Be patient. Work carefully. Use your Jedi mind to make it happen. If you don't have the tools, buy them. If you dont have the experience, you will after you've done it. Good or bad. All the best legends!
While I am reluctant to give ANY good reviews to Segway, the take away was I love my purchase so I did as you did “just get it done”. I learned a lot about ME (AND the replacement).
DO NOT buy a Segway until this is fixed. I have spent 6 hours trying to replace one rear tire and still cannot get it on the rim (even after watching this video a handful of times). It could be as simple as removing the rim completely from the scooter, then you could take the rim and tire to any tire shop. But no, that is not an option.
Leaving a couple lessons I've learned after successfully replacing this thing. It seems impossible at first, but you can do it. Taking off the tire requires at least 2 tire levers and a c clamp to break the tire bead seal as seen in the video, make sure your tire is deflated and use the levers to pop the tires out, it'll take a little elbow grease but it's doable. Putting on the tire is much more difficult. They never mention this in the video but you explicitly cannot use tire levers to put on the tire, it will break the bead seal and your new tires will be useless (learned this the hard way), you MUST push it in with your hands. To make this easier, get 4 zip ties (I used 14-inch cable ties from Home Depot), then evenly tie them around the tire as tight as possible. This makes pushing the tire onto the rim much more straightforward and ensures both sides are inside, once inside you just need to cut the zip ties. For most of you, it should now be as simple as inflating the tire to around 30-40 psi, and it will pop into place. If your luck is anything like mine, the bead won't sit no matter how much you inflate and pinch the thing. To fix this, I inflated it to 50 psi, reassembled the scooter, and rode it around town at about 25-30 mph. By the time I was finished, the bead seated itself into place, and I deflated it back down to the recommended 32 psi. This entire process can seem nightmarish, but once you get it done once, you'll have the experience to fly through it the next time you need to replace this thing. I believe in you.
I mean no offence. You buy a machine and expect to do nothing on it? Part of owning a machine is learning it, maintaining it and become more knowledgeable as a result. I don't know. Maybe for another 50 grand you can get your own mechanic?
@@peelypeelmeister6432the issue isn’t not having the effort to put into a scooter maintenance. I’ve changed all sorts of parts on cars and the point is, Segway didn’t engineer the tire on this scooter to be changed, when a tire is something that should be easily accessible and changeable.
My 21mm socket won't fit on the axle because you need a thin wall socket. my cable going to the rear motor isn't long enough to pull the wheel up on to the deck. I have to disconnect the cable in order to get enough room to work on the tire.
Its a whole pile of ass fuckery is what It really is. Its like gimmie a pile of cash for this awesome pile of trash. Just wait till our batteries fail in a couple of years LOL
Segway MUST offer a solid tire option on it's super scooters.. the replacements are horrible procedures and it does not solve the problem of a new puncture in the replacement tire which could happen literally in the same day
I was finally able to do it by getting a pack of long zipties. I put the tire on the rim half way then "crushed" the tire and put zip ties all around to make it smaller then I used tools to get it on there.
I don't understand - if you have the C clamp there use it to put the tire back on the rim -instead of all that trying with your hands to push it on - Just use a bigger one and an open end wrench to give you leverage to turn it if you have issues.
I tried, tire lube, silicon grease, tire levers, still won't go on, I even put it in the oven for a few minutes to warm it up without damaging the gel and to make it more pliable. No luck
1500$ down the drain. My rear tire popped. And i got to the decorative protector and it got stripped trying to remove it since it was stuck on. Now its impossible to remove. Segway didnt think it through. I have a perfectly good scooter i cant use now
This is so easy! I was expecting something more difficult. The hardest part is those tire levers but that’s what i already do on my Bicycle and its a challenge sometimes.
Well Guys/Girls I figure out the best way to do this unfortunately you have to use a flathead screwdriver and it's going to chip rim paint no way around it really this was a pretty cool scooter and all but I definitely feel scammed I also manged to ruin more shit in the process of fixing it
Been at it trying to install the new 🛞…won’t budge…scratched the 💩 out of the rim…the rubber on the rear part of the deck is completely ripped to shreds thanks to the bolt…tried that 10min step the 💩 out of the 🛞 to get it to loosen up…not helpful…this guy makes it look easy…now I have a useless 🛴 thanks to the rear 🛞 puncture I’ve been with for a while…I should’ve just kept pumping the 🛞 every time I used it(annoying) but better than this nightmare replacement

@@CommanderRick I know - They need to sell the whole freakin wheel with them on there. Its Horse shit. But thats why I bought a wired freedom E bike now though. Off road is the place to be. LOL
I want my money back, this is garbage, never ever buy another segway. i USED ZIP TIES AND GOT IT ON BUT THEN IT GOT MALFORMED AND WOULDN'T INFLATE, $3,500 DOLLAR PIECE OF GARBAGE

Don't use loctite on axles or anything decorative. I had to mangle the decorative cover to remove it.
Big damage on wheel paint.

Absolutely impossible to change these tyres wtf

Do I have to change my clothes halfway in as well?
Yes because you'll be covered in sweat 😢
wow so much damage to rim installing - and this is the 'official' video?
agree, a bit shocking
Absolute embarrassment for Segway. I was enjoying my scooter until having to replace the tire. Now I’m regretting my purchase
Same. I have to go back and unrecommend it to all my friends.
Same here. ☹️

@Matt_Dylan You could join the me too movement. Seriously bro. Buy some tools and put your head and heart into being the master of your machine.

Were you able to figure it out
Im having the same issue right now. The socket wont fit.
Same needed to buy a thin 21mm. Taking that socket out is a bitch too.

@@andersonlozano1874 I sent it back to Segway under warranty. Stand by for the review once it comes back.

Impossible to get back on, wish I hadn't bought it now.
I've been stuck trying to put the new tire back on the rim for a while. Any tips? They make it look so easy.
I was finally able to do it by getting a pack of long zipties. I put the tire on the rim half way then "crushed" the tire and put zip ties all around to make it smaller then I used tools to get it on there.
Zip ties, me too
How much psi does the tire have to be?
the decorative cover over the axle is near impossible to remove. what did they torque it to?
Did you figure it out I'm trying to remove it rn and it won't budge
@@grippy_bigboy saw it off with a Dremel
@@hosecoat I was able to get it off with the 8mm Allen key just had to step on it for it to start moving
@@grippy_bigboy mine stripped before releasing
@@hosecoat that sucks damn, the last screw on the brake is stripped so I couldn't finish taking it off

Yikes. Nightmare install
Did this today, the only problem I had was the motor did not have enough wire to put it on top of the scooter
I tried, tire lube, silicon grease, tire levers, still won't go on, I even put it in the oven for a few minutes to warm it up without damaging the gel and to make it more pliable. No luck
I used the clamp and zip 3zip ties and the lever.
The worst install I’ve ever done and I’m an ASC certified mechanic who owns a car dealership now.
Segway needs a redesign bad
where can i find tool to do this change of tire
Tire levers and C Clamp At least 5 Inches
1500$ down the drain. My rear tire popped. And i got to the decorative protector and it got stripped trying to remove it since it was stuck on. Now its impossible to remove. Segway didnt think it through. I have a perfectly good scooter i cant use now
drill or saw the decorative cover off. only way I could get one of mine off.
