Just changed mine, with help from you, but changing it to run-flat!
I fear the tire change. Lol
Me to XD
Slime must have for this wheel, lol
Thanks for your great work in helping us out with your videos.
These how to videos are spot on and it great for reference and looking back at how wheels change. I have also started to record my rides as its a great way to see where you have been and how your skills improve. Keep them coming.
Thanks :-)
I was going to buy euc but this is way too hard, cheers for the video
Of course you picked the one wheel that is substantially harder to work on then all other wheels. Just like all cars are not the same, all EUC's are not the same :-)
This is great 👍
Thanks Marty
Thanks Marty, great to see a how-to.
Disconnect and connect the power cable is a serious thing. Thank for the advertising. Have you more to say about it ?
Which tires do you recommend for the V11 and do you carry them in your Amazon store?
When 2x speed just isn't enough.
Sorry about that
@@ElectricUnicycles Everyone has different style. No one is forced to watch your video :)
This is a basic video that every EUC manufacturer should provide. Thanks!
Important notice! Please check the wires coming out of the motor. Mine were getting worn from the sharp edges right within a couple inches at the exit from the inner hub through the extrusion that holds the shock. It wore thru the shrink wrap and the n the wire insulation up to the actual wires on two of them. Luckily while changing the tire I noticed it and had to file the sharp corners then coated the wires heavily to prevent future issues. I will also check and beef up the insulation each time I open it up from now on.
The next BIG innovation with EUC's will be a quick and easy tyre change. It's crazy how complicated it's gone from the V8 to the V11. I don't mind getting technical but the risk of damage has gone up too much.
I agree fully.. That's stupid amount of work. Removing glued connector got to be a warranty issue and it's easy to slip and cut wires removing the glue. Unreal... 🙄
Single swingarm suspension EUC would be wild
@@timjohnson6975 THAT would be a balance problem. But, yeah.
thats alot of work...as always. I wish they would design a wheel with fast access for a tire change, and other fixes.
You and me both!
"DON'T FEAR THE TIRE CHANGE"!? When you have to completely dismantle a rather complex machine just to get at the tire.
For real...my msp takes me 5 min to split the whole wheel.nice vid for the ones who need it...
@@KL4M4T0 At the very least, you shouldn't have to touch the control board unless there is a problem with the control board.
@@ElectricUnicycles Hey Marty, can you advise if tyre fillers like slimmer or fix a flat are effective in terms of preventing the need of tyre change?I just ordered the V11 and would like to know if i should bother to fill smth in before using it...
Thanks Marty for your tips and expertise as usual. This was a much needed video. I and I'm sure the EUC community is very grateful. Many thanks.😊
Note to self: write "S" on a piece of blue tape and slap it on my bottle of Slime so I can easily find it the day my v11 arrives, lol.
Thanks for the video. Its so lame that every EUC and eclectic scooter I've seen the inside of uses XT60/90 connectors that do not have anti-spark. The anti-spark connectors probably cost a few cents extra when buying in bulk.
Some of the newer wheels have the better connectors. So there's hope :-)
Thanks for this video. This procedure is waiting for me this evening, sigh... the factory tire finally had a flat, after almost 8k kilometers and just a few hundred kms before the threads would have started showing. I guess I got my money's worth out of that tire. The procedure doesnt seem to be as bad as I had anticipated from some teardown reports I have read.
I dont have an inmotiin v11 and not sure if I am going to get one, but I still appreciate the time and effort you have put to do this video tutorial! Thank you, sir!
Thanks Marty! If anything this convinced me that if I ever need my tire changed I will get it done at a shop even if I have to ship it. That was massively, and seemingly unnecessarily complex.
Thanks for the tutorial. Nobody care this a lot, but I would wipe the dust before disassembly )
Wow this is involved, we'll definitely need to keep this video for future reference, thanks for doing the deed Marty you survived the take down, now take several deep breaths & repeat the process in reverse. ..then its Miller time...lol. 🍻👍
Ah time to get this thang together, appreciate this video, have the knobby tire on it now.
How’d you learn all this Marty?? Your amazing my friend!! Best!!
It's an Allen key, Wally. Why? Because it inserts, a wrench does not insert!
Step 1: eWheels.com
Step 2: select new V11
Step 3: click Order
Marty I jsut want to thank you for all the helpfull video and good stuff you have posted over the years. To me this is very helpfull.
thx again.
seems extreme pain in the butt this tire changing or repair...
Definitely thanks for the video!! Just wondering if this was shot before Overheat Hill? Is the V11 back in action? Did you ever get a reply from Inmotion on the “go home” feature not working?
All the best
This was shot using the broken V11. Never (and won't) heard back from Inmotion. I'm returning the broken wheel now.
ElectricUnicycles But I though Inmotion was being praised by all for the unparalleled support and listening to the riders and all that Jazz?! So much for that. Question is, Would tou recommend the V11? I’m thinking about getting one and you are the final industry quality standard in my book.
@@LeoPira None of these companies are great when it comes to customer service. They are foremost Chinese companies with very little local presence. That's why it's best to use a local dealer if possible. Inmotion has been making updates based on early feedback. I actually really like the V11. I loved riding it (seated and standing) and the ride is indeed very comfortable. The build quality is fantastic.
Since my pre-production unit failed and another pre-production unit also failed, personally I would wait a few months to see if there are any reliability issues with the production units that are now starting to ship. Assuming that there are none, I absolutely would recommend the V11. I may be getting one myself - after a few months :-)
ElectricUnicycles Thanks once again for the insights. I know exactly what you mean about the Chinese way of Customer Care and After Sales. For 20 years I’ve worked for Volkswagen Brazil developing markets in Africa and Mid East competing with the Chinese.
I wouldn’t risk not going through a local dealer, besides I’m good friends with the Brazilian Inmotion Country dealer. And yes, I will give it a few months and just keep on watching your videos!
Great video Marty, it is quite an ordeal to swap out the tire, but I do think you explain the steps very well, was also interesting to see how InMotion attached the motor to the body of the wheel instead of an axle, that should be pretty strong and no risk of bending an axle doing jumps etc. Excellent mate.
I love these vids on how to do user maintenance and take apart a wheel.👍 Thanks Marty! I don’t have a V11, but love to learn the mechanics of things.
Thanks Marty. The V11 is not a wheel I should consider buying.
I just ordered my magnetic allen wrench set for my cordless drill. Of course I will be responsible with my use of power, as always....
Yes, with power comes great responsibility :-)
Great video.
Am stunned at how much effort is needed to remove the wheel from the casing on aV11.
Are all the Inmotion models as difficult as this to change a tyre?
Removing the wheel on a non suspension KS16S is incredibly simple, quick and easy.
Will be interesting to see how much effort is needed to remove the wheel from an S18.
Great vid.
Great video but it's utterly absurd how ridiculously convoluted doing this is... This literally convinced me NOT to buy a V11. I am in complete disbelief. Who the hell can spend an entire day changing a tire?!
You mentioned at 2:55 that this is a preproduction unit and at 4:15, you have removed the pedal hanger. In the final production model, the hanger is really higher but strangely, it seems InMotion is back with the lower hanger on V11Y. I would love to have the lower hanger on my V11.
A bit more optimized tire/motor replacement procedure for the production V11:

This video helped a lot thanks to the high resolution footage and helpful hints sprinkled in. Thank you sincerely for your time doing this for us.
Glad it was helpful!
that's ridiculous... I'll wait for the next model... But thank you Marty! Always so helpful!
Nah..I fear not. I'll just call you lol
Very detailed and informative, thank you Marty.
They might as well make these things disposable and tell the customers to just buy a new one everytime they get a flat...oh wait, maybe that was the idea why it's so damn difficult to change one!
I am always surprised by the Chinese engineering genius. Only the Chinese could come up with such hemorrhoids
Dang, literal surgery. Why doesn't the EUC come with tire change instructions?
Thanks Marty! This is a much needed video. I appreciate you taking the time to video and explain the process.
ouch, wheel in theory is ok, but after seen this, no way to buy it :)
Big design flaw just to get to the tire, even just to fill up the top suspension chamber
You are a lifesaver, my friend.
I bought v11 a month ago, my first euc, and recently it started to make an awful sound while riding, like there was a small rock inside of it. I was terrified, there is nobody in my city to fix it, I would have to ship it somewhere far away, and I was afraid to disassemble it by myself as I never did it.
But with your help everything went well! The sound is gone, the wheel works fine and I have no spare parts left after assembling it back, if you know what I mean.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I’m so glad to become a part of this amazing community, it’s fun even to fix it, not only to ride it.
Love your videos.
Wish you the best of luck!
Thank you so much for those kind words. It means a lot to me to learn that some of my videos are useful. Take care.
P.s. What was making the noise?
All of your videos are extremely useful. Even inmotion made some changes for the second batch of v11 based on your feedback. Like suspension valve covers look differently now.
Regarding the noise, I have no idea, to be honest.
I was afraid that bearings are the problem after I watched the “wrong way” channel, a guy had such an issue with v11.
The noise was there till the end, I had to pull out the motor to check bearings. But I didn’t find anything. And when I assembled it back the noise was gone.
I hope it stays this way.
I have records of what it was like

I absolutely love these videos I consider them tutorials and enjoy watching you taking them apart and putting them back together , totally siked to see your video content , not to mention the way you deliver is very patient clean , and tranquil. thank you so much!
I hate doing this tire change but when it is done. It is a blast to ride on a fresh tire.
Great vid, but I discovered that there is no need to remove the battery shells to get the wheel off so save yourself a lot of time and hassle.
Please provide a video or other details otherwise this comment isn't of much use. Thanks 🙂
I fell off miines because the pedal hit a put hole and now it won’t turn on
First off…..thank you so much for this video! Second….my v11 tire has similar wear and looks like the tire in the video. Do you think I need to change it or am I good for a little longer. It’s not bald but I’d thought I’d ask. Thanks again.
I didn't think this tire was particularly worn. I've seen a lot worse. I would say when the center tread starts disappearing then it's time.
@@ElectricUnicycles thanks again for all your work and knowledge. Your videos are great!
Aaaannnndd that is enough of a reason not to take the leap and make the purchase.
Uh .... those .... uh .... four screws are PROHIBITED to be removed. I don't know what to do!
I recall someone telling me that you don't have to remove those four bolts but I forget the details. Try it.
that's a lot of work if you are a clean freak with your V11..
What the hell, I aint buying the v11 then; screw this.
Thank you Marty!
Very nice video. Quite a process for a tire change.
Honestly I rather just buy a whole new V11
Didn’t watch the video yet but did you find a snow tire for these. I had a snow tire on my v8 and now have a V11 and want to ride it in the Michigan snow. ❄️
It doesn't snow where I live so I can't provide you with any insight.
I really fear tire change after watching )))) Thank you for video its really great and clear to understand.
Well DOne Sir !! thanks for this video
jeez what a mission. I have this wheel and do not look forward to this. Is there any comparable wheel with a simple wheel removal process?
There are many simpler wheels. The S22 is extremely easy to perform a tire change and any of the current Begode wheels are the simplest.
@@ElectricUnicycles time to dust off the old gotway msuper :)
On the Sherman I notice Kuji rolls you tube he pulled apart the yellow plugs 🔌 turn the machine on then off and then he used tweezers to discharge the final bit of electricity not the battery side do I have to do that on the Sherman?
It can't hurt to disconnect the batteries and then turn on the wheel to discharge the power from the capacitors. The tweezers you can skip. You should not have to disconnect the motor wires. Do all the work on the non-motor side of the wheel.
See my very recent Tesla tire change video. You should be able to do nearly the same thing with the Sherman.
Marty this is very helpfull thx for all the great help you give the EUC fans globally. I have to change motor on my V11 and Im no technical person I can assure you that. This film is very helpfull - I really think Inmotion should have better service. I got a Bad wheel so they should take it back and send me a new one.
Thanks Marty for this video, please add advices for the new bearing, thanks forewards Thomas
I no longer have access to a V11 so there won't be any more videos. Sorry :-(
Another excellent video. Gotta say that the Inmotion quality looks very good and consistent. Curious though that there didn't seem to be any lubricant on the suspension components. Just metal on metal.
These does seem to be some lubricate inside the shock mechanism. Probably hard to do on all the external parts since they constantly get exposed to the elements.
140 miles into my V11 and the Hall sensor failed! Anyone experience that?
Wow, that's bad luck. Did the sensor fail while you were riding (I hope not)?
What horrible thing, I can't believe it!
Quite a RIDICULOUS procedure.. DONE IT!. That is a HARD tire and don't come off easy!
If you can't find a tube with bent Schrader valve, take a 1/4 square burr/round file and reem the rim hole out oval to one side so you can tip the valve out to air it!
You don't have to take she shock out of the housing.. I'm surprised inmotion didn't put bars out the side or the circuit board to screw the motor wires into (side access). Funny how you have to VOID THE WARRANTY (warranty stickers) to fix a flat
Glad you survived the process :-)
@@ElectricUnicycles I build Resomod Classic Fords! 56F100's, certified WELDER! UTI GRAD. and assemble Rc Cars-Team Associate.. today's technology is AMAZIN!👍
And watch Jesse Lee Peterson! on TH-cam! AAAAMAZIN!
That was a major help. Much thanks
Why did you only have to remove the screws on one side? Is the motor only connected to that one side? Did I miss something and need to watch it again?
Complicated to explain in a comment, but it's related to the fact that the wires coming out from the motor only exit on one side of the motor.
The whole was to see the tire change...you need to change your title...misleading
You can literally find dozens of TH-cam videos on how to change an EUC tire. Me doing another would offer little value and take me a long time (this is a hobby for me, not a job). The value of my video is showing how you get access to the tire. Sorry you didn't like the video 😥
Just curious why we never get torque values for the screws. Maybe it's not that important for these. I just feel like, since I'm trusting my safety to the machine, I want to have specifics. Can anyone clue me in as to why they are not (apparently) important? (Or provide actual values please?) When I assembled even non-moving machines for a job I had, even then we used powered screwdrivers with different torque settings. Maybe it's something about the type of screw/thread? I don't know much, so maybe it's an easy answer. Just a really large acceptable torque range, so anything "snugish" is ok?
Yeah, we've been wanting torque values for years. I don't believe the Chinese EUC manufacturers use torque wrenches, etc. when assembling the wheels and that's why we have no values.
@@ElectricUnicycles Ok, well I guess I'll go with "fairly snug". Thanks for the reply!
so there's no real axle that goes thrue the wheel/motor? :-O instead just 4 M6 bolts holding it all in place, taking all the abuse??
i wonder what warranty might be worth if i ever change my tire myself. the shop that sold it, does not have it's own repair shop. it's just a general electrics shop.
I think most people eventually learn to maintain their own wheels. Generally you only need a few tools and time.
Doing it myself shouldn't be a problem. But since changing a tire requires alot of disasebling, i can imagine warranty would be void.
At this part; 18:29 and correct me if I'm wrong but swapping any two of the motor wires probably wouldn't hurt the motor, it would just reverse the direction it would know to spin. The software might not be set up for it, so it would throw an error, or maybe it would go backward when leaning forward. Still not worth swapping the motor wires for the average Joe.
I have seen people damage their wheels by connecting the motor wires wrong. I wouldn't take the chance and risk it.
@@ElectricUnicycles I agree. If anyone is willing to spend 2K on a EUC, I don't think anyone would be willing to risk it.
Sad to see an inMotion in an out-of-Motion state.
is this the same one that burnt up before overheat hill?
Yes. I shot this video afterwards.
Very Nice Thank You !
Well Im not getting a v11...
design mark- epic fail
I think I would just slap a little red/green paint on the inside of parts to denote which side they belong to. I would definitely want to solder on some plugs on the phase and hall wires to reduce the frequency of having to open the motherboard enclosure. For the self-tapping screws I would epoxy in some thread inserts so I could replace them with machine screws. Additionally I wish they would quit using Philips head screws, and just use hex for everything.
Fortunately it's all very procedural. At least we don't have to deal with any adhesives or odd mechanisms. The trick is organization and a dedicated 2 or 3 hours. Thanks again!!!
Dude didn't change the tire, should change the title.
I'm that dude. There are million videos on how to change a tire. There aren't a million videos on how to disassemble a V11 to get to the point to change the tire. That was the point of this video 🙂
Just connect the battery first and the phase wires second, and there will be no major spark
Good suggestion. Many people don't like poking their hands around the control board when it's "alive" with power :-)
@@ElectricUnicycles Good point, so the conclusion being - better to take it to a shop that knows what its doing, since high current sparks are also dangerous (if one hits an eye - your screwed)
OK you must be the official E wheels show mechanic which is great for us thank you so much! I’m using this on the Sherman because E wheel is sending out inner tube tires because the Sherman’s have been having trouble with the tubes not sitting right so I’m fixing it myself might text for a few helpful hints later thanks so much Marty
Great info 👍
Oh my! V11, no way for me. We have suspension wheel for now. The next great improvement on the next generation will be an easy way to change a tyre. The wheel maker who find out that will be the winner.
@Marty, about the lift off switch cable, look here th-cam.com/video/WoQGPAeD_j4/w-d-xo.html
Very nice. I think I saw that before but it obviously didn't "click". Thanks!
@@ElectricUnicycles , Happy to help! Anyway, nice video! I appreciate patience and hard work ;)
It's too complicated
Gosh! You go so fast that I can not follow your process, so I decided to continue by myself, thanks.
How long does it take to change the tire on the v11
A couple of hours
What a nightmare
thanks dear!!!
Your video was helpful, thank you but man it rattles my nerves how you consistently pause mid sentence. You should work on that.
That's what we refer to as a backhanded compliment 🙂 But I appreciate you visiting my humble channel ✊
@@ElectricUnicycles No sir, the compliment was genuine. The pausing issue is to help you further improve your channel to make your videos more engaging.
@@stevesmith3033 I appreciate that. I think you mistake me or my channel for a professional video production company 🙂This is a hobby not a money making venture. My videos are unscripted so I talk to the camera as I would an individual. I pause, probably use the wrong words, etc. It's not for everyone but it is what it is. And this was filmed over 2-years ago. Maybe I'm even better now 🙂
@@ElectricUnicycles No mistake here. You're offering professional advice and services and you are monetized. Why not be more professional... 🤷♂
Great ☺️
Wow, incredible. Thank you so much for shedding light on this. I bought this V11 wheel about 2 yrs ago and I dreaded the process to change the tire. At the time it cost an incredible $1300. It has doubled from that but looking at all the parts and all the engineering and all the bolts I do not understand how it can even be sold at a present $2500. Never mind getting the tire changed. Unless you’re able to do it yourself it’s like getting a new set of tires for a Ferrari. So thank you once again
Thank you!
OMG
Hi, Marty,
I use a 5 amp charger on my two V8 and my V10f. I have a V11 pre-ordered.
From what you saw inside the V11, does the charging cables gauge seem to be strong enough to support such charging current?
If not, did you try to charge the V11 with the 2.5 amp and a 1.5 amp chargers?
How does the wheel sum up currents?
Cheers,
Jeff
I only have the stock charger with this wheel so I have no insight weather you can charge at a higher rate on the single port. You could be conservative and make a splitter cable to allow you to use your 5-amp charger by plugging it into both charge ports.
Hey Marty, do you know where I can get replacement cooling fans for my monster v3 100? The blades have broken on mine....
Sorry, I don't
