Just to note
This video has been made as a guide to help you maintain/fix/repair a specific part of a Pure Electric e-Scooter. But as with any repair video, we can't be on hand to make sure all the right steps are taken, with the correct tools and used on the correct parts.
As such take care when following this guide that you do not take any steps, outside of those highlighted in the video, that void the warranty or damage your e-scooter.
We also want to highlight that you should take all steps to set up a safe working environment, and should only be comfortable carrying out the steps in the video, if you are sure that the e-scooter is securely positioned and not at any risk of toppling over, potentially hurting you or damaging your e-scooter. If easier, bring someone else along to help you with this task. And as a final note - Take care not to damage any electrical cabling (which is a safety hazard) - we wish all our riders to be safe both during and after any maintenance.
We want all our riders to feel confident in carrying out their own maintenance, in a safe and controlled way, but as with anything, if you're unsure on any steps, contact our support team via your local Pure Electric website (Pureelectric.com) who will be on hand to help.

I use my scooter to go to the gym, the back wheel punctured, I really wanted to fix it, so I can go gym but after what I experienced today, I don’t think I need to go it’s a workout itself fixing that tire
Literally same 😭
I just fixed mine too. In theory it is so easy . But I spent 2 hours with my dad's help . The wheel was just so hard to come off .
Next time I will just pay £20 to the shop and let them do it 😅😅
Feeling this so much right now half way through the battle getting the tyre back on with the new inner tube wish me luck all😂
@rollingzootsalways see. Pay that £20 would be better idea 😆
I just did it but this was really complicated to put tire out and in.
I took care about cable and the tube but I can not be sure this was correct...
I recommend to force on tyre using the levers, use at least 3 levers.
To anyone thinking of doing this themselves. This job isn't as easy as it looks in this video. Getting the tyre off and back on again is a struggle. You will likely damage the paint or scratch the scooter if you are not careful. If you do decide to do it yourself, I highly recommend buying a silicone spray to lubricate the tyre and tube, as well as one of those plastic trim remover sets as you will need them as leverage to get the tyre back on and off. To avoid scratching the paint, use a towel or cloth and lay that down on the surface underneath the scooter. I recommend at least 1-2 hours to complete this job. Good luck
Was fairly easy with the guide, the key is you want to follow the instructions to the t

wow, first this is a very good video. Anyone who has changed tubes on bicycle wheels should be able to do this fairly quickly, although due to the small diameter its more challenging to get the thick tire back on. not many videos show rear motor wheel tube replacement. Lucky that this motor cable can be pulled out. You really have to be careful not to destroy the motor cable if you don't disconnect it first and you have very little slack to play with (if so a pain in the ass, requires going into deck and disconnecting motor cables to let cable come through). I have a metal sheath around my cable and not sure it can be pulled out at all. If it cant I will be very pissed.. i`ve only gone 50km had it for 3 weeks.
Hi @Soneeeee, thanks for the lovely feedback!
On the Air2 scooters - we allow for a little bit of slack to be applied to the motor cable but it will still be attached to the scooter while you work on it. Our Air3 scooters have been upgraded to have metal knurled connector which once unscrewed allows you to completely disconnect your rear wheel from the scooter.
Very hard to put the tyre back, any advices
I have the Pure Air Go, so does my friend. My sister has the Pure Air 500w instead. All 3 of them feel practically impossible to remove the rear bolt? What sort of loctite do you use because even after applying a lot of heat it's absolutely ridiculous. I'd also like to add that all 3 scooters had the slime stuff in, and it completely failed on all 3. I measured the piece of glass that popped mine, it was less than 3mm long and still caused a puncture that the slime couldn't handle. Extremely disappointed with Pure scooters so far
Wasn’t expecting it to be this easy done in less than 10 mins

Liar
@@arthursalembier4654 explain to me why am lying plz. Waiting
@Arthur Salembier the fact that you think he is lying just proves how incompetent you are. Go take your scooter to a bike shop and let the big boys do it for you.
Stop the cap, my fastest time is 30mins and that was pure luck cause the tyre had already come off whilst riding
The tyre extraction would be easiest if the open jaws in the "fork" where the axle seats, be in vertical position better than horizontal: that don't affect to wheel axle, but should make easier take it out from its place, and avoid forcing connector cable.
I've put the new tube on but can't fit the new tyre back on over it, it's as if the tube is too big for the tyre but it's definitely the right one, amd I think I've punctured the tube cos I can hear liquid squirting out of tube into tyre
Currently trying to fix this scooter. Been experiencing problems since the day I bought it. Had to purchase another tube. Fingers crossed 🤞
I gave up on inner tubes, had 6 punctures within 2 months. Always on the back tyre, and I weigh considerably less than most too. I'm staying with Solid tyres on the back from now on
@@RandomGamer-ku6ck yeah it's effing annoying isn't it 😩 I managed to fix it. Had to replace the original tube because it was faulty. Tip is to get someone else to help you, one person can hold the wheel in place while the other puts the gold tube through the hole. Good luck 👍
@@Anna-yw8yg I can change the tyres myself okay, I just ended up on this video because of the Loctite they've used. My bolts are seized really hard but I've done a few Pure scooters locally without any issues. Mine is still new, same as my friends, so both of them are from factory and haven't been removed before. That's why it's feeling impossible to get through that loctite 😅
If people are struggling to release the nut, try using a long hex key. The longer it is, the more torque provided. Look at the size of the key used in this video
Refitted the tube and tyre on the rear. Should the back tyre spin freely? I may have tightened it too much as the rear spins a bit stiffer
Hi @a O - you're correct the back wheel should spin freely - just double check the tightness of the bolts - the aim here is to have a significant amount of torque applied to the bolts (to ensure it is secure), but that also allows the wheel to spin freely
Id pay good money to see a women of this ladys stature do this job in a realistic seting. took me an hour and every bean of my strength to remove and refit one of theses tyres. HELL of a job.
My bolt is so tight I physically can’t get it off iv tried using wd40 and it does nothing I’m using a 8mm Allan key
So, everyone that is struggling with the valve stem touching the inside. Deflate your tyre and try to rotate the tyre on the wheel, the stem will tuck in really nicely. Don't overdo it though, or you'll have to remove the tyre again 😅
There is something wrong with the rear tire of this scooter, in less than six month I got the rear tire flat three times without using the scooter much. I finally put a solid tire without tube.
Really struggling to undo the nut on the rear wheel. Don't want to ruin the thread. Any advice?
Hey @Kaya Lena - Just to ask, double check that you do not need a T30 Torx bit for the rear wheel bolt. If you have one of our original Pure Air (1st Generation) e-scooters, this bolt will be present on the scooter - this video is for our 2nd Generation Pure Air e-Scooter.
The head of the bolt will look somewhat like a 'star' if it requires a T30 Torx bit (you can buy these tools from most DIY stores).
If it is a 2nd generation Pure Air e-scooter, then using a ratchet and an allen key bit can help provide the leverage while reducing the risk of damaging the thread.
They should specify that the rotation of the tyre is important because I did it the wrong way and now I have to start over
I'm having the same issue getting the rear wheel off despite using a 8mm hex allen key.
Hi @Matt Taylor - Thanks for the note, we want to be able to help - are you able to confirm wheel bolt fitting is an allen key or Torx head?
Try using a long Allen key like park tools HT-8
Nearly every problem is always back inner tube. Valve
I’ve had this scooter for 2 days and the back is (I’m guessing) punctured or something isn’t right with the tube. Why!!!!!!
I bought the correct inner tubes with 45 degree valves but the valve still touches the side .
Hi @133taxi, are you able to drop a message to our rider services team here - support.pureelectric.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new
By sending us some photos, they'll be able to help diagnose a solution for you quickly
All the best
The Pure team
Did you buy from pureair or brandless equivalents
I have a pro lr. Its impossible to unscrew the rear wheel to fix this bloody puncture. Only had it a few days not happy.
Hi @Euph Morning,
If you're having difficulties doing the repair yourself, we have a wide network of independent e-scooter repair teams on hand to help with punctures and get you back up and running very quickly (you can find all this here - www.pureelectric.com/pages/repair-centres)
Alternatively please feel free to drop our rider support team a message via our support page if you'd like to ship it to Pure's repair center if no independent repair center is near by (support.pureelectric.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new)
Make sure you have a t30 tamper proof torx socket
The nut has a bit of metal in the middle of it making it impossible to unscrew
Im having the same problem. Not really sure what to do now
Hi @dd8zx - Are you able to check that the bolt in question does not require a T30 Torx security bit - you can buy these from most DIY retailers.
Hi @Connor Patterson - Are you able to check that the bolt in question does not require a T30 Torx security bit - you can buy these from most DIY retailers.
(This repair is for our Second generation Pure Air e-scooters, however our first generation Pure Air e-scooters require the T30 Torx Security Bit instead of an allen key in a small aspect of the repair)
Mine is 2nd gen but it is really difficult to unscrew it
I can get the black bolt off

Great - I’ll just hop in my car and go to hove to get a repair done. Absolute joke
I thought it was tubeless 🤯
This is a video for our Air scooters (2022) edition - our 2023 Air3 range is tubeless
So far my experience with the pure scooter LR has been awful they sent me it has a brake sensor that was broken and wouldn't go anywhere I don't know what a brake needs to have a sensor going a bit above and beyond with the safety I think I'm not to mention trying to change a f****** tyre just loosen the bolts at the back they said when they've overtightened them and I'm spending hours just trying to get to bolts off honestly the worst bit of work I've ever seen in my life and I'm an engineer
Hi @ZoooMVideography - this is obviously not the experience that we wanted you to have with your Pure Air Pro LR. Are you able to drop our Rider Support Team an email here ( support.pureelectric.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new) letting them know about the challenge you're having with the rear wheel and they'll be on hand to help you!
total scam 😀 this women makes it look easy, its actually not, i'd recomend not doing it yourself
Man 2 all day long. Dont try unless you want to be angry. 😅
2 man job
This is the most horrible puncture I’ve ever had to fix. I’m ready to sell the scooter without having been able to put the tyre back on.

It’s not as easy as the video but it is doable. Using a soapy sponge to lubricate the rim/tyre goes a long way
Time actuall tyre wouldn’t move
