- Tire replacement the way I learned from Goped.
While getting the tire slightly on the rim, I was assisting the rubber tire by pushing up on the inside. Up and over. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I just ordered a sport lite cruiser, used to have a sport a few years ago loved it. great video brother
I use an arbor press with the new tire on bottom and old one with rim an tire on top pull down on handle and done. Harbor freight 30 bucks worth it 👌
Should be using a vice..thanks for the tip!.
I ran over it with a back tire of a Prius after I got it started on the one side which is a pain in the ass
These goped sport tires are super miserable to change especially if using a billet wheel. With a billet wheel the rim is so slick that the tire keeps jumping off when you try to get it started on the first side. I found that for billet wheels to put like 3-5 zip ties through the spokes and around the tire so when the wheel gets on the 1 side you can lock the zip ties down so the tire will stay while you push the tire the rest of the way on. I used a hydraulic press and it made life so much easier but a bench top vice and some blocks of wood works good to but you MUST get it started on the one side first or you will crack/break the rim or rip a chunk out of the tire.
Interesting. Yes, super miserable. Yeah I don't have any kind of hydraulic press and I'm sure most people don't. I did the same thing with an aluminum rim, it came out fine. It did try to pop through so I know exactly what you are talking about. I successfully removed a good tire on a bad rim to reinstall it on a good rim. Don't ever waste time doing that. That is even more miserable. Haha! Hopefully my video and your information will helps tons of people. Thanks for the comment!!
I'm surprised they say stamp on it.. I'm seeing why I wouldn't. The reason you s because when you stamp on it, even though it's solid, its uneven and actually bends the rubber in a way it's not supposed to..I'm probably wrong..lol. I get why ya bounce it.. snugging it...make more vids... some of us are just getting started....lol
Good thing, goped are generally pretty easy to work on. I'll see what else I can do. I have a total rebuild coming on a sport, will be a new engine because unfortunately I used all my engines up.
By the way I learned that stomping tactic from Goped.
Where did you buy that wheel and tire? On the GoPed website it says that the tire and wheel assembly are 6 inches when it was actually 7. My buddy learned the hard way and bought it and we had to modify his tire a bit. I am in need of some new 6 inch tires and wheels for my go ped. Thank you
Wheel wheel is an original as far as I know. The tire came from Dave's Discount Motors. But honestly didn't know there were two different sizes. Everyone I've ever bought are all the same.
Thank you. I’ll buy it from DDM. I’ll call first to make sure it’s 6 inch. Have a good one
@@kaitanaka3468 you're welcome. I do know that there are different axle sizes. Good luck.
I am struggling to get it on. Any suggestions?
People have commented that they use a press, I use the kick method.
The hardest part is to get it started, you need to get at quarter of an inch of the tire onto the lip all the way around and then you can stomp on the tire, I usually put the old tire underneath the rim as I'm pounding down on the new tire to not mess up the rim.
If I have one that I need to do again Maybe I will do a short video of just getting it on the lip. It's not easy and it takes a lot of thumb work
A mallet will make your life easier 👌🏾
Funny you say that. I had a sprained ankle the last time I did this. Used my mallet. It works once that first edge is on but took longer. But an option nonetheless. Thanks
Ummm....you totally got it on, but crushed the bearing seal on the side laying on the pavement while you jumped on it.... and a little soapy water would make this half the battle.
The bearing was mint after. I checked it over very well, and this was a recommendation from GoPed. If you've never tried to install one of these tires , it is a pain in the butt. If you try a vice you're going to tear something up or anything else. There is no easy way to do it. Like I said this was from GoPed. That is how they install them. Exactly that way right on the floor. I guess you could put some boards under the tire for the wheel to fall through. Maybe next time
Save yourself the trouble spend the extra money get it with the rim
Haha, you could, at the time I didn't have the extra money as I am sure many don't and why I did the video. Thanks.
How long does the tire last for ?
Honestly, not sure. I have never owned one long enough. But after every hour or two of riding you need to readjust height of the wheel. I think I have a video on it but if not I can make one.
I have had one with over 250 miles, which is a lot on one of these, still had lots of life.
@@bdrgarage7039 oh wow that’s a lot of miles
@@bdrgarage7039 if you can make a video on it Im sure it will help a lot of people including me
@@LowLife-go1ke for sure, I will get on that. If you've gone too long and you feel it's not as fast or doesn't take off his quick you definitely need to adjust it. I do it regularly and never have issues. Give me a week. Ill get one up.
@@bdrgarage7039 thx man 👍
Lil lube bro .. just clean good and let dry
Ha!! I only did what the goped experts said to do. Now that I have done more than 30 it is a 10sec process.
Tried this and broke my ankle
If that is true, sorry to hear that. This is straight from goped and how they do it. Obviously try at your own risk.
@@bdrgarage7039 no it was a joke. But thanks and the way I do it is I use dish soap to slide that puppy in easier. Good video btw.👌
@@angelfernandez866 The soap does work. One time I had a broken Rim by the bearing with a good Tire and another one that was a good Rim but bad tire. I removed the good Tire to put on the other Rim. Very bad idea takes a long time and the tire was never really true.
@@bdrgarage7039 oh wow. I just got back into gopeds and after many years I bought a goped sport completely restored it. Took rust off primed and painter the frame candy crazy plum purple and I'm going all out. New g290 engine with solid beadlock rim and pipe deck everything brand new. It's going to look crazy
@@angelfernandez866 very nice. Post a vid. My yellow one in my videos is done. R230 2.5hp motor. Did 27 mph with a black magic. 675 spindle. I will get a video of it in the spring. Kept the engine as is. Great power everywhere. Also fixed rust and painted. A homemade deck and I have an aluminum one as well. I love it to cruise the neighborhood. Gopeds are legal by me.
