I got mine done about 5 days ago, it was a pain in as5 and had to get someone else to help me hold one of the spoons. 3 total spoons and some patience I got it done. Thanks for the video
THANK YOU... genuine video including issues. Most companies I've seen previously have these fake ass videos under "perfect" conditions which winds me up when I see them
getting the tire back onto the rim has proved to be LITERALLY impossible. I do not understand how in this video a person working alone managed to get this f*cker back in place TWICE.
I just replaced the rear tire on my cruiser. It was a bitch. First, do it at waist level. Stabilize the scooter. NOW, what I made helped greatly. I took two pieces of 2x4s about 2 feet long and nailed them together stacked up. Then in the middle I drilled a hole the same size as the hub bolt. This at least stabilized the damned thing. You need to use 2 spoons at 3 and 9 o clock and work them toward you. This is on the top side of the tire. I had to almost stick my spoons all the way into the tire to continue getting leverage as I went. I ended up slightly bending the thin cheesy rim. After I inflated the tire I sprayed Windex around where the rim meets the tire. Where it bent a few little bubbles were showing. I pounded the rim down w a rubber mallet. No more leaks. Honesty those pieces of wood saved the day.
WHOOOOOO! I just got done replacing the rear tire. Let me tell you, it SUCKED, and I've worked on BMW engines for tens of hours before. I highly suggest you use STRONG household butterknives, as the automotive tire spoons I bought were just too thick (I used 4 knives, yes FOUR!) I placed my new tire in the oven and left it in there for roughly 30min at 250°F. I pulled out out, scalding to the touch, and slightly smoking. I quickly started putting the tire on the rear motor using only the knives, a small pry tool, and some dishsoap as lube. (and work gloves!) After you put the tire halfway on, seating it on the cable side, turn your attention to the non-cable side. Start working the tire on, and under the rim with the knives. The first starting knife you will leave in place, the second knife start a couple inches away, working the tire over the rim. Insert a third knife a couple more inches past the second knife, and work the tire over. Now grab the second knife and leapfrog the third knife, working the tire over some more. Rinse & repeat leapfrogging the 2nd & 3rd knives while still holding the 1st starting knife in place (all the knives will want to start letting go, losing your tire progress, so you have to hold them HARD, using your gut or a friend to help) By the very least few inches of tire still left to work over the rim, it will be INCREDIBLY hard, and you may have to insert the 4th knife, right next to the last knife, to help work the tire over, as one single strong knife, and keep leapfrogging these two last knives right beside each other, until the tire is fully seated! When I did it, I was SOOO happy! Albiet, the tire bead was all beat-up, and so was the cruiser rim with scratches & marks everywhere. Take the cruiser & newly fitted tire over to an air compressor. You'll need IMMENSE pressure (like 120psi) to blow the new tire bead into place (because the tire might not be sitting correctly on the side you worked with the knives) LUBE the tire bead & rim with some more dish soap (you can press your fingers on the tire to let lube drip through) and then CAREFULLY blow high-pressure air into the tire until you watch the tire expand & properly seat the bead! Now blow air into the tire to set the correct pressure, and then look/listen for leaks (dish soap lube will show bubbles where leaks are, or just listen for hissing) Is it holding air? CONGRATS!! Good job! 👏😄 If you haven't done it yet, it might be easier to take it to an e-scooter shop or lawn tractor mechanic, as they may have experience tackling a small tire change. If you really wanna test your skills, try changing the tire yourself. YOU CAN DO IT! You need to get that scooter running! I hope I NEVER do it again!! Godspeed.
Went through this and some comments.....first, it is a pain. It is not easy. If you don't have, get some of those spoon tools (3 would be good) because you're going to need them to get the tire on and off. An extra hand will help (and their knee on the tire once you get part of it on). Start with the front tire, because compared to the back one it's easier. The back one isn't going more than a few inches from the scooter because of the power cable for the motor unlike the front where you can work on it anywhere. Also, the axle doesn't come out so you can't lay it flat. A brick or something like that will help keep it flat on one side. Something that isn't mentioned in this video that I ran into....when you tighten the bolts on the back wheel, you can just continue to tighten until it moves the forks inward and change the location of the disc brake where it needs to be in relation to the brake itself. So you can't over tighten. But, what I ran into was getting it tightened at the perfect spot, the bolts did not stay tight. After 5 miles of driving they were loose. Obviously not a good thing. I used locktite (like you have to use on the folding mechanism scews or they are gone after one trip) to keep it in place. If you can take it to a Voro location, you'd be better off. Although a scooter or bike store might be able to put the tires on, not so sure they will be on top of the brakes or the issue with the bolts.
Very nice detail instructions. Can the electrical wire be easily disconnected for place the tire on a tire changer? Is there a service manual available? Thank you.
Scooter tyres may puncture often. You may need to repair it on site. It is not always possible to have a clean work bench to put the scooter on and work with it. This thing is really a nightmare. I don't want to return home by public transport or taxi because of a flat.
Hey Osman, I'm sorry to hear you're having this issue with your Cruiser. Flat tires can happen, but proper maintenance and preparation helps prevent this. Still, they do happen. We now have tires pre-treated with a gel inside that makes them more resilient to puncture you can find here: www.voromotors.com/products/tubeless-tire-emove-cruiser. However, if you are having particular troubles with this, feel free to reach out to our team at support@voromotors.com and I'm sure we can help!
Yeah it’s going to cost me money for them to fix it for me: I have a $500 bicycle that is very hard to remove the tube off tire and had to get them to do it for small labor price
It looks harder then it is, really, also they kinda killed the inner part of the paint with that screwdriver, use plastic tools, not metal tools when removing the tire, also pump it back up before u assemble it back on the scooter to check if its leaking.
Great video. Your video really gave me great insights into the parts and how they work together. I was wondering where I can get what you called the "lock pin" washers (around 2:33rd minute) on both sides that hold the rear tires in place from sliding out of place.
I just wanted the video on how to replace the back tire. I was very concerned, but we did it in about a half hour. FIrst thing i would recommend which came from another post here is that 3 to 4 strong butter knives can do the trick. Also get some clamps, those are key and if you can, get one friend to help you out. Also grease up the tire before putting it on or use dishwasher soap.
Hi there! We actually do sell a tire sealant that we highly recommend, Dr. Orange, which we find works particularly well with our scooters, tubed and tubeless alike. You can find it on our website here: www.voromotors.com/products/doctor-orange-tire-sealant Hope this helps!
It is very involved, however if you follow their recommendations, you can do it with minimal _cussiing_ ....especially if you have an extra set of hands! Solid tires are the worst ride ever! Using some liquid soap on that rubber can help when installing the tire. Letting the tire sit out in the hot sun for a while will allow the tire to install easier.
This project will make you wish you had solid tires. Filling the tire alone is a all day project you will need high pressure compressor to seat the bead. Careful with the valve on the rear if you damage the valve as I did repeat the process and good luck finding that rear valve I think it's a off size but a 1 inch works but seems about 1/8 shorter than the original valve. 1 and a quarter won't fit in thru the back. It's already a pain finding a fitting to fill the rear tire I had to grind the smallest one I could find or use a valve extender just for adding air. There are a lot of bad design problems on the emove cruiser.
This is absolutely impossible, even with a spoon or tire irons!!!🤬 Going on day TWO of trying to get the tire back on!!! Even the local tire shop won't touch it!!!
This reminds me of my ninebot max scooter man that was the hardest tire I had ever worked on n my life just getting it off the rim and putting it back on was a pain n the ass and dnt get me started with putting air n the tires
I had same headaches as your ninebot max tires, except with Xiaomi M365 air tires. The day I changed to solid tires was the best. Much easier to change tires, but I rarely have to, not in 6 months.
I have a Nanrobot X4 2.0 and they are telling me that the rear motor tyre can't be replaced and that I have to buy a brand new motor. The motor hub looks just like this one but an 8" - 2x50mm tyre. Wonder if I can just change the tyre just like it is done here. Already found the tyre..
It cannot be any more complicated. I'm afraid I would damage the ring ($300). I'll take the tire and the motor to be put back together to a bike store; hopefully, they can do this.
Hi Oscar, Thanks for commenting! I'm sorry to hear you've been having trouble with this process. While we do try to make our videos as comprehensive as possible, we understand that certain kinds of maintenance aren't for everyone. If you do need assistance with this, please feel free to reach out to our team at support@voromotors.com, or, if you are local, feel free to bring your scooter in to one of our locations. We're always happy to help.
How do I know if the tire is sealed on properly? I replaced the rear recently but it won't hold air and I can hear hissing. As I spin the tire though it gets wider on one side and thinner on the other. Part of the print on the side walls starts to dip into the rim where it's thinner. It looks to be completely on though.
yeah tbh..definitely worth the $40 my local bike shop is going to charge me to do this. 2nd tire replacement in 5 mos.. all the sealants that other e scooter owners have said works, suck. So just gonna use some 2 in 1 Slime that they use in motorcycles. Hopefully I'll get better performance.
Took 6 hours because i couldnt get the brakes right. The disk break is the worst, it kept scraping against pads i had to take the wheel off and reassemble the brake. What a head ache!! but it saved me 5 days and 100$ labor cost.
Maybe, but it’s a similar procedure for putting it back on so the practice will benefit you. One thing they don’t mention is that lubricant near the rim helps a lot.
@@Mr.Mellowski True, soap water will be better - lubricant is quite messy and you have to clean it afterwards. Our technicians decided to go without the lubricant, tire spoons make the process really easy.
Cutting although seems like the easiest route, but the tires are very tough. So for example: 1. If you are cutting it horizontally, you will find it difficult to pull the tire apart 2. If you are cutting it vertically, you will take about 5 minutes to cut through with a really good pair of scissors Both options take 5 -10 minutes, if you follow the tutorial closely before attempting, you will take about 5-10 minutes as well.
Don't do this, I tried it with a motorcycle tire when I was a younger lad and it was not a good idea. What I didn't think about is that edge of the tire that sits in the rim(bead?) is made up of strands of wire and rubber. Its really strong and hard to cut. You will likely damage the rim worse than you will with all the rage spooning. There is a lubricant for this task called Ru-Glyde. The lubricant is supposedly better because it doesn't re-lubricate like soap does when it gets wet again. I've used it on Motorcycle and its amazing for tough tires. I also always warm the new and old tire in the sun to make my life easier.
Has anyone replaced the bearings on these wheels? I'm not having much success with a puller or as other videos have suggested pushing them out from the opposite side.
Only when you replace the tyre. For flats there's a tyre plug that does not require any disasembly and can be done in minutes. Tubless tires are amazing.
This video is nothing like replacing an actual tire for the scooter. They just show them taking the old one off and putting the old one back on, the new tires are nothing like the old ones much wider and have to be formed to the rim 10x as hard
completely missed out actually inflating the tyre. getting the bead to seal can be the most difficult part sometimes, not even mentioned in this video at all.
It took me 2 hours, I was able to wedge one spoon in and leave it while I pried the other one in, then left that on while I too the other out and just keep doing that
Jesse Carver Naa I tried a lot hard.. couldn’t do it I even ordered tools from Amazon. Anyhow I ended up giving it to the repair shop and picked it up after 1 month or more.
This what I'm looking for , but not on this scooter.. Mine is much bigger 3000 watt. This can't be right. Changing the tire, with the motor on? That's retarded.
Can anybody tell me the size of the bolts/nuts @ 10:13 (the ones that hold the front tire on) I have lost one of mine... i would like to order more from a hardware store but i dont know the size of the bolt/nut
Hi Damir, Screws get loose on all types of electric scooters. However, all the Cruiser now comes with screws already loctite in them. Hope this is helpful!
@@VoroMotors yes thanks for answer..i didnt sure video was before a few months or more where i see some review on youtube with problem oon screw loose.... Now is solved then need after few drives or few hundred km to tight or is not need to do this because of locktit?
@@VoroMotors I live in NYC where the streets are absolutely horrid. I don't want to deal with constant flats. If there's a way to get solid tires on here, I will get the cruiser. Please let me know, thanks!
@@olivercromwel True, but tubeless is a good as anyone can get at 10 inch. There is a reason why no scooters are 10 inch solid. These tubeless tires are very thick and hard to puncture. If it can puncture the tire, it most likely is going to puncture a car tire as well. Hope this is helpful!
That's what I am doing rn. Also, putting a tire back on is so frustrating! And what makes me even more mad is that this video shows us how a pro doing it all with like 0 tips for us
Not any sort of official way that we can recommend. If you want a dual motor you should jut buy a dual motor. We have one on the way if that is your goal!
Automotive tire shops use a soapy water solution around the bead of the tire any reason you don't? It really makes installation and removal much easier. Also, any. reason you don't inflate tire before mounting to the scooter because if you don't get a good seal you'll have to remove and install again. IF you don't get a seal use try using a ratchet strap they're pretty cheap and work great (there are RUclips videos showing what it is and how to do it). My biggest concern it damaging the wire going to the motor while changing the rear tire (might be a good idea to duct tape where the wire goes into motor) also pushing the extra cable back into scooter...use a little SILICONE grease it will help with pushing the cable back into battery housing. One more thing "tire shield"? Buy a cheap frisbee.
It's been weeks and every time I attempt to put the tire back in it gets really frustrating because it keeps coming off. It honestly makes me regret buying this scooter. I ended up just buying another one with a split rim design.
At 10:04 it says to be mindful of the washer on the brake unit, but when he puts it back together again he does not put that washer back in. I notice I don't have that washer at all, so I assume is a bit optional and just for spacing/alignment?
Mine is way harder to put on than what this showed. Not impressed with this design. I’ve gone through three tires, ruining then trying to get this darn thing on. This sucks.
changing tire is not as easy as it looks... have had my scooter for over a year... and already have replace the tire 3 times... and every time it was a 2 or 3 hour struggle to get the new tire on.... plugs only last so long... id rather a tube tire or a split rim design... much much easier... great scooter but for this reason alone i wont recommend...
I will advise people if u want to change the tire because its to hard for u to change it urself just go to ur local tire shop or car shop or scooter shop and have them do it for u its going to cost u at least 30 or 40 bucks though
So basically I can't fix a flate on the side of the road unless I have a fancy stand/ bench and a backpack filled with tools/ where as my bike I can fix a flate with one wrench and a spare tube and small pump in 10 min or less.
Its basically the same in regards to repairing with the tubed tires. The rate of puncture on the tubeless is way lower than tubed tires, which is basically a balloon inside your tires that get punctured very easily
@@VoroMotors I spoke with your online support team about this as I'm familiar with tubless bike tires and run a latest based sealant in them I will be doing the same with your product as I dont wanna get stranded. I also use plugs for large punctures in an emergency
Omg the host of the video is extremely cringey just saying. And this looks very complicated and dangerous, you even admit yourself that being a little too rough can cause undoable damage. But yet you still showed us to do it this way. Does that mean if I mess up my rim by following YOUR instructions, is that still covered under warranty?
I got mine done about 5 days ago, it was a pain in as5 and had to get someone else to help me hold one of the spoons. 3 total spoons and some patience I got it done.
Thanks for the video
Man this was the hardest shit I’ve ever done

Honesty those pieces of wood saved the day.
good to know its possible, i just hit a huge nail today and my back tire is toast
I did the same with the wood, a life saver!

What a nightmare solid tires next scooter

Both options take 5 -10 minutes, if you follow the tutorial closely before attempting, you will take about 5-10 minutes as well.
Don't do this, I tried it with a motorcycle tire when I was a younger lad and it was not a good idea. What I didn't think about is that edge of the tire that sits in the rim(bead?) is made up of strands of wire and rubber. Its really strong and hard to cut. You will likely damage the rim worse than you will with all the rage spooning. There is a lubricant for this task called Ru-Glyde. The lubricant is supposedly better because it doesn't re-lubricate like soap does when it gets wet again. I've used it on Motorcycle and its amazing for tough tires. I also always warm the new and old tire in the sun to make my life easier.
Has anyone replaced the bearings on these wheels? I'm not having much success with a puller or as other videos have suggested pushing them out from the opposite side.
That process seems a little daunting for my 220sf apartment. I wonder how often this repair needs to be made.
Only when you replace the tyre. For flats there's a tyre plug that does not require any disasembly and can be done in minutes. Tubless tires are amazing.
@@slick1908 Good tip. Now let's see if we can get AJ to demo.
I got a flat on my first 8 minutes of unboxing
This video is nothing like replacing an actual tire for the scooter. They just show them taking the old one off and putting the old one back on, the new tires are nothing like the old ones much wider and have to be formed to the rim 10x as hard
Awesome video
I was hoping you'd show me if the stem was damaged, what then?
I have a xtrack gt cant find any videos on it but i noticed its exactly the same as kugoo m4 was wondering if tires are same size on both
10x3inch I bought one says psi50 came with a innertube :(😞😓
wondering if there are off-road tire available ?
completely missed out actually inflating the tyre. getting the bead to seal can be the most difficult part sometimes, not even mentioned in this video at all.
Man I got the tire off but its extremely hard to put the new one in!!! what to do??
It took me 2 hours, I was able to wedge one spoon in and leave it while I pried the other one in, then left that on while I too the other out and just keep doing that
Jesse Carver Naa I tried a lot hard.. couldn’t do it I even ordered tools from Amazon. Anyhow I ended up giving it to the repair shop and picked it up after 1 month or more.
Zip ties!
If you're having problems setting the bead, use hot glue around the rim and high psi
Why not remove the hub motor from the rim? Do you recommend tire slime?
This what I'm looking for , but not on this scooter.. Mine is much bigger 3000 watt. This can't be right. Changing the tire, with the motor on? That's retarded.
Should you put slime inside the tire?
Can anybody tell me the size of the bolts/nuts @ 10:13 (the ones that hold the front tire on)
I have lost one of mine... i would like to order more from a hardware store but i dont know the size of the bolt/nut
Question..what with loose screws after few drives?
Locktit or what to do??i hear this is problem on this model can you explain??
Hi Damir,
Screws get loose on all types of electric scooters.
However, all the Cruiser now comes with screws already loctite in them.
Hope this is helpful!
@@VoroMotors yes thanks for answer..i didnt sure video was before a few months or more where i see some review on youtube with problem oon screw loose....
Now is solved then need after few drives or few hundred km to tight or is not need to do this because of locktit?
Where did u get the clamp?
Where can I find me a technician to replace my tire
How do I replace bearings? Mine broke after 100miles
mine wont hold air only rode it like 50 miles and wont hold more than 20 psi.
Like a Boss!
Any way to get solid tires on here?
Why compromise? 10 inch solid tires on 25mph will feel rough on your feet
@@VoroMotors I live in NYC where the streets are absolutely horrid. I don't want to deal with constant flats. If there's a way to get solid tires on here, I will get the cruiser. Please let me know, thanks!
@@olivercromwel True, but tubeless is a good as anyone can get at 10 inch.
There is a reason why no scooters are 10 inch solid. These tubeless tires are very thick and hard to puncture.
If it can puncture the tire, it most likely is going to puncture a car tire as well.
Hope this is helpful!
@@VoroMotors That is helpful, thanks!
Two tools to mention: scooter riser (stool), and a table height work bench).
Fixing this on the floor would be urgh!
That's what I am doing rn. Also, putting a tire back on is so frustrating! And what makes me even more mad is that this video shows us how a pro doing it all with like 0 tips for us
Have one. Tire is damn near impossible to get on. I regret getting this scooter
Is it possible to install a motor on the front?
Not any sort of official way that we can recommend. If you want a dual motor you should jut buy a dual motor. We have one on the way if that is your goal!
Automotive tire shops use a soapy water solution around the bead of the tire any reason you don't? It really makes installation and removal much easier. Also, any. reason you don't inflate tire before mounting to the scooter because if you don't get a good seal you'll have to remove and install again. IF you don't get a seal use try using a ratchet strap they're pretty cheap and work great (there are RUclips videos showing what it is and how to do it). My biggest concern it damaging the wire going to the motor while changing the rear tire (might be a good idea to duct tape where the wire goes into motor) also pushing the extra cable back into scooter...use a little SILICONE grease it will help with pushing the cable back into battery housing.
One more thing "tire shield"? Buy a cheap frisbee.
How do you know if it's sealed properly? I am trying to pump it but it won't hold air. I'm afraid I damaged the motor.
They make it so much more harder then it really is.
I'm looking for a video about flat repairs on these tubeless scooter tires. Plug or patch? I'd rather not use that stupid slime stuff
plug works just fine
I think i’ll just take mine to an authorized repair shop.
This right here!!!!
wish i had that option. someone rich open a repair shop in lincoln, Ne
@@sagemoonchild333 where you live at? price?
What pressure do you inflate the tires at?
45 psi
VOROMOTORS the rear tire says 35psi. By this comment, is it ok to go up to 45psi?
@@VoroMotors The tire says 35psi cold?
@@devarhalux7990 I do 40, 45 is to hard of a ride.
You need to spray dish soap to make it easier.
Very poor engineering to change tire
Dont use an adjustable wrench get a correct sized wring spanner or socket
First 20 miles and first blow out and new motor bent. On the new 2021 summer edition
how long did this take it real time?
I’ve done it and it’s taken me around 15 minutes without the clamp, just the tire spoons.
@@Mr.Mellowski ok, thanks.
@@UninvitedGuestSpeaker Our technicians can do it under 5 minutes now. Practice makes perfect!
@@VoroMotors ok, got it. thanks.
It's been weeks and every time I attempt to put the tire back in it gets really frustrating because it keeps coming off. It honestly makes me regret buying this scooter. I ended up just buying another one with a split rim design.
I find using work frustration/rage helps in muscling the tire on the rim.
intense
How can i making pumser
At 10:04 it says to be mindful of the washer on the brake unit, but when he puts it back together again he does not put that washer back in. I notice I don't have that washer at all, so I assume is a bit optional and just for spacing/alignment?
he did put them back 13:51
Does anyone know the psi for the front/back tires?
45 psi
@@pace6394 Thanks👍
Why remove the brake / fender >_> no talk about seating bead :(
Mine is way harder to put on than what this showed. Not impressed with this design. I’ve gone through three tires, ruining then trying to get this darn thing on. This sucks.
AMAZING How Watching A Short "HOW TO VIDEO" Can Make Such A Difference In Repairing My EV
THX GUYS!
... MARK "OG ON ELECTRIC WHEELS"
How much this scooter?
$1,399.99 if it's your first time buying you can use a coupon code to drop the price.
Not so easy just like u mention! When you remove the caliper you have to align it so it wont rub the rotor disc. U sounded like its easy.
Let's see how this goes.
Dude this is the worst tire replacement in the world please voro step up the game on this problem really hard to change
changing tire is not as easy as it looks... have had my scooter for over a year... and already have replace the tire 3 times... and every time it was a 2 or 3 hour struggle to get the new tire on.... plugs only last so long... id rather a tube tire or a split rim design... much much easier... great scooter but for this reason alone i wont recommend...
Oh boy. Came here looking for a solution and turned out it's just a b**** in general!
I will advise people if u want to change the tire because its to hard for u to change it urself just go to ur local tire shop or car shop or scooter shop and have them do it for u its going to cost u at least 30 or 40 bucks though
They might know how to put a tire on, but not sure I trust they would assemble everything else back properly.
Just use zip ties to put it on so much easier and 10x faster
Please elaborate on this 🙏 😭
made me cringe seeing an adjustable wrench sloppily used on axle nuts.....and driving axle home with metal hammer
I was thinking the same thing, you can even see the wrench slide off/round the bolt at one point.
menteur nous somme a 3 a faire ça on y arrive pas on a du scier le pneu malheureusement j'arrive pas a mettre le nouveau pneu-
So basically I can't fix a flate on the side of the road unless I have a fancy stand/ bench and a backpack filled with tools/ where as my bike I can fix a flate with one wrench and a spare tube and small pump in 10 min or less.
Its basically the same in regards to repairing with the tubed tires. The rate of puncture on the tubeless is way lower than tubed tires, which is basically a balloon inside your tires that get punctured very easily
@@VoroMotors I spoke with your online support team about this as I'm familiar with tubless bike tires and run a latest based sealant in them I will be doing the same with your product as I dont wanna get stranded. I also use plugs for large punctures in an emergency
@@grahamtyrie4805 Tire plugs are definitely a good idea!
You forgot food. You'll be there a long time.
Stupidest fucking process 😤 I regret buying this thing
put the tire in boiling hot soapy water and u can manhandle it
Can you elaborate on this please 🙏
Awful. The wheel is too easy to ruin the seal. Never buying another product from voro.
That rear tyre looks like a bitch! 🤨
Omg the host of the video is extremely cringey just saying. And this looks very complicated and dangerous, you even admit yourself that being a little too rough can cause undoable damage. But yet you still showed us to do it this way. Does that mean if I mess up my rim by following YOUR instructions, is that still covered under warranty?
Dude, come up with something better. This is some bullshit
