Thank you for your service, I've learn much today. Will continue to watch your video channels for I have much to learn about the mechanics of fixing/repairing electric scooter, haha. (Vsett 11+ owner here)
I have a question, on the slime website it says we should use around 10 oz of slime in the solar scooter tires which is a full bottle of slim. Would you recommend that or stuck with what this video says?
Any insight on how to fix my scooter. It shuts down at full send after about 15 seconds and battery icon blinks. But slow acceleration I do go 37mph and it doesn’t shut down.
That was a great presentation and l discovered something that l didn't know with regards to the lock tight something that l will definately use when l take ownership of my new R1 cheers. 🤣👍
I noticed he put the lock tight on the deck nut but the deck of the scooter will need to be removed again at some point in order to get to the battery and controllers especially if there is a problem with the scooter and it needs repairs.
Shouldn’t need to oil any areas - all we suggest is ensure to keep all nuts and bolts tight by checking once every other week or so. Apart from that, all that will need servicing is tyres and brake pads :)
@@SolarScootersuk HI,can you just share the link of the slime which I could buy from Amazon for P1 scooter as am confused which one to get Thankyou Great videos,keeping going 👏
Does solar company do scooter maintenance and sell spares because I want to make my T4 max 600w faster . What can I do ? Do I buy a controller only or buy a controller and motor wheel? My Scooter is 600w 48v and does 45kmh and want to get 60/65kmh ish . Is there a company that boosts up your e scooter.
So when you first get the scooter do you put the slime in the self healing tires before your first ride or do the self healing tires come prefilled with the slime?
hi mate i have a bottle of that slime but mines the 237ml one do i put the full amount in like it says im not sure because your bottle looks bigger than my one
Hi i had a puncture in back of mine ff lite. Pumped it back up nothing.so I just changed the inner tube haha. Mega hard to get off thou. Took me bout hour all in.
I've purchased slime but it's for inner tubes. Do the p1 2.0 have inner tubes or are they tubeles. I've just purchased red label slime which is for inner tubes. I didn't know whether the p1 2.0 has tubes
Fred Assender hi, you do not need to remove the valve core to pump up the tyre. Simply attach the pump securely and pump in the air. Removal of the core is only needed put in the slime.
Also, I've found make a very VERY thing rubber gasket to place between where two pieces of metal touch such as where it folds, and the handle bars when placed it reduces not only the transfer of vibration to your hands, but also takes that damaging force away from the two metals.
The slime doesn’t fix existing punctures. It prevents them from happening. Local Halfords I doubt would fix it - best emailing the team to get it booked in hello@solarscooters.co.uk
Slime can work on existing punctures depending on the size of the puncture (I’ve used it on an e bike puncture and it worked as it should). It can actually work for up to two years on an existing puncture. Also, after you’ve put the slime into the tyre, you shouldn’t use the motor to spin the wheel as centrifugal force will keep the slime in the same spot and not distribute it evenly around the tyre. Best way is to spin the tyre by hand for a minute or two and then go for a ride for a couple of minutes. This distributes the slime far better.
@@benhorwood3921 oh I see? I’ve never heard of the stem shaking. Would you mind emailing our technical team please and letting them know? They’ll be able to assist with this. hello@solarscoorers.co.uk
solar scooter guys seem legit like they are actually decent people making a decent product not just some crappy company just trying to join in the hype and make a quick buck with cheap shitty products
Thank you 🙏🏽 we really do strive to make the best products we can and are constantly improving them also. We are here for the long run - and plan to bring a wide range of exciting future products to market.
Charfred hey! The P1 has tubeless tyres, so it does not have an inner tube! More convenient. We recommend using slime with the P1 it’s amazing stuff, and prevents punctures altogether, and should you do get one, the slime repairs it. Hope that helps 👍🏽
Is that rear tire been mounted backwards ?? This should come by default, the slime n lock stuff, for little money its a plus to set you apart from other brands. Great work, do some FF vids plz :) !!
No the tyre is just how it comes standard. We are looking to have Slime + Locktight a standard on our scooters, just very difficult to get into production process - as quite time consuming in manufacturing terms
The slime glues the tire tube to the shield so if you'll want changing the tire after damaging it you'll have to take it off with the tube. Quite invasive to be doing this by default. But the loctite on stem bolts should be a must in all brands.
@@smoxesss YOU ARE CORRECT...I PUT THE SLIME IN WHEN I GET A FLAT , AFTER I FILL THE TIRE WITH AIR I DRIVE FOR 5 MILES....YOU CAN PUT THE SLIME IN BEFORE YOU GET A FLAT BUT I DON'T, I WAIT TILL I HAVE A FLAT.....
For some reason this is not working for me, it just has a small hole not even 1/2mm it would hard to thread a hair thru it, barely cant see it and green stuff just leaking out for some reason it doesent seal.
I have an Emove cruiser and I have used this on back when tire was low after i hit something that created a small hole on bottom of tire and I just hope it doesn’t leak out on motor and not ruining the rim. I am going to get it plugged soon. The tires are out of stock and other websites take forever to get
@@SolarScootersuk I've put 4 tubes in but it goes flat as soon as I put air in them. I can't figure out how to get it together without hurting the tube.
@@SolarScootersuk Funny.. I own a Hiboy s2 MAX... and man it's super hard to change a tube on the back tire with the motor. They give you a couple inches to pull it out and if you want to move the tire anywhere away you have to take apart all the wires. There is no slack. So that stinks. Only 1 week old and a flat already
That would be ideal… although this would add immense time and cost to the product having to do this with every nut and bolt. No other escooter company does this either for that reason.
@@SolarScootersuk I weirdly did, but very helpful at the same time! I should have a P1 Pro coming today as I'm trading my scooter for one which is practically brand new. I'll be upgrading to your new self sealing tyres once I've worn these ones down
@@SolarScootersuk thanks for replying,I can get them off at home but getting the new ones on is impossible,I’m damaging the rim keep trying to force it,I’ve tried to put the old one back on to get it running till I find a tyre place but can’t get it it to sit properly on the rim to inflate lol gonna take the L and find a garage
@@robbeveridge9799 I couldn’t find anyone local either. But solar they do provide the service to change tyre. I’ve sent my motor to Solar to get it changed and they sent back once it’s done in one day
Same here I took it to 8 different tire garage places in my local area and not one of them could take it off or have the small tools to add to the machine which takes them of it was a nightmare had to send it back to solar scooters in the end
Fred Assender it will temporarily fix the puncture, but we would still recommend replacing the tyre. The Slime is more of a preventative measure for punctures, rather than a permanent fix to existing ones. We sell replacement tyres on our website at: www.solarscooters.co.uk Hope that helps!

That's really good advice, thank you. Let's just hope that the law around using scooters will become common sense.
Great shout.
Thanks for this quick maintenance care review blessings from Florida
Does slime work for both tube tires and tubeless equally?
Yes 🙌
I’m just curious if you guys recommend this why wouldn’t it be pre installed before people get their scooters.
I have a question, on the slime website it says we should use around 10 oz of slime in the solar scooter tires which is a full bottle of slim. Would you recommend that or stuck with what this video says?
yes i bought some of that slime the other week and i allways have a bottle in my backpak with my electric pump

They now come self healing as standard. No need for slime - this is an old video.

Can I use other brands of sealant a motorcycle tire sealant aside from slime?
