- This is an informational video showing you how to patch a rear bike tire without removing the wheel, with no tools except for a mini bike pump and a small patch kit. You can accomplish this in 10-20 minutes on your first attempt if the tube is patchable. On an e-bike with a rear motor it is a major hassle to remove the wheel, so if you don't have to, then don't!
This should work with any e-bike.

YT just suggested your channel. I like your humor.
Thank you so much!!
Good straight forward demo !... looked like a pinch flat....surprised to see how many people ( especially kids ) think you can ride on or off curbs or plow right over pot holes ( more reason to have the tire at full pressure 30psi )....first time I patched a tire I was about maybe 10 years old....around 1960....doing it was all part of riding a bike....would do it near a garage tire pump if you didn't have one. Now I have a compact battery powered pump....works great !.... great vid...the bit with your daughter was great. All the best to you and your family ! ( Lectric 2.0 owner ) thanks !
Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, I figured something stupid occurred to make that specific hole but accepted I wasn't going to get the truth. 😂. I recently got a cheap battery powered air compressor as well. I was skeptical at first but so far have been impressed.
1960? Did you light the patch on fire, like we did, to seal it? :)
This was useful. I've used the same technique on non-electric bikes with smaller tire, but I wondered if I could do the same with the fat tires on my new ebike. The only suggestion I'd make is to feel for a thorn/nail/screw/whatever still stuck in the tire itself. You would not want to have a fresh puncture right on top of the puncture you just repaired.
Excellent point that I totally forgot! Thank you for the feedback!
A cool approach in a true emergency limited resources scenario.
Simone really cute. Love your sense of humor!
Dude this video was done absolutely perfectly. You even sped up the for viewers. I spend way to much time on TH-cam and honestly this is one of best informational videos I've ever watched. You definitely have a knack for this.
Wow, thanks so much for the kind words and I'm glad you liked it!
Yeah that was a great video! I really love the intro with your daughter... that was a riot! I was actually sitting here watching this with my daughter and we really started laughing! Thanks for your great video!
That great idea to fix it with out taking everything out . I will try . Thank you
Thank you! Very useful.
Excellent video
Great video! Also always make sure you rub your hand inside the tire itself because what caused the puncture could still be there and when you go to inflate the tire it will puncture the inner tube again.
Yes! That was a major oversight on my part not to mention that! Thanks for watching!
Cool idea
Kids must love using the throttle.
Yes, yes they do!
Hysterical!!
Great info I never thought this could be done without removing the wheel.
After the first time removing the back/ front wheels it's a very simple process....Good video...
Removing the back tire is more work than is necessary ( and is not a simple process on a rear hub electric bike !!!!! )...what this guy does is exactly the correct way to fix a flat...wheel removal is not required ( on any bike) unless you've damaged the wheel !
@@RPMacWhat about the hole in the tire that caused the hole in the tube? Forget something? 😁
Thats the fast way to fix it.
I appreciate seeing how this is done in case my Flat Out fails on my XP 2.0. I cringed a bit when you flipped the bike over though because it looks like you bent your rear fender. Hopefully not
Thanks again
I don't know about the 3-in tires but the 4.0 almost never get flats if you keep the pressure below 15psi. E-bakers hate on me when I say this but mountain bikers will agree with it all day long. I have three fat tire bikes two of them are e-bikes , one flat since 2017, and it probably could have been avoided if I had changed the tire a couple hundred miles earlier. The only thing I use is a rim liner and keep the PSI. between 6 and 14 psi
lol i thought i was the only person that bought that cheap air pump.... but it works..
Thanks, very easy way….
fastest way to release air is to use valve core removal tool ....If you have one in bike bag.
You know what but I wouldn't hold your breath too much on that flat out I ran over a thorn yesterday and I had the flat out in my tire. I pulled the thorn out spun the tire around spun it around and the tire went flat. I had to go to my local bike shop. They couldn't put a patch on it like you. Did yours? But they wouldn't touch it because it had the Flat out in it and I don't know why it didn't work so I ended up having to buy a new tube. I just thought I'd pass that along it didn't work for me like they say it does. And the thorn really wasn't any bigger than a needle so I don't know why it didn't work
The daughter joke was funny. Dad jokes are the best
I have a sailnovo I got from Amazon. It has 14 in wire beaded tires. Needless to say they arent cheap. cosube and $30 on labort me like $20 bucks for tire 10 bucks for 30 on labor. Illl give this a shot
Great video but you forgot to check the inside of the tire for what may of caused the flat in the first place before replacing tube back in the tire.
Doesn't this also apply for any bike with a tube?
patched tubes are fine to use for years if done right with a quality patch. Ive seen tubes that look like theyre almost as much patch as rubber.
Ah, goatheads.😀
2:45 the rear fender is damaged when you flip it upside down
Man I was basically struggling to take that rudder air out because it was not easy when I tried to copy your idea my hand started to hurt.
I'm not sure I'm understanding if you mean letting air out of the tire or removing the valve stem from the wheel? Letting air out of the tube if not already flat is easy enough with the pump or a stick or anything nearby to push the center of the valve down. The tire itself can take some work rolling it back and forth to get it off the rim (easier with fat tires) to the point where you can push the valve up through the rim to pull out the tube. You'd have to do that even if the tire was off the wheel but at home you might have a flat head screwdriver or something similar to help pry it.
Why is it ALWAYS THE BACK TIRE that goes flat.
Because that is where most of the weight is.
Puncture strips.... Tire Slime... have not had a flat in over 5 years...
Yes, the liners would definitely be a nice addition too and I would consider if actually replacing the tube but trying to avoid taking off the rear. We've added about 750 miles on this bike since the patch + flatout and haven't had any more flats. (Knock on wood!)
Damn is it normal for it to be impossible to pull the tube out
"temporary" patch 🤣🤣🤣
Speeding up the video makes it hard to understand what you are saying. As comedy its a great tool. Not so much for info.
Yeah, like I'm going to turn it over like You did and damage my real Fender like You have on that bike... No thanks...
That camera on ur head is kinda distracting. Nice idea otherwise.
