x
Great how to video. This will be my next how too prevention step! 😉👍🔋🚲
I use flat out, been in tire over 2 years no flat. Without it I get 2 flats per year. So far so good
Thanks for sharing.

Excellent, clear tutorial! Thanks! I got 2 flats on my new ebike within a span of 2 months. This is stuff my last hope...
How much did u have to pay for new tubes & tires
@@MrAkaprimetime $20 for the tubes. I think 20 or 40 for the repair, J can’t remember since my uncle paid for it. Definitely going to do it myself next time.
Great advice on lifting the bike to allow for proper filling!
Thank you! Very helpful! Spring is here and I’m ready to ride, but needed to fix my tire first.

Nice video Richard. Your explanation was very good and I also think Flat Out is a much superior product.
Thanks Dan.
Great informative video going to use on my Mini bike
Great information
Thanks for the lesson.

Can this be used on 16x1.25 tyres

Very helpful video. Does anyone know how much i will put on a 16X2.25 tube tire. Thank you very much. Ride safe.
Can it be bought in Spain?
Very helpful video thanks. Nice n simple
If you do this, do you still have to put a tire liner on the wheel inner tubes ?
Thank you so much for this very informative video, now can I get you to come to Washington state to help me?
Simplistic ... great video!
Looks like you already had slime in the tire.....saw it when u removed the core. Is it ok to mix the two like you did?
Have you read the Add Motor lately on shipping ? give it a look
Batch 1 and 2 ship early October. Batch 3 is a little later. Its Batch three that they are pre selling now.
@@EbikeReviews thanks!
Perfect Video man thank you
so does the liquid always just settle to the bottom of the tire every time you stop riding?
Would this work on the inside of the tire as well, it may be more effective if you could spread it all inside besides in the inner tube. I realize it involves a lot more work as well.
I suppose that could work too. I'm not going to try, I'll just trust that it works like it should if I get a puncture.
I’m just scared that my tire will come off the rim once I deflate it 😬 I don’t wanna struggle putting it back on
Thx
your the man!!!
Good video thank you.
If the tire is already flat can you put in flat out to repair it?
Yes. Spin the tyre after and inflate but remove offending object before inflating.
How many oz per 20x4 fat tire?
10oz for the 20"

Do you use FlatOut or Slime?

@@jamesbonham5383 If I remember correctly, Flat out says to NOT mix with other products.
Maybe, but I wouldn't mix them. I would wait, if you have a flat, change out the tubes and then use FlatOut. @@jamesbonham5383
@@EbikeReviews Thanks Richard, I’ll wait and do that.
FlatOut
It's sealed 3+ small punctures for my bikes thus far
So easy to use/install compared to fixing flats
I added this to my ebikes today and the vavle stems kept getting clogged. Is this normal?
It will do if the valve is not positioned at 10_12 or 2 oclock get it in then get the valve back in fast.
Thnx big dog
Tried this stuff the other day. Went into the front tire with no problems. Couldn't get a drop into the rear tire. FLATOUT has been totally unresponsive to any of my enquiries. Wish I would've saved my money.
Well was it 6 oz or 10?
He did 6 but he needed 10. I think it might really need 16 for 16 ounces in each wheel.

Actually it's two years. It's on the back of the bottle.
No it clearly says 10 on the back. 2 is the competition
