Well-spoken. CLEAR. English. I'm shocked. Most of these video use "high octane" unbearable, death-in-your-ears-music that force you to close the video due to sheer annoyance.
The reason I am here is because I needed to know how to remove the tires, I am installing some of those puncture proof tube liners they make for mountain bike tires, just cut them down to size and install them front and rear on my D5+, it can't hurt, and will make them virtually puncture proof, or at least a lot harder to puncture. Thanks for the video
My video explains pretty thoroughly how to remove the tire but i would advise you to be careful how you put in the liner because it could cause an imbalance in your tires at higer speeds. The reason why the use them in bicycle tires because they go slower and the circumference of the tire is a lot bigger.
@@wattsinyours True, I might have that solved, just have to make sure they are cut so that both end pieces touch but don't overlap or underlap. so if I take a measurement of the circumference of the inside of the tire, cut the liner to specs and use a drop contact cement or a drop of silicone on each end until it sets, so it stays in place while you install the tube. I will try this and get back to you on the stability issues if I have any. Thanks for the warning.
Thanks for your videos. They are helpful. Could you do one on brakes settings (both hardware and "software") and maintenance ? My own D4+ 2.0 can't stand a daily 20 km ride without brake maintenance. Brake pads seem to wear at lightning-speed or screws are loosening. I started using motor brake (P9 set to 1 instead of the factory 0) then P9 to 2 (which is not a more powerful brake, but a motor brake that triggers sooner) but it seems to damage my rear motor or making it heat enough so that it stops running (as if I had pushed the "single/dual" button). Well. I need wise advice on this. I have to tell at 4:41 you unfortunately put the new tube upside down. The valve is heading to the brake disc side. It should be pointing the other side of the wheel. As a result, at 13:30 when you release it after inflating it, the valve smacks down to the wheel when it should have stayed pointing outwards. This tube won't last for sure.
Thanks for watching and pointing that out. Which i did adjust. So i did do a break adjustment video i cant remember if it was on the d4 or my d5 but either way its in my library and the process is exactly the same. I dont know why your going through your breaks so quick. I do know they don't have a lot of pad on them and are relatively cheap to replace, but you shouldn't go through them that fast. Maybe after a proper adjustment they will last longer. Also make sure that most or all of the pad is gripping on the break rotor. Hopefully this helps. Let me know how it goes. Thanks.
I need to change a tire on the front wheel of my d5+ 1.0. I see you got a d5+ recently. Can you make a video or tell me the steps. Would it be the same for a d4+? Thanks!
Thanks for that! The third time I rode my new D4+2.0 I got a flat! Not sure of the cause as yet, and as I'm not where the scooter is I'll have to get a few bits 'n bobs to cover all my options for when I get back to it... It seems an after-market innertube would be a good start given the OEM one is poor quality, some slime, and file would be a good idea!
Are those lugnuts to a Honda Civic sized rim on your tires? If they are ur a genius 😜 I have bin sliming my tires every 6 months before summer and before winter haven't gotten a flat yet and I have eaten two nails and both times what I did to field repair was with my little emergency bike hand pump added a few extra psi to the tires before pulling out the nail with the pliers of my multi tool and the extra pressure did work to push the slime out quickly sealing the hole I haven't yet to hit a nail it the nail not get stuck in the tire idk if the slime is allso adding extra grab on the nails when they go in but I assume if I didn't have enough pressure in the tube it would not seal so quickly or even at all
Looks like you're a pioneer! The first video of its kind that I could find. I noticed on the Nanrobot website that they have D4+ 2.0 front tire and rear tires, and on Amazon they sell just "D4+ tire" (no specification for front / back). Did you notice while you were replacing this tire that there was any sort of difference between the front and back tires? Did you get the replacement tubes from Nanrobot?
You can use basically any inner tube with the same dimensions as the one in the video. And no I ordered the inner tubes off of Amazon. Quicker shipping and seems to be better quality.
hello good I want to ask you a question I have a D6 because the air chamber deflates every so often, I check it and it has a minimum hole on one side, I mean, it drills it then I put a new air chamber and it continues the same I roll like 20 min and then deflated a little hole you will know what the problem is, thank you very much
Yeah it is a pain to do it. You have to disconnect the motor wires from inside the deck and pull the wires out. That is the only way to get the brake rotor off after you remove the tire. Make sure you note where the wires colors connect that way you don't reverse polarity.
The link in the description took me to a street tire (I'm assuming both scooters take the same size tube) but wanted to ask if the street tires are compatible with the D4+ & D5+... could you put street tires on the D4 + 2.0..?
Thanks for responding to my question. I appreciate it. I'm still trying to decide on which scooter to buy. I'd like a 30 mph scooter with at least a 30 mile range. Is it possible to get one for a thousand bucks?
Sorry I don't know of any for 1k that will go 30 for 30. Scooters that go that range and speed tend to be a little better in quality and the battery has to be much bigger. The battery is where most of the cost is. Good luck on your search and if i see any to recommend i will give you a shout. Maybe secondary could be an option.
@@wattsinyours I'm not sure what you mean by secondary... As a side note I think I found "my" scooter. The Speedway Mini 4 Pro looks like the one. They are saying around 25 mph for 30 miles. It's $1059.
@@MarkDavidBlack "secondary" i mean a used one. Also on the speedway just remember my 10 to 20 percent rule. What ever the manufacture specs are take 10 to 20 percent off because they are usually over inflated. EX: If it says it tops out at 25mph then it probably will actually go about 20mph. If that is something that you can live with then your good. But there are a lot of scooters out there that will do 20mph for less than 1k. Check out the Joyor scooters. You might like them.
Funny you mention that because was just talking about it the other day. Apparently it's pretty good stuff. I might give it a try. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
I have a d4 but not the 2.0. Very similar. I have a problem with flat tires on the back. I’ve swapped out the tire a half a dozen times in the past 3 months. I keep getting different quality, price tubes and it doesn’t seem to make much difference. I even ordered the $40 directly from Nanrobot. I was getting a few weeks out of it for awhile but it got down to a day or two on the last few. I just quit riding. Any ideas you might have as to why I keep getting the flats? I’m gonna try the filing around the valve stem hole that you recommended in this video, but any other ideas? I may not be getting the bolts as tight as you seem to be. Could that be it? Do you think there might be sharp edges on the motor? I’m desperate.
wattsinyours That’s right. The inter tube. I saved several of the tubes so I need to get them in some water and figure out where it’s getting holes, as I’m sure that would be your next question.
@@hunterhamilton7785 lol yep. If it is in the same or similar area i would assume that there is something on the split ring rim thats poking a hole in your innertubes. Im sure you have considered this but that would be the next step. Once you find the thing that jabbing into you tube it's easy enough to file that down bc its alluminum. I know when i got a flat the rim made the problem worse bc of the jagged edges around the valve hole. If you find the issue i would appreciate it if you keep me in the loop. It would definitely help out others riders with similar issues.
wattsinyours surely will update if I figure it out. Let me ask you, would loose bolts be the cause? I tighten them pretty good but I’ve found that sometimes after riding for a while they work their way loose. One of the flats I experienced, I noticed one of the bolts was missing and I needed to retrace my ride a few 100 feet to find it.
I've seen people put slim in the tube to help with punchers but if you put foam in there it will cause an imbalance of the tire and it will probably vibrate off the rim at 30mph. I would advise against it.
Maybe if you had one hole in the middle of the tube, but my problem is when i got the flat it messed up the rubber around the innertube valve and was leaking around there. Those tubes you can find really cheap on Amazon for like 10 bucks a pair so really not worth repairing in my opinion.
Hey man, thank you for making these tutorials, they are very helpful. Would you happen to know if the inner tube size for the d5+ 2.0 is also 10x2.125? Reason I ask is because the outside of the tire on my d5+ 2.0 reads 10x2.50 and I haven't had a chance to take mine apart yet (would make since that the inner tube is supposed to be slightly smaller than the outer, but I'm not sure...). Also, someone wrote a review on these tubes saying they did not work with their d5+ because the "valve nipples are at an angle from plane of tire". From the pics on Amazon it doesn't seem like it the angle would render them incompatible but I guess we'll find out.
This honestly doesn't look that hard to change compared to the traditional method of using tire levers for a bicycle wheel. Yes there are tools that are needed for the process but at least you don't have to use alot of physical force to get the tire on and off. nice video!
Ive failed 4 times before looking this up because the tube keeps getting pinched when I install it, 3 of my local e bike shops wont even take my money to install it for me because its so much of a pita… needless to say its an art, id prefer the tire levers any day at this point lmao cause im no artist

Can you put tubeless tires on the nanrobot d4
I don't think so because there is no way it can hold the air in because the rim is a split ring.
