Just got a flat... we'll see how well this goes... I'll update ya'll after XD Update 1: The wrenches the scooter comes with aren't big enough for the bolts he's undoing. So I have to go buy one. Got the first one off, cause I had a tool box with those click wrench thingys, but unless there's a way to get a nut off without a wrench, I'm stuck already. Great fun.... Update 2: RATCHETS! lol .. (He uses a 3/4 socket on his ratchet btw)! Anyway, get an 8" wrench from Home Depot or your local hardware store for the second nut. For the allen wrench he's using to unscrew the hubcap, you'll need a 5/32. First time doing it, I had to snap them out of their torque. That wasn't fun. Getting the tire out was also annoying, as it was caked in dried dirt, so I had to use a wet (not too wet) toothbrush to scrape some of that off. Also, he uses his ratchet to bang the sides to get the tire out, don't do that.. get something softer so it's a lot less loud. I used a wooden umbrella end wrapped in a soft foam. Getting the tire off the motor wasn't as easy in the video. Back tire went over a strange bump and wrapped part of itself around the motor, so I had to push a little harder. Seeing if there's any damage right now. Update 3: Goodness... having no direction to inflate the tube and to how much before putting it back in the tire was interesting.. thought my pressure gauge wasn't working, but it worked just fine after the tube was in the tire. Using the wrench and a ratchet to hammer the tire back in was a good idea, but I just had to push it back down. Still find something quieter if you're in an apartment like me at 3am and you have to hammer it down. Lmao! XD All in all, this guy makes it look easy when it's not. At least not when it's your first time doing it. This was tedious, and I now abhor inner tube tires. My hope is that their electric unicycles aren't tubed as well and are just actual tires - 'cause I've been wanting one for awhile. Regardless, thanks for the video. Helped A LOT! Have a blessed day~
Wrench size is 19mm. The $9 box-end ratchet combo from Amazon works great and is easy to stow in backpack. There are flat spots on the axel bolt that you have to line up right. Also there are washers with little hook tabs on them, they both line up with holes in the frame. You have to make sure they are all the way out of the frame holes, otherwise you keep getting hung up on one side or the other. Frustrating the first time I did it. Same when your re-installing, make sure you put those hook tab washers in the right orientation...... The holes in the frame are offset from one side to the other, double check before you tighten the main bolts down.
I have ordered one these scooters. Taking a chance on the tires. I woukd have preferred longer lasting tubeless tires, but nothing is perfect. I am looking forward to two motor torque. Plan on carrying a tube reolacement kit when i ride with with this one.
How's it worked out over there 7 months. I ordered mine today. Well it's real time and the video is under 8 minutes. With experience and a dedicated tool pouch and tube in your sling pack I guess you get it done in 10-15 minutes. No biggie. Thanks for the instructional. Kenda thorn proof tubes, they're 3x thickness. They're not on Zon, about half a dozen dedicated tubes suppliers in the US. Expect about 15.00 each but worth minimal change-outs.

It's a bad choice only pros in this scootercits power that's it everything else it's bad from customer service to their app it's so terrible and it gets flat all the time
I don't know much about scooters, but I'm guessing they chose tubes to improve ride quality to help make up for the lack of suspension, which I assume was left out to save cost and weight.
It's neat how the rotor changes back and forth.
Wish my Climber did that😮
I'm hoping to find an aftermarket solid.

I snapshotted those wrench sizes and will order the hex with handle, etc. Good info, thanks, bud.

Love my inmotion climber but having to change out the damn innertubes once a month is getting old. I wish they came out with solids for this scooter
That looks like a real PITA! 😳
I wish you would add allen wrench sizes to the video
Is there a video on the front tire?
why can’t i get the back wheel out it’s like it’s stuck
I stripped the screws at 3:41 any tips?
Same!
My Hillclimber (#2) has been problem free.
Video is too long but great.😢
Or save yourself the Rubics Cube removal or reinstall and carry some Slime tire repair.
Personally I went over 1600 mi before I got a flat.

Absolutely ridiculous you put tubed tyres in. Would love this scooter but it’s just a red line for me, terrible choice.
Then just change them and stop bitching
th-cam.com/video/_N8P-1Dj4vI/w-d-xo.html LOL. Not ridiculous but very easy. Tube in tyres makes for a comfy ride.

Should have used foam filled tubeless run flats like the rear tire in their Air model
No tubes in 2023!!! A deal breaker!!! Tube change is way too long! Do it in the rain? 😢😮.
Waaaaay too difficult! I had to take it to a bicycle shop and pay $65 to get this done. 👎👎👎👎
