I went with solid tires and I'm glad I did. I'm someone who's using it as a means of saving money. I don't have a car anymore so I use this to get to work everyday. Reliability is my main concern. Sure it's a little bumpy but it's not something that bothers me all that much if at all. I'm not riding an electric scooter because I find the scooters trendy and I'm not some kind of scooter enthusiast. If you're a dude in a situation similar to me then I advise you to go with solid tires, it saves you the hassle of dealing with flats. Your feet will live! We humans aren't as fragile and soft as some of these videos make it seem. In simpler words, and perhaps offensive to some of y'all, if you're not too soft to ride then you'll do alright with solid tires. I just thought I should put it that way because it MUST be said. The amount of RUclipsrs who talk about solid tires in a negative manner make it sound like they got feet as fragile as tooth picks and so it made me kind of hesitant to pull the trigger and make the purchase but I can assure you that solid tires are not as bad as some people on the internet make them seem.
Apollo scooters have split rims which makes replacing way easier. I don't understand why ever company doesn't do this. Tubeless tires will always be harder and riskier to replace. Owners want to feel confident in their ability to take care of their scooters for the long haul. It's one thing to see a demo online, it's another to own a scooter for years with mileage and maintenance
I have a CityPro 2023. I’d like to replace the tubeless “self-healing” tires with solid tires. Can someone recommend solid tires for the CityPro 2023? Size and likely aftermarket solid tires and the tools? I’ve found that Apollo customer service is foolish as well as one of their “certified repair shops.” Techy in Fort Lauderdale was a joke and not funny. I left the scooter with them for a month and both Apollo and Techy had excuses each week as to why they couldn’t fix a flat. I’m on my own. My hope is a DIY solid tire. I’m just guessing that a 10 x 2.5 inch solid tire will work. Perhaps an Xiaomi compatible solid tire or Sunmate 10-inch solid tire. Perhaps a steel tire lever set as well.
As a biker I’m aware of a plug system for use on tubeless tyres in the event of a puncture. This avoids the emergency use of slime and therefore the potential associated damage incurred.
I have two Emove tourings and yes flats are a problem got a flat 2nd day we got our scooters to the point now 3 weeks in and now have to get a new tire and tube , so for me I love to be able to get a solid front tire for touring just to avoid flats all together even if there is compromise from the smoothness of the ride and some sliding
We hear you! We have been working on after market tubeless style tire for the Touring last year. It should be released soon. Stay tuned to our youtube channel or social media page for the launch!
@@VoroMotors I would love to see a pneumatic air tire option for the REAR wheel on the Touring!! Give customers this option at check out, please. I understand flats are no fun but I would prefer the increased comfort and grip since tire maintenance, even repairing flats, is pretty darn easy! I would pay extra if you made this available aftermarket!! Comfort is HUGE for me and the solid tire transmits too much vibration and not enough traction. I'm also not commuting to work, so my situation will allow me to deal with a flat with less inconvenience than some. To my eye, I believe the only thing required would be a small hole opening made on the outer edge of the rear wheel, so the valve stem (air filler) can exit (not sure if that's possible since the motor is close by). The front vs rear tire and rim size / mounting methods appear to be identical besides the valve stem hole but I could be wrong and the rear motor may well take up too much space to allow for that hole to be added, even from the factory. Now the opposite idea, swapping the front for a solid tire, is likely a simpler process. All these ideas are assuming the mounting method is equivalent for solid and tubed tires (pretty sure it is. Split-rim on both, right?). Just my two cents, and I don't even like pennies!
A reviewer should always mentioned if a scooter have splitt-able tyre-rims, or not. The Zero 8/9/10 models have it, for example. It's still gonna be a hassle to change tubes/tyres for customers without skills and tools - but at least it's gonna be a much smaller hassle. And bicycle-stores with workshops are more likely to help you out. Especially if you already have the spare-tube with you.
This video helped me understand more about choosing the right type of tire for my mober md6. Do you have an episode for different brands of tires. The best one. Oh btw i subscribed. Thanks
I have the Emove Cruiser and the tubeless pneumatic tires create a sweet ride in the city. The cruiser is amazing. Especially for the price point. That being said, the thought of changing a tire is a buzzkill. I wish there was a dealer in Seattle. Than I could just use Uber to limp back into port after any issues.
@@Joe_Friday AJ has made a video of the process. Prying the tire off with tire spoons wrenches and leverage was hard to picture in my apartment. My second line of defense was to just buy a whole new wheel - but they are currently sold out. All that being said I haven't had any problems with the tires. Pot holes, rough roads and mysterious glass objects in the path and the cruiser never skipped a beat. Goes smoothly through the city.
take a clamp clamp down the tire in three locations, then use a zip tie and or heavy nylon twine and tie is squished, it will then put the tire in the center groove of the rim and allow you to pull over the tire ! took me three days of messing with it to come up with this solution, took me less than 5 min to put the tire on once I did this, three spoon tire tools used

Bought the emove cruiser from voro motors, both front and back tubeless tires were punctured within a month, him saying they’ll bald before real damage happens isn’t the truth at all
I have a Xiaomi 365. I had CST tyres with tubes, driving around Antwerp, Belgium, a large city. The amount of punctures was just ridiculous, I swapped them for solids. Fixing an electric scooter tyre (like wou would with a bicycle tyre puncture) on the road is almost impossible.
@@fumetsu-950 I didn't know they had tubeless tyres for it. Nice, also easier to fix if they ever do get punctured. Getting those tyres back on, oh boy. 🙄
Great discussion. Can we buy a tubless tire and put a tube in it for scooters with split rims? The objective is to have a stronger tire for the scooter.
I'm 97 KG weighted electric scooter rider... which tire is suitable for me? Tubeless or tubed? I notice the factory wrote on my tubed tire "85 KG Max Load" 😒... Also, I feel my tubed tire get so hot after riding for 5 KM, is this because I'm overweight? Regards,,,
There's another type of tyre you didn't mention. It's tubeless with a lining of gel (10mm thick I think). They've got them on the Wolf King GT and are supposedly puncture proof.
I would love to see a replacement tubeless tire for the Cruiser that is more of an enduro tire. Something that had a smooth center for riding on the road, but a bit of knobby tread on the outsides.
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Yehuda Jayce thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Can I change the front tyre of the Touring for a solid one as well? I am really glad that the Touring has a solid tyre at the back, and good suspension. I am looking exactly for a comfortable zero maintenance scooter and if I can also put a solid in the front and just know that I will never have to deal with flats, that would be great. Can it be done?
I had the opposite question, if the rear solid tire could be swapped for pneumatic air/tube tire for increased comfort. I've decided this won't be possible since the valve stem (air filler stem) needs an exit hole from the interior to exterior of the wheel, like it has on the front. The front wheel has an exit hole, the rear wheel / motor does NOT seem to have this hole (although I will know for sure next week when it arrives) since it was designed for solid tire. Now for your situation, the solid wheel seems to be identical in size and the mounting procedure (split-wheel) should work fine to mount a solid tire on the front wheel. BUT - you would then have that open hole in the wheel (where the valve stem used to exit) that needs to be plugged with a rubber plug / waterproofed. Otherwise water and dirt could get stuck inside. I have not attempted either alteration but to my eye, I think it would work to put a solid tire in the front and seal that hole. Then, never get a flat! But your comfort level, traction, and handling will change to some degree - probably a tad worse. Certainly more vibration will come thru, which is why I would be interested in the rear tire swap to air filled but I'm not interested in drilling any valve stem holes in the rear wheel where the motor lives... even if it MIGHT be possible (since the hole would be on the outermost edge, potentially being clear of the motor)!! Either way, you would need to fully waterproof any changes made and it could easily VOID the WARRANTY.
My pure 3rd gen isn’t holding air in the motor wheel I was about to slime it hoping it would fix it but after watching this I’m 50/50 now am I just best buying a new tyre? Scooters only 2-3 months old and it’s a tubeless tyre
After watching this video I’d rather the old fashioned tubed tire. Easer maintenance and less of a headache to deal with in the event if must be changed.
For “tubed” tire I always use tire liners such as Tuffys. Kinda tricky to install but after installation you can be confident your chance of flats will be greatly reduced compared to slime or more expensive tires; plus they can be reused once the old tires are worn out. For tubeless tires, use Stans or Orange Seal and add glitters for extra sealing power( no kidding); always bring tire plugs just in case you hit a nail or screws on the road.
good advice dad you sound exactly like my dad used to love it, bet you save every nut and bolt so just incase you ever need that specific nut or bolt you have it typical dad move always thinking how things can be made better you dont drink beer or st agnes brandy do you anyway good advice diy dad have a good one
You answered your own question my man. Do you plan to ride more often on or off road? The street tires will feel much more planted to the pavement but obviously will have less contact with the ground on gravel or small rocks. I have run the off road tires on pavement and they are noisy, noticeably less stable feeling and will wear out quickly. I have a set of both but run street tires 90% or the time for city commuting and only swap to the off road tires for a specific off road adventure that I plan in advance.
I bought some slime from voro motors. The orange one. They didn't mention anything about replacing motor. Maybe different slime? It's the orange armadillo one.
I installed a solid tire on my rear wheel for my emove cruiser now it sounds like I have a flat every time I ride I know it’s not the motor because when I lift it up and press the throttle it works fine and I hear no noise from it after a while the motor sounds sluggish. I don’t know if I should switch back to air tires but I can’t find them in stock. I don’t know the weight limit on that tire because I can’t find that information it’s it even on the sidewall.
Hi. Question. Could a tube be put in a tubeless tire?? My tire size is 11-4.00×4. The problem is that I can't find the tire size that I need with a tube.. Only in tubeless I find, my rim is not for that type of tire....
i have the evercross HB24 . im in the city and have flat tires every so often because of all the broken glass on the streets. do you think i should change to solid tires?
I’ve seen good reviews on a self sealing inner tube called Foss. Think you can test it out and get them to manufacture scooter sized tubes, if they save customers from getting a flat that don’t want TL + slime?
So I have a really heavy scooter prolly 75lbs lol I ride in the bike lane just going to work going like 25mph is the solid tire a good choice or should I go tubeless
Can a scooter that has tubed tires be changed out with tubeless? Example: I have a Razor e300 with 10in tires. Can I change out those tires with tubeless tires?
I got a flat on my rear tire on the 2nd day of owning my scooter, so im going with solid. Id rather not have to change my tube every few days haha sounds like madness. Ill take the lil bit of ride quality reduction
i think when i buy a scooter i will buy full replacement sets in both solid n tubeless. it snows here every year n i will need that grip. during summer it hits 100f plus n i wud stick with solid tires for those seasons. only thing i wish there was a quick release for swapping out tires
From what i have read you need a special rim to go tubeless and if your scooter came with tubed tires you would need to replace both the tire and rim to go tubeless.
Hi Michael! Tubeless tires can definitely be patched if needed, though we always say that if you do have a puncture in your tire serious enough, eventually it will need to be replaced. However, we often recommend using tire sealant both as a preventative measure as well as a good temporary fix. We have one we use that we find works best for our scooters and is superior to other tire sealants on the market. You can find it on our website here: www.voromotors.com/products/doctor-orange-tire-sealant Hope this answers your question!
@@VoroMotors Thank you. The scooter I'm looking at has a tube in it. Can I replace it with tubeless tires? Also, I see yall sell many accessories; what can all be changed on a scooter? Instead of a thumb throttle, could I replace it with a trigger. Also, im taller could I replace the pole or use an extender? This is my first scooter and will be my primary transportation until I'm done with school. I want to make it comfortable.
Hi Michael, Typically, we do not recommend replacing tubed tires with tubeless ones, or making other changes that the scooter is not designed for. If you have a Cruiser, yes! You can switch between a twist throttle, thumb throttle, or trigger throttle. However, we can't speak to other models of scooter if you did not purchase with us. Feel free to reach out to our team at support@voromotors.com if you have any further questions. We're always happy to help!
The solid tire does go bald very fast, my emove touring will wear one smooth in about 300 or so miles , while it will still work and roll down the road it will not have traction, especially on a wet or damp road.
Depends some motors have brackets or clamps that are made to be aired up after its put on. I found it nearly impossible to get a solid tire on. And even if same size its impossible to bolt it back together with the bolts because its too big. Solid tire 10 x2.5 and normal tube was 10 x 2.5. Its basically really hard and some don't seem made for solid
Is there an off road or semi off road tyre that you would recommend for the emove cruiser?? I have found a 10 X 3.0 off road and semi off road tyre in Ali express and also a semi off road tyre with spikes on amazon. The only issue I see is swapping the tyre out.
Owning and maintaining an electric scooter shop for the past 3 years- Solid tires are great if you are going under 15 mph and they don't heat up. HORRIBLE and will melt or roll off the rim if on a faster scooter or a heavier rider,,, NOT recommended at all for high performance or long ride duration scooters. I have found that a front tire is a good solution for a solid tire if not a drive motor-
Yes you can use slime on a tubeless tyre. You won't have to replace the motor as the slime will not enter the motor from inside of the tyre as its a sealed unit. Also slime can be removed easily when dried, just peel it off add a new tyre and refill fresh slime. If you don't believe me then think about this why do they sell slime for car tyres which are tubeless also why do cyclist who go tubless on their push bikes add slime before pumping up the tyres. Its simply will add more protection to your tubeless tyre. Have a look at slime in mtb tubeless tyres on here to see the guy ride over nails yet the tyres are still holding air as the slime blocks the holes.
Hi William, You're right! You can do that as well for a tubeless tire. In fact, as of late, all new tubeless tires for the Cruiser we sell come with self-sealing gel pre-applied: www.voromotors.com/collections/electric-scooter-parts-and-accessories/products/tubeless-tire-emove-cruiser
I think he has a very honest and unique style. I just bought a cruiser, and as a customer, I would say don’t change a thing about the presentation. It actually made me feel even better about my purchase ☺️
I had a flat in the front after owning my cruiser for only 9 days. Had the Armor Dilloz red and tried to plug it. Unfortunately, it did not work the quick patch. I had to get the tire changed. Ordered new tire from Voromotors and get to an authorized repair ( NYC ELECTRIC SCOOTER) changed. Nobody else would touch it and to be honest I don’t want someone to damage the wheel hub. Wish there is a solid tire that also provides a comfortable ride. Changing the tires is a pain in the butt and costly.
@@salf2858 How much does it cost to replace scooter tires? The repair shop charges $75/hr for labor and estimates it'll take about 30 minutes. The tire itself is going to be $55 either way. The price ($55 DIY vs ~$95 in the shop). New York City shops!
Sorry to hear you had to do the walk of shame! Solid tires are the most durable, but aren't the most comfortable for long rides -- which is why the majority of our scooters have pneumatic/air-filled tires. Keeping the tires properly inflated can prevent flats and keep your range optimal, but catching a nail sometimes can't be avoided. Best of luck and happy riding!
I went with solid tires and I'm glad I did. I'm someone who's using it as a means of saving money. I don't have a car anymore so I use this to get to work everyday. Reliability is my main concern.

Plus, once I broke my solid tires, the ride felt much smoother.
Yeh I was thinking of getting solid tires as my next option because dealing with repairs is a pain. You confirmed my next purchase so thanks.

Is it possible to use tubeless tyres on a rim that originally had tubed tyres
So the pneumatic tire got a flat because i got glass in it
After watching this video I’d rather the old fashioned tubed tire. Easer maintenance and less of a headache to deal with in the event if must be changed.
Which tires are the best tires against the small shocks and rattles when riding ofer uneven ground? I get always cross eyed from the vibrations!
What about a foam filled tire? The wide wheel has foam filled tires what are the pros and cons of a foam filled tire ?
Those ones suck very bad. No traction at all.

11-4.00×4. The problem is that I can't find the tire size that I need with a tube..
Only in tubeless I find, my rim is not for that type of tire....
i have the evercross HB24 . im in the city and have flat tires every so often because of all the broken glass on the streets. do you think i should change to solid tires?
also you didnt explain why someone should want a tube tire , over tubeless!!! besides that its an amazing video! thanks
Solid tires if you don't drop off curbs or care too much about feeling every pebble. The tube take alot of the impact
Dude. Without slime, how do you repair flats on tubeless tires?
Regarding what he says about tubeless and slime.. What does "The slime confuses the tire to the wheel" means?
I’ve seen good reviews on a self sealing inner tube called Foss. Think you can test it out and get them to manufacture scooter sized tubes, if they save customers from getting a flat that don’t want TL + slime?
So I have a really heavy scooter prolly 75lbs lol I ride in the bike lane just going to work going like 25mph is the solid tire a good choice or should I go tubeless
Would be nice to know the energy savings 👍
Hi VoroMotors,
I have size 11 inches wheels with inner tube on my scooter. Can I use or replace with the tubeless wheel?
So is a 8.5inch fat tire better then a 10 inch tire like the one the hi boy s2 pro has
Can a scooter that has tubed tires be changed out with tubeless? Example: I have a Razor e300 with 10in tires. Can I change out those tires with tubeless tires?
Dumb question. If I have tire with inner tube. Can I upgrade to tubeless? Or tubeless tire need completely different rim?
Is there a tubeless 10 x 2.5 tires for the nanrobot d6+ that has split rims??
I got a flat on my rear tire on the 2nd day of owning my scooter, so im going with solid. Id rather not have to change my tube every few days haha sounds like madness. Ill take the lil bit of ride quality reduction
What would happen if I painted a thin layer of line x on the inner tube?
i think when i buy a scooter i will buy full replacement sets in both solid n tubeless.
it snows here every year n i will need that grip. during summer it hits 100f plus n i wud stick with solid tires for those seasons.
only thing i wish there was a quick release for swapping out tires
Where can I buy a 9" tire?
is the wolf king gt compatible with 11"pmt tires?
Hop over to 5:05 to watch how AJ inflates the tire!
How do I replace my brake cable?
Can I put a tubeless tire or Solid Tire, on my nanrobot d6+?
Can you fit solid tyres on a vsett 10+
What about foam filled tires?
Very informative
do these three tires fit on go trax xr elite
Where can I purchase solid tires for the emove cruiser?? I’m tired of replacing the tubeless tires once I get a puncture.
@@Jtzkb no haven’t :(
4:17 can definitely relate! 😂
Great video! I have an Apollo Explore with tubed tires... not sure if I can upgrade to tubeless or not.
From what i have read you need a special rim to go tubeless and if your scooter came with tubed tires you would need to replace both the tire and rim to go tubeless.
Is there anything you can add to a tubeless tire to make it more puncture resistant?
Yes slime
I put slime in mine.
My tire says it's "non-pneumatic tubeless tires" so does it mean it's air or solid?
@Green Heart ok thanks
Great vid. Thank you soo much
Why not go off road with solid tires what’s the risk can’t pop anything, I’m confused
We love your upbeat personality! thank you for all of the videos and information!
Veteran EUC's just announced their Abrams Edition will have Tubeless Tire. What do you think about that? Should we think this is good or not?
Can I put solid tyre on pure air
Tubeless are like car tires. Can they be patched as well?
Hi Michael!
Tubeless tires can definitely be patched if needed, though we always say that if you do have a puncture in your tire serious enough, eventually it will need to be replaced.
However, we often recommend using tire sealant both as a preventative measure as well as a good temporary fix. We have one we use that we find works best for our scooters and is superior to other tire sealants on the market. You can find it on our website here: www.voromotors.com/products/doctor-orange-tire-sealant
Hope this answers your question!
@@VoroMotors Thank you. The scooter I'm looking at has a tube in it. Can I replace it with tubeless tires? Also, I see yall sell many accessories; what can all be changed on a scooter? Instead of a thumb throttle, could I replace it with a trigger. Also, im taller could I replace the pole or use an extender? This is my first scooter and will be my primary transportation until I'm done with school. I want to make it comfortable.
Hi Michael,
Typically, we do not recommend replacing tubed tires with tubeless ones, or making other changes that the scooter is not designed for. If you have a Cruiser, yes! You can switch between a twist throttle, thumb throttle, or trigger throttle. However, we can't speak to other models of scooter if you did not purchase with us.
Feel free to reach out to our team at support@voromotors.com if you have any further questions. We're always happy to help!
The solid tire does go bald very fast, my emove touring will wear one smooth in about 300 or so miles , while it will still work and roll down the road it will not have traction, especially on a wet or damp road.
What kind gets the most miles for charge?
Which ever has less weight. Ultimately a solid tire is going to put more strain on the motor and probably use energy more quickly.
Can you put solid tires on a heavy scooter?
Depends some motors have brackets or clamps that are made to be aired up after its put on. I found it nearly impossible to get a solid tire on. And even if same size its impossible to bolt it back together with the bolts because its too big. Solid tire 10 x2.5 and normal tube was 10 x 2.5. Its basically really hard and some don't seem made for solid
Is there an off road or semi off road tyre that you would recommend for the emove cruiser?? I have found a 10 X 3.0 off road and semi off road tyre in Ali express and also a semi off road tyre with spikes on amazon. The only issue I see is swapping the tyre out.
Do the oem tires not work well on trails?
Are solid tires safe at high speed?
No
No, in my opinion solid tires aren't rideable in most cities with bad roads/sidewalks.
I'm sorry I tried watching this video because it looked like it has good information but i struggle with all of the constant movements
can i put a tubeless tire on a mantis pro?
I want to know this also
I've heard you can, but you'll still need to use a tube, since the split rims aren't air tight.
Your grate man thx!
is 25km/hr enuf for no skid idw to fall
Owning and maintaining an electric scooter shop for the past 3 years- Solid tires are great if you are going under 15 mph and they don't heat up. HORRIBLE and will melt or roll off the rim if on a faster scooter or a heavier rider,,, NOT recommended at all for high performance or long ride duration scooters. I have found that a front tire is a good solution for a solid tire if not a drive motor-
What about "foam filled"?
Also, sold tires isn't always fun going over a railroad tracks...ouch
Hi AJ, can you put a tube in a tubeless tires to function correctly? For instance like the emove tires.
No.There is no hole for a valve on the tubeless tire.!
Thankx.... full tires 4 me. 😂❤
I want tubeless and am struggeling to find one in my price point of 2k that can do 40mph
Tubeless with gel are great until you ride too far on a flat & roll tyre off inner rim now you cant reinflate it easy
Yes you can use slime on a tubeless tyre. You won't have to replace the motor as the slime will not enter the motor from inside of the tyre as its a sealed unit. Also slime can be removed easily when dried, just peel it off add a new tyre and refill fresh slime. If you don't believe me then think about this why do they sell slime for car tyres which are tubeless also why do cyclist who go tubless on their push bikes add slime before pumping up the tyres. Its simply will add more protection to your tubeless tyre. Have a look at slime in mtb tubeless tyres on here to see the guy ride over nails yet the tyres are still holding air as the slime blocks the holes.
unfortunately, a lot of stupid people are listening to what this hippie, lib "AJ" from Oregon is mumbling out. Ever look at his FB page? SMH.
You can always add slime to a tubeless tire. If the slime adheres to the rim just cut the tire off. It's only rubber.
Hi William,
You're right! You can do that as well for a tubeless tire.
In fact, as of late, all new tubeless tires for the Cruiser we sell come with self-sealing gel pre-applied: www.voromotors.com/collections/electric-scooter-parts-and-accessories/products/tubeless-tire-emove-cruiser
Put AJ in handcuffs and he wouldn't be able to talk!
AM getting an tube less
I wish they were all solid with better suspension
i want to order that 10inch tubeless tire but im here in korea
We can ship to Korea
I love these videos! They're very informative! However, I would recommend that you take a course on how to present to the camera.
I think he has a very honest and unique style. I just bought a cruiser, and as a customer, I would say don’t change a thing about the presentation. It actually made me feel even better about my purchase ☺️
i have buy an visett 10+ and its a great smart vehicle for every on who dont overweight buy visett9+ you can pun full teir on him
Doing loads of research PRIOR to purchasing a PEV. Tubeless is a no brainer
I had a flat in the front after owning my cruiser for only 9 days. Had the Armor Dilloz red and tried to plug it.
Unfortunately, it did not work the quick patch. I had to get the tire changed. Ordered new tire from Voromotors and get to an authorized repair ( NYC ELECTRIC SCOOTER) changed. Nobody else would touch it and to be honest I don’t want someone to damage the wheel hub. Wish there is a solid tire that also provides a comfortable ride. Changing the tires is a pain in the butt and costly.
how much did it all cost between parts and labor? did NYC Scooter have the tire available? or did you order through voro and have them replace it?
Yes please let us know. I just got one and this would be good information to know
@@salf2858 How much does it cost to replace scooter tires?
The repair shop charges $75/hr for labor and estimates it'll take about 30 minutes. The tire itself is going to be $55 either way. The price ($55 DIY vs ~$95 in the shop). New York City shops!
Damn the voro logo used to be kind of ass lol
I prefer solid tire cuz I gotta flat today and I had to walk home
Sorry to hear you had to do the walk of shame! Solid tires are the most durable, but aren't the most comfortable for long rides -- which is why the majority of our scooters have pneumatic/air-filled tires. Keeping the tires properly inflated can prevent flats and keep your range optimal, but catching a nail sometimes can't be avoided. Best of luck and happy riding!
