The tires for this bad boy were engineered in the fiery pits of hell in order to torture any poor soul who attempts a tire change.
LOL! So very true. Next time will be easier using this guide though
shit, i pop rear inner tube last week, go trough hell while changing it, and yesterday i poped front inner tube and I'm to terryfied to even attempt to change it...
@@aleksanderprzytua been stuck on changing front will since last week, cus no valve can fit in, until I saw this vid
@@drugard2820 you should try tubeless tires. Cheap and easy. All you have to do is boil them and they aren’t too bad to get on. I’ve replaced both rear tires on mine. About to do the front tire. Will update on how that goes haha
Amin.
Oh Boy I changed the tyre last week without seeing this video, 3h of really painfully work… but your video is a game changer thanks so much for sharing it’s just brilliant! Greets from Austria
Great to hear!
gegen ende so um 11:57 schraubt er da wirklich einfach nur rein? Denn diese spalte ist mit dem jump cut plötzlich weg. Sollte man das richtig rein drücken oder wirklich einfach rein schrauben? kannste mir da helfen und verstehst du meine frage :D
You can change the tire without removing the motor lol I've done it 5 times now. However, seeing the exposed motor is definitely cool :) The clamping technique is a big help. I discovered this when putting a new tire on as it kept slipping off the rim at a different place (because it was new and slick), this will save you at least 30 minutes. BTW, inflate to 40-50psi or you WILL get pinch flats (that's why I had to do this so many times).
True
What psi that do you use ?For my 10 inch tubeless i use 35 psi i am 78 kg its feel like its has suspension :p 50 psi its fell awful
I did this with wrench, allen key and only 3 screwdrivers + an unholy prayer to all damned gods, a lot of screaming and pain....boy what a time....
Amazing video. Managed it with a few different tools but followed your directions. Saved so much effort in changing the tube. Thanks.
thanks very much for a straight forward explanation. Did my first tyre and tube change in under two hours, no swearing, no bleeding.
Oh my goodness. I finally made it after a few days of trying. The lubricant liquid is the key to put the tire back. Thanks for the video!
Thanks, I've just follow your steps and succeed to change front tyre with no mistake. Greetings from Serbia!
This is got to be the best video out there for scooter tyre replacement. Nice work @Pure Electric
THANK YOU! The technique to remove the engine and the clamps to remove the tire really made the whole process easier. If I'd seen this movie before I started it would have saved me a LOT of time.
I'm 4min into the video and I'm already drained of energy to even bother
How hard can it be to make a small tyre a lot easier to change?
It is easy. The small size makes it harder but in practice it’s not.
thank you so much for the video. great to learn how to remove the motor from the wheel first, before replacing tyre. Very annoyed that Xiaomi scooters get punctured very easily, even just riding in city sidewalks!
Wow, thanks for showing this. It's so much harder compared to changing a bicycle tire!
Excellent tutorial,however I would recommend leaving the nut on the axle or at least protecting the axle threads if intending to hit the axle with a hammer,
You're an absolute legend for this. The akimbo mole grip combo is the only real way to do this. Bookmarked, liked, loved.
Oh man, thank you! The clamping method did the trick, awesome! I was struggling trying to juggle three pry tools, trying to keep the first part of the tire inside, but it kept slipping out while I was working on the second half to no avail. Thank you so much! :)))
Use 3 zip ties instead of clamps and cut them after tire is on and pull them out.
Glad it helped!
@@TheUncleBong nice tip.
Excellent. I have looked at several videos on this subject, and this is by far the best.
Wow, thanks!
Thank you so much for teaching me how to do this.
No problem at all, glad we could help Kevin!
Great tutorial. Simple, explaining all details. Great job 🔥
Thanks! Glad it could help!
Excellent Tutorial , I can now wear that badge of honour 😊
Many thanks.
Thanks Andy and congratulations!
Excellent video! many thanks! I ride on public streets and these skinny tires don't hold up as well as a bicycle, it seems they go flat after hitting breaks in the asphalt. thanks again!
Great Video. The tip on using vice-grips to give the tire more room at the opposite end for the tire levers was brilliant and probably saved me hours of frustration. I didn't need to remove the motor to get the tube out, although the valve was definitely more awkward, but not impossible.
Wow very nice demo. I am thinking 3 days how to replace the inner tube for my e scooter. Now I find it the way 🙏🙏🙏 thanks a lot for your demo brother....
great video, I put my tire in the oven at 60 degrees celcius before putting it back on to make it smooth and flexible. Like that it is so much easier to mount it. I also never removed the motor as it was no needed for me. I use wood clamps for gluing to hold the tire tight. Smart to put the valve first , that was always a struggle for me and I even used a drill to make the hole a bit bigger.
Thank you ! After 2 inner tube punctured because of the valve, i tried your method successfully. I didnt thought of removing the motor but that changed everything! I know i'll be quicker next time now. And i had some one handed bar clamp (wolfcraft, the one you use when you do woodwork) so i tried with those and it worked !
Yeah I have same problem with valve. It goes bent and when you need to out air in, it's impossible the. Gets a puncture because valve being moved to much. I think I will by airless even though it's heavier and will get less miles.
Changing the tire on my hover one journey, was the most difficult tire change I've ever done in my entire 37 years of life. It was ridiculous, hilarious, and super frustrating all the same time. There's a pro tip when changing the back tire, put the disc brake on the side away from you. I cut the shit out of my hands on that thing. 🤣🤣🤣
This is amazing. The technique described during the seventh minute makes the process super-easy. I wish I knew it earlier.
Great to hear!
lmao
@@RabbyCalicdan why?
At last, someone who knows what he is doing when changing a tyre! Only thing I would do different is to inflate the tyre before refitting the wheel, just in case there is a problem holding air.
So many people get this wrong, so it good to have a proper video to point other scooter riders to when they have a tyre to change and are finding it 'impossible'.
Good to hear you found the video useful Nicholas! Are the any other electric scooter maintenance videos you think we should do next?
@@RidePureElectric Not in any particular order... How about disc brake pads replacement and proper brake adjustment including correct pad clearance. Proper adjustment of stem latch. Lubrication of moving parts such as brake cable, stem latch, kick stand, etc. Finding proper tyre pressure and checking it regularly. Applying FW updates where applicable. Safety checks users should carry out before each ride. How to clean your scooter properly as most are not waterproof, so don't want to use a hose or too much water on it. How to deal with bolts/screws with damaged/badly made heads that make removal difficult (I had to replace the new bolts on my rear wheel on M365 as they were poorly made of soft aluminium and the hex rounded out on first try). For most simple scooters that pretty much covers it as you already covered the most popular topic of tyre change in this video and it was one that frustrated me until I figured it out for myself.
Thanks for the feedback Nicholas! Some of those video's are already in the works, so hopefully you'll see them on the channel soon.
Exactly excellent, best presentation about I see recently: clear, clean and most important knowledge what is doing (experience) plus easy to follow. Thanks.
Thank you so much for all your tips , especially the vice grips. Done in under an hour, my husband couldnt believe i fixed it my self after he tried for 3 days
The very best by far, utterly brilliant step by step.
Перфектно! Благодаря за видеото, много ми помогна!
They need to start makin these tyres alot easier to fix punctures without having to watch videos hopefully they will make it as easy as fixing a peddle bike puncture great video any way
Only Brillian world engineers think at customers perspective and make things better way than all other idiots !
RIP it's design engineer !
Very good. Helped a lot. I was about to go and talk in person with the developer of this stupid hard wheel change but now I saved myself a ticket to China.
Thank you so much! This video is very detailed not like the others.
Finally I found a film showing how to change the tire on front wheel! Thanks!
Made the whole process so clear. But also made me realize that unlike bikes, these guys arent really made to be replaced outside the workshop. You can only bring so much with you. So better grab a ride home and repair it there. Thinking of changing the front to honeycomb airless tires.
This is a fantastic and easy to follow guide. There are so many little tips that make the job easier. I would not have figured this out on my own. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Great to hear!
Just followed these instructions but instead of Mole Grips or pipe wrenches i got some Magnusson Ratchet clamps, they've got plastic pads with rubber covers so there's no need to tape and they hold really well. Took just about an hour to change the tube and i did very little scracthing to the front wheel compared to before i saw this video and i replaced the rear wheel tube which is scratched to all hell and the bead of the tyre got some damage too. Many thanks for this video
The best inner tube/tyre replacement guide. ❤️👍
Thanks Steve! Glad it helped!
Nasty little job, I've changed low profile car tyres in less time and man did I sweat doing this, haha. I really should have watched a few of these and got the tips before hand, I struggled with no grips had to use brute force and got the tyre nice and warm first.
I haven't been able to plug it in for days as I have only 1 pipe wrench.
The problem was solved when I realized that I missed a very critical information.
I had to tighten the piece of tire I tightened with the pipe wrench very well and push it towards the innermost part of the tire. It was also very good to lubricate the tire with vaseline.
Thanks! After replacing the rear tire, thanks to your instructions, I now understand why they ask so much money in the repair shop.
Great video dave.
Thanks 👍
Bro God bless you for this vid
By far the best video on the subject. Wish I had stumbled directly onto this one instead of the 10 others that did not do the job properly - resulting in alot of wasted time and cursing.
10/10.
Brilliant explanation. Thanks
The Best tutorial so far !! THANK YOU !!
Now I know why the dealer for my scooter ( kaboo skywalker 8s )sells tyres with motor as single part . Also same deal with front wheel. Should say is solid.
great video man. but i think this is not for everyone. dude this is really a hard work. I'm suprised how hard is that to change the tyres. 😨
Thanks a lot for your great explaining.
I'm not sure what's wrong with me but every single time I've tried to put on an air filled tube I've popped it. I've gone through 5 whole tubes. Every single time I've tried, I have popped the tube with the tire spoons. The amount of force required to get the last edge of the tire on is insane. I don't know how it's humanly possible to apply that much force delicately enough not to pop the tire but great enough to lever the last part over. What a frustrating mess. I have to replace my solid tire with another solid tire because yet again, I'm unable to get the spare tubes on, even with as much preparation and as amazing of a guide that I've watched. Sigh...
To repair a puncture that may happen within 1000km's, having to need to disassemble the motor is unbelievable! It is a nightmare! Settling off on board and returning by walking or public transport and all this crazy steps to repair it are something I can not afford another time. My scooter has gone and this adventure has come to the end.
Thank you for ideas. Replasment is easy now :)
About 2.5 years ago I was a mechanic for Bird for about 5 months. The front is definitely harder than the rear and I always need my wives extra set of hands to help out with the tire spoons. I never took apart the motor to change the front? I do like your idea with the needle nose vise grips. That's the key which is squeezing it together gives you more slack on the inside of the tire.
I’ve always wondered who maintained rental e scooters lime, bird, etc etc. but I’m curious I see you mention your wife helping you at times but where would you fix them at? Like your house? Warehouse?
All the companies maintain there own scooters from what I know. However when Bird started you could either be a charger or a mechanic. Just like chargers we were all independent contractors via the app. Bird wasn't very organized at all. If we could fix a scooter we'd get $15 otherwise we'd drop every other ones off at their warehouse and only got $5 each. We all were let go by Bird in Feb of 2019 and then they decided to do all of their maintenance from within. I became a charger then but that came to an end in Oct of 2019. I still own a M365 which was their original launch model and still is my favorite. The newer models were extremely hard to fix. I still have a ton of parts that I got from Bird which is great for my own scooter.
Almost forgot. After capturing the Bird scooters via the app I'd take them home and worked on them in my own garage. After that I'd have to find a nest (like the chargers) and release them to get my $15.
@@craigwflys hey thank you so much. I’m just a very curious person and you answered all my questions and then some mad appreciate. Also thanks for the info on newer models vs m365 that’s the one I currently have and I honestly love it but thought about upgrading because I’ve been wanting a second scooter for when friends come over but why not stick with what I know and love. Thanks again!
Glad I could help. I've thought about upgrading to the newer models but I have so many parts it just doesn't make a lot of sense. I do like the model with the larger capacity battery and the deck is also bigger along with the newer display. Looking back it was so much work for mostly at minimum wage levels however at the end of the day but it was fun going out on the hunt.
That trick with the mile grips just saved my life!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, this will be handy for me in the future . Top tips.
No problem 👍 Glad it helped!
Really good explained!
This is a way better method for doing this. Most people just do the zip ties but the pliers seem to be a much better option than just zip ties alone. Cheers!
Thanks a lot! This was really helpful.
Life saver 😊 Many thanks.
Thanks for this video, now i know how painful it is to do xiaomi tires.
Haha, glad we could be of service. It's a tricky tyre to change, but not impossible once you know how.
Nontheless very useful, i'll definitely save this video for the future. Thanks!
they get easier the more you do , i use a pair of clamps now and it work great
Thanks a lot for great tutorial. It saved me a lot of time and nerves. One idea: Use some lubricant on tire while putting it back.
Habt Ihr prima hinbekommen. Sieht nach viel Arbeit aus. Habe ich heute Abend ja meinen Spaß.
well done top video 👍
Thanks for the comment Daniel and glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you my man 💙🙏
🙌
Thanx this saved my ride 🙏🏼
Thank u, great job
Big help, thank you- although the spoons worked for me! 😁
top class video you make that look very easy the videos are very handy .
Great video very well detailed thank you
Excellent! thanks
Thanks good guide
Don't forget to put the washers back on both sides of the fork
Nice video very well explained
Thanks for the information 😁
I really admired how you played it smarter and not harder. Great video my friend!
Glad you enjoyed it
holy shit so much work for a puncture fix, I'm going to invest in anti puncture tires instead for my Xiomi Pro 2.
Thanks to your guide I managed to replace it without any problems.
Good job 👏
Why would you remove the stator(one part of the motor) from the rotor? seems to me like it only adds a bunch of unessecary work since it's not in the way of the tyre and tube. you also risk damaging the sensitive motor parts with the magnets hitting or scratching the sides when removing/installing.
Am I missing something?
I'm not a scooter expert, actually just got my first one recently. But I have a lot of experience in electronics and mechanical engineering.
If you try this youself you'll understand. it is basically impossible to put the front tube valve in the hole with the motor in there also the hole is on the side of the wire so it makes working on it super weird
@@martinzhang5533 Since my comment I have changed both the front and rear tube on my scooter. You can press out the valve through the tyre with your fingers. If it's hard to get it through the hole you can guide it out with a small screwdriver or something similar from the outside.
These hub motors are designed to have the tyre and tube changed without disassemby of the hub, you know. I think it's important that people know because these motors are more sensitive than people think. It might not break right away, but little shavings from scratching while assembling can greatly reduce the life span of the motor.
Super nice video help a lot. But i am little bit a nervous i just by accident damage the adhesive tape on the motor cover. If its raining, it could be damaged right ?
This vid made it relatively easy to change the tyre...I say relatively easy in the concept of easy the tyre itself was a nightmare to put back on well in my case had all the tools ..just the tyre was spawned from the arse of the devil resulting in me losing my shit with it multiple times before I managed to get it back on but managed it needless to say the video was really good and very informative to the process of changing the tyre
Toke me 3 hours to remove the inner tube and put a new one.
This Job is 1000X harder than what it looks. Make sure you you have plenty of tools and time before starting!
Very good video. Greetings from Austria
🤦🏾♂️ I’ve taken my scooter to Halfords and now from watching this video, it a piece of cake to do. Wish I watched this video before taking my scooter to halford for the same issue , but thanks pure electric
THANK YOU ❤️
Thanks bro!
Thank you for the good video and the outstanding tip on using the grip pliers to compress the tyre and create space on the opposite side to take it off. Definitely use good tools and smooth and edge-free tyre levers.
Very good video. Thank you :)
Our pleasure!
it was useful and acurate
I managed to change the inner tube without taking off the motor. And yes you badly need 3 vice grips to help you better. The rear tire is even more the hardest. Next time before even buying an escooter, I'll pick the airless tire to avoid so much hassle. Highly recommend recommended.
I have the Xiomi Pro 2 and gotta say the effort required to change a tube is enormous. So from that perspective the concept isn't really thought through by Xiomi.
Best video ever 👍🏻 Greetings from germany :)
Great video! Just wished you spent more time on the rear tyre too
Great video
Thanks!
this method is so, so much easier and safer than the brute force methods everyone else gives. Also your video is so clear and simple to follow - brilliant!
Glad it helped! Thanks Chris!
Thank you for totrial👍👈
