      I want to install air tires to reduce the feeling of all the bumps on the road. How do I do? There is no place for the valve on my wheels

    • @AndiWofford
      @AndiWofford  3 года назад

      You'd most likely have to notch out a hole on the rim, but you're going to compromise the rim. So I'd try to purchase a wheel that supports air tires

    Three flat tires on the rear tire of my Hover 1 led me here. I’m not mechanical, so needed some help. Really helped with assembly and disassembly, thank you. I boiled the tire 2x and no way could I get that tire on the rim. Wrong tools, wrong leverage. However, the fellas down at World Famous Mike’s Bikes (motorcycle shop) in Queen Creek AZ were able to pretty quickly. The right tools make the difference, for sure. For all y’all that got this on by yourself, kudos.

      If a tire was hard to get on it usually boils down to heat. A really good way is gloves and a microwave. Heat it 1 min, flip, 1 min, flip, 1min and then put it on the edge of a work bench. I was able to stretch it right on then. Then just make sure both walls are aligned properly and use a lever to help pop it on if needed.
      Heat is the best way to make it easier, without that i would have a very hard time

    Thanks! Your tutorial helped me a great deal. Took me about an hour to first get the old tire to come off (idk why but it was the hardest) and then replace it with a new one. Boiled the rubber and managed to wrap it around the wheel with just bare hands and two large screwdrivers to center the tyre later. Took some serious effort but was definitely worth it. The repair shop where I live overcharges for the service. It can be done so don't give up people!

    Hi Andi,
    Thank you for tutorial. I have to add that for 365pro front wheel is far more difficult to work with and riding on solid tires are less comfortable , more battery consuming , I have this feeling like riding on flat tire and is more slippery especially on wet surfaces. Despite it , In my opinion , replace is sensible solution.

    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.

    Thanks for the helpful video, just ordered everything, just one question: some Amazon reviews say that boiling the tire indoors is overpowering, is this true? Did you just heat the thing up in your kitchen?

    • @AndiWofford
      @AndiWofford  4 года назад +2

      If you check out the front tire video, you can see that I boiled it outside ( ruclips.net/video/dzsgjCj397c/видео.html ) - but you can do it inside. I woudln't reccomend it if you have the capacity to boil it outside though.

    Thanks for your video, must have watched it 3 times during my repair! I have another tire to replace the front wheel as well, but I'm worried bc I won't be able to use the zip tie trick, since that wheel is the solid motor one.

      @@AndiWofford I got the front tire on just by boiling the tire 15 mins, putting Vaseline on the rim and tire, I sat the rim flat on my wood w the cable side down, and worked the tire on over the top. Definitely had to secure it with my knees and it took a lot more muscle than w the zip ties, but the Vaseline was a game changer. Didn't use any dish soap. One RUclips video recommended microwaving the tire for 3 mins w breaks every minute. DO NOT do that! Less than 90s and a hole burnt in the tire. Stick with boiling! GL and thanks again!

    the mount for rim setup you have is good. but all that effort to stretch the tire is crazy. How about with current setup of using a zip tie one side of the rim, your mount. Just insert a metal rod into one of the holes on the opposite end of the tire. attach a ratchet strap on the rod and secure the strap to something firm. Start tightening and when the tire stretches just use the flat bar to slide the rest of the tire in. You may need 2 flat bars to make this easier.
