    You guys should advertise the tube slime for electric scooter tires. If you look into changing one you'll see the headache that it really is and the tube slime just saved me all of that and it worked better then I could have imagined. I was thinking if slime made a small emergency kit for scooters I think it would be wildly successful. Maybe a hard case you can strap to the handlebar stem with 8oz of tube slime and a small hand pump plus extra room for personal things like phone,wallet, small tools. If you look into the process of changing a tire on these it involves soaking the tire in boiling water to stretch it and its still a struggle, plus the hub being the motor, the average person doesn't want to get into all that. Personal electric scooters are taking small town America by storm, capitalize on it!

      Literally just today I had my EUC tube punctured. I was absolutely dreading taking it apart so I could get access to the tube, but I tried slime instead and it works perfectly!! I will be prefilling any future innertubes with slime before they get punctured!

      Yes. I'm here exactly because so many e-scooter reviewers were saying Slime was a must-buy to prevent flats because they are such a pain to deal with. This video did a good job explaining how it works!

    I've used half of the botle (118 ml) in my rear tube tire from my electric scooter and in the 4-th day i had a flat, the tire deflated like 60% so i've been able to get home (300 meters). The next day i've inflated the tire and it seemed to hold the air so i decided to go in the park for a spin, after 20 minutes i had a beautifull flat tire with no air in it, it deflated 100% and the tube valve even retracted inside the tire. In conclusion is not good for electric scooters because the electric motor is heating the tube inside the tire and the slime loses it's properties.
