1 handed clamp set - easier than tags Tire levers Heat the tire for 3 mins in hot water 80°c Apply lubricant oil with hands on the rim's outer edge and the inner surface Apply oil with hands on the outer edge and inner edge of tire which has contact during mounting. Without lubricant there is chance of tire bead getting damaged. After the first tire bead goes in, with hand push the second bead as far as possible and use the clamps to press the tire on the sides to hold the tire inside the rim. Then use the tire lever to complete it. It is as easy as 10 mins job !
Thank for your video on rear tyre change, I did the rear tyre change in less than half an hour, clamped the tyre instead of electrical ties then put ratchet strap around tyre tightly to get the tyre to seal and pumped it up and it popped out, EASY.
Dude the only person on the entire TH-cam with this video and it’s not helpful with putting tires back on. No way zip ties made that much of a difference I’m struggling over here. These people made this hella complicated for a SCOOTER.
One thing I'd like to add regarding the initial tire inflation. The best way to get it up and running for free is by doing what I did and just taking your scooter (or just the wheel) to your local gas station and use one of the car tire pumps to inflate it. They usually are free however you also have to rely on the mercy of the gas station staff as these are technically not allowed to be used on bike wheels. Some gas stations might take issue with you doing this but my gas stations are pretty chill about it. Thanks so much for the video it helped me fix my flat rear tire on my KQi3 Sport, it was an absolute NIGHTMARE! NIU definitely makes great scooters until the moment you have to make repairs, then they turn to among the worst
Thank you for your video, I used it as a warm up before I tackled my sons. FYI, if your having trouble seating the bead of a tire, you can try using a ratchet strap around the perimeter to help push the beads against the wheel✌️
Well I got told I should plan about 5 -10 weeks until I get it back FOR A FUCKING FLAT TIRE if I still could At this point cause this lack of service I would love to get my money back and buy a different one
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your videos, I recently had to change my rear tire, and learning from your mishaps gave me the confidence to take on this tedious task, I wouldn’t have been prepared for the tire dropping when loosening it and as it isn’t back together yet, I’ll be sure to connect all the wires before my reassemble, lol I truly appreciate your videos, thanks again !!!
Just bought the scooter two days ago ..Done 50 km already. I think this video is fantastic and i do appreciate the work involved when not having a workshop filled with all the right gear. This is something i enjoy doing so i feel this tutorial is a godsend thanks! ❤
Just a note that I tried to change this, but ended up damaging the rim edges and it leaks air (even after adding bead sealer). Ended up needing a new motor/rim assembly. I've learned that while some things are fun as a challenge this one is best left to the scooter pros to change. But I appreciate the how to!
Psa.... Took me 30 mins to unplug wheel from power and remove wheel. This video is totally concise. Great work, sir. Thank you. I'm still working but you nailed it thus far
@@maxhamer2687it was a total butthump. it took all damn day. 29,000 skrews. Then getting the tire on the rim was a total workout. If a mechanic or some sort can do it for a quoted price before hand.... Just pay it. I'd pay $100 for this work, and I'm poor. Hell, 150 even. Eff this chore. (Sir that made this vid did a good job, it's spot on correct. It just didn't show the real time involved)
Thanks for the vid. My scooter's rear tire valve came apart and I needed to get the rear wheel off and one side of a tire off in order to replace it. Yes, the rims are soft and I ended up scraping a few sections. Also, I had to take it to my car mechanic's shop to reset the tire beads. He recommended that the valve core be removed when resetting tires as this allows a higher inflow rate.
Ok id like to update......the actual dismantling of the scooter was easy enough....and i used a heat gun instead of a hair dryer ...All basic tools then...I've taken off the tyre easy enough and a friend of mine will put the new tyre on at his garage because i cannot be bothered to struggle with the new tyre ....The tyree i actually bought isnt the best quality like the original so ive purchased a thicker and better quality tyre for the next removal in the future. Its not as bad as it looks guys ..this video made it alot easier .
I had the same problem of not being able to have the tyre put on perfectly, I just went to the gas station with an air compressor and set pressure to 50psi and started filling initially it wasn’t filling, I just pushed the tire down really hard into the ground and kept filling air, it locked the empty spot and filled it and stayed in
Niu is the most complicated scooter tire change. I do tires all day, but niu had to make theirs special. Uncommon tire size (gotta wait for China shipping) plus all the layers have to come apart.
This is the right way to do it but I was able to do it without disassembling the deck. You can just take off the rear tire and you have just enough wiring to do it with everything still intact
Hey, thank you a lot for your videos, yesterday we had to change the tires on my KQi3 and your video was a live safer, its horrible how complicated that is x,D and i need my eroller, so iam pretty thankfull for the time you took to show us how to do so :)
Thanks alot brother!! Just got new Scooter and it's making noise as if debris is stuck on the tires or brake pads. I cleaned the discbreaks without needing to remove the tire but it didn't stop the noise. Thanks for this video I just needed to see how tonremove the wheel. Keep up the good work your sure to succeed on TH-cam!
Thank you! Something punctured my rear tire and it's too bad to plug it, so I need to buy a replacement tire but wanted to change it myself to save money. This scooter has been serving me well for over 1000km now and having it be out of action sucks cause I have to waste more money driving my car instead.
My friend has the same scooter and her back tube has a leak. I am experienced with changing bike tires alot. Now without a clamp any suggestions that I can use instead?
My, what an ordeal! Two thoughts/conclusions from my POV. 1) If you decide to do this yourself, if the tire is no good (in my case, it is leaking), why not save some time and avoid the whole clamping, pushing/pulling/levering by just dremel-cutting the tire all the way through -- from the bead to the tread -- and then just pull the tire off? Putting a new tire on a rim is always easier, in my experience, so effort saved there. And potential rim/wire/misc. damage avoided.. 2) Speaking of potential damage, I am evaluating that AND what my time is worth. Might it be better to spend the money to send it back to the service center and have them assume all the risk and effort? (Sending it in is what they just told me was the non-DIY option). You would think I could take it to a dealer, but they did not say that was an option. Also, one last thought/question regarding a leaking tire: any of the puncture sealants work for that? Thoughts folks?
I used to change tires for a living as a young lad. I notice you didn't lubricant the tire before mounting the tire. Great suggestion, you can use petroleum jelly around the bead of the tire. It'll help getting the tire into the rim and seal. Once you get the air in
Ok.. great informative video. But for all of those who wish to purchase a Niu Scooter, you had better get your head examined. First of all, no bicycle repair shop will even go near them due to all the work involved to fix them. As a person who had to change the rear tire (flat, which can't be plugged)on the KQI3, its a total nightmare. Everything had to be taken apart on the scooter which was the floor board, the battery cover, wiring etc) Then try removing the old tire to put on a new one. Good luck !! Then after the tire is on the hub, it wouldn't inflate due to air leaking out between the tire and the wheel hub. All of this after just 6.5 months of light use on bike paths. I was so pissed off that I just gave it away to cut my loses. Bottom line. Stear clear of these things until repair shops open up close to where you live.
Please, it’s not that hard to change I hope everyone that has one sells them to me cheap I can change both tires in a half hour and do it correctly also I will put self healing tires on them when they go flat. You just need clamps , tire irons and tire lube and a little bit of IQ . I hear people complaining about little repairs like this , now I know why other countries are kicking our asses with innovation ( our kids are dumb quitters lol
You can always go outside, spray a small bit of ether (starter fluid) inside, and light it from the bead edge. The explosion will pop the beads on the rim.
Hello I am going to change the rear tire of my scooter, the question is when I take apart the entire rear part, will the scooter still be waterproof, thanks for your video
If my tire has a small leak can I put slime in it for a last resort or even put in a plug if need be? It’s my daily driver to work right now since my car is in the shop. I can’t wait 3 weeks for shipment of a new tire
I have this scooter and I would strongly recommend to avoid it and find something that's easier to maintain. I got a flat on my KQI PRO 3 and it's a nightmare to change
@@christophermclaughlin6433It’s also nightmare on many others scooters. So far I have changed the tires on Xiaomi Pro 2, Ninebot Max G30D 2, and Niu Kqi3 Max. They are all really hard to change… My first tire change was an absolute nightmare, ended up bringing it to my car mechanic, that put the new one one … My second and third tire changes were much much easier. Had better equipment and it took me like 1-2 hours. So it’s definitely doable 👍
Can you give a full list of all the materials used to replace the back wheel please? I dont have no tools to do this myself and im wondering if you could give me a whole list on where to get these tools.
He list out everything in the beginning and there’s another tutorial on removing the battery cover which you’ll need to do to get to the tire (I didn’t )
Thank you very much Dan! I'm waiting for the new Niu in 2 days as a gift for my wife! Where could I hide a Samsung SmartTag? I'm curious if we find some tunning for them..
Does anyone know 1. Where to get o-ring for rear wheel 2. What the size is as my has worn away I have tried many places no luck any advice would be great
I have something to update now I have had received a flat I've attempted to repair the hole with the tubeless repair kit ....It worked for about 2 days of normal use . I believe three tyres are of low quality rubber ...the hole was the smallest and it seemed to be easily punctured ....I recommend a change of tyre maybe switch to self healing tyre or solid like they have put in the nui q air ....This process to remove the back tyre is ridiculous.. I'm using this video on the weekend to put my spare tyre on then I'll be purchasing solid tyres for the future .
I had the rear tire going flat after riding for 30min/day, for 2 months. Got it changed at a good shop, same brand and model, lasted 3 weeks, cost 70 euros. The tires have gel to make it last longer, but it seems like tiny scattered stones on cobblestone perforate it, despite the ads saying you can ride on nearly any terrain...
Thanks for sharing this walkthrough video. I have one question, how come did your tire came out so easily? I could get one side off but the other one is stuck. It does not get lose like yours. Any tips? Thank you!
Hello! I hope you can help me... I punctured the rear wheel and took it to a store in my city... the problem is that the person broke the air valve on the wheel, so we have to look for another one, but I don't know which model is used for this scooter... 😔 I don't know much about scooters, I just know that there are several models (TR12, TR13, ETC) and I don't know which one to buy...
Not difficult to do, but dammit if they couldn’t of made it easier to service. Hey creator! How about just equipping the scooters with solid rubber tires? lol
What i don't understand is why Niu would make it where, you have to take apart the top of the frame just to replace the back tire? i mean don't they realize replacing tire is part of common maintenance?
I was thinking I like it because I lock my KQi3 Max through the back axle/frame space opposite the brake disc side. If it was easy to remove then anyone could just steal it.
Nice video.... A tire is a tire and when seating the bead some soapy water (or other tire lubricant like they use at tire shops) would have helped you immensely! Dry rubber on the rim is very difficult to seat, but with soapy water I bet you would not have had any issues! It's like any other tire for that matter.
Adressing everyone with flat tires!!! You can also try to use Slime or some other tire sealant to fix a flat tire. All you have to do is to order the correct one (for tubeless or Tube tires) and fill it in through the valve. It might be able to save you quite some money, stress and workhours of changing the tire!
Yeah you should have used soapy water as lube on the rim of the tires, I've seen auto mechanics do this on car. You will hear the pop if you used soap water, without it, its like dry sex, painful! :)
love my niu scooter, but im going to go with electric bicycles. it's safer, parts are easy to find and any bike shop can work on it. to me, it's just not worth the hassle especially when these tires leak all the time. thanks for the video.
Honestly, I only made the switch because my ebike was stolen, and I could get the scooter in the video for like 300 dollars off. I find the parts easy to find my back tire popped and they had replacment tires for both models. And they also had them on Amazon.
if I buy a gen2 hub motor (starting with a 9) for a Ninebot G30 and put it on my gen1 (starts with '6' ), will I get all the benefit from a gen2 motor, or are there other elements of the scooter that changed -like the controller or something?
Idk the difference is the motor from the 1st to 2nd gen but if the 2nd gen in rated for more wattage then likely no. The controller needs to be able to output correct voltage and wattage. For example I cant install a 58v 2000watt motor on kqi3. Just won’t work with the 48v system, also the controller can’t output 2000watts. Hope this helps.
I just got a flat. I ran over a sharp object and punctured the tire. These scooters have a garbage design. Changing a tire should not be this difficult. Don't buy these scooters. Garbage design.
@@123lilflako Any small tie down ratchet strap used for truck beds and roof racks. Put it around the circumference of the tire and tighten it. It forces the beads outward onto the rim to seal air. Then pump.
This looks insane, bro. I can’t believe you have to do so many steps just to change the tire. Godspeed to you!!

Don't do the boiling water trick with the Max folks, it will ruin the self healing layer inside the tire.
Make a video please brothaaa

Changed my tired and now my scooter won't turn on. Anyone have any idea as to why?
Where did you get the back break from??😮
What i don't understand is why Niu would make it where, you have to take apart the top of the frame just to replace the back tire? i mean don't they realize replacing tire is part of common maintenance?
I wonder if it deals with the rear tire providing most of the power as far as momentum on an e scooter, yeah it's a huge pain to do it
I was thinking I like it because I lock my KQi3 Max through the back axle/frame space opposite the brake disc side. If it was easy to remove then anyone could just steal it.
@@cbpuzzle someone willing to use tools to remove it could just bring a bolt cutter for your lock :p
Nice video.... A tire is a tire and when seating the bead some soapy water (or other tire lubricant like they use at tire shops) would have helped you immensely! Dry rubber on the rim is very difficult to seat, but with soapy water I bet you would not have had any issues! It's like any other tire for that matter.
Hey. I probably didn’t show it in this video. But I did use soapy water. No luck for me unfortunately. I even used a silicone lubricant
looks bonedry
Adressing everyone with flat tires!!!
You can also try to use Slime or some other tire sealant to fix a flat tire. All you have to do is to order the correct one (for tubeless or Tube tires) and fill it in through the valve.
It might be able to save you quite some money, stress and workhours of changing the tire!
Yeah you should have used soapy water as lube on the rim of the tires, I've seen auto mechanics do this on car. You will hear the pop if you used soap water, without it, its like dry sex, painful! :)
They ask me for 150 euros just to change a back tire 😂😂😂 i just do it my self thanks
My back brake disc got damaged what do I do
Great video, Do you know the psi for it? Mine is kid a low
The manufacturer recommends 32psi. But I usually put mine to around 40/45psi.
50-55
Witch wire is the soeed limiter
Very helpful, thank you for making these videos!
love my niu scooter, but im going to go with electric bicycles. it's safer, parts are easy to find and any bike shop can work on it. to me, it's just not worth the hassle especially when these tires leak all the time. thanks for the video.
Honestly, I only made the switch because my ebike was stolen, and I could get the scooter in the video for like 300 dollars off. I find the parts easy to find my back tire popped and they had replacment tires for both models. And they also had them on Amazon.
You're the best!
Do you have a video on how to replace the ball bearings for the rear tire?
How u get the e battery off
Your description doesn't say wrench needed please fix thanks
We want a video of connecting a theft alarm with battery
I have one and it shut down and doesn't want to work can you help me?
Hello, you know how can i change the cargo entry cover because is broken and i don't know what can i do and where can i find this part.
Thanks
I couldn't do they completely glued my tire to the rim on the qui3 max ...impossible to do this
Is there anything I can do to be able to get air in my tire if it doesn’t sit right on the rim?
Ratchet strap around tyre
Hi i need Airless Gummi tier for Niu kqi3 pro plz answer my Question i rely need help wear can i bay❓😢
I did make it in the end to change tire..But brutaly scratched it on inside there🙄
Hi can you show how to waterproof the scooter . I am trying to do it with silicon sealant. Tutorial would be really helpfull
2:31 3mm* on my Max. Fender is 2.5
if I buy a gen2 hub motor (starting with a 9) for a Ninebot G30 and put it on my gen1 (starts with '6' ), will I get all the benefit from a gen2 motor, or are there other elements of the scooter that changed -like the controller or something?
Idk the difference is the motor from the 1st to 2nd gen but if the 2nd gen in rated for more wattage then likely no. The controller needs to be able to output correct voltage and wattage.
For example I cant install a 58v 2000watt motor on kqi3. Just won’t work with the 48v system, also the controller can’t output 2000watts. Hope this helps.
Cómo se saca la tapa superior?
I suggest that you remove the brake rotor before trying to dismount and mount the tire. This will prevent the rotor from being damaged.
Damn, I have exactly the same model of electric scooter, and I didn't thought that changing a tire would be a pain in the ass 😳
It’s the same with most scooter unfortunately
@@carbrickscity I agree but with solid tires you have definitely less confort and grip
This is a garbage design. Don't buy them. Changing a tire should not be this difficult. The company should be sued.
Solid tires warp over time, then you're trying to change a solid tire
not really@@ScootLetsGo
I got it on but cant get the seal to fully pop on where it’s supposed to be part if the tire is to far into the motor 😂😂
The music in the background is way too calm for what’s going on in the video
Do these tires ever get flats?
There is a possibility of any air filled tire to get flat.
I just got a flat. I ran over a sharp object and punctured the tire. These scooters have a garbage design. Changing a tire should not be this difficult. Don't buy these scooters. Garbage design.
Ahora falta que pongas como quitar la tapa de arriba , por qué empiezas el vídeo ya desarmando eso y cuando terminas no explicas cómo ponerlo
Why is it such a pain in the rear
I suggest putting a ratchet strap around the tyre , then start pumping.
Explain? 😮
@@123lilflako th-cam.com/video/MK0P5MF7ioI/w-d-xo.html different tire same concept
@@123lilflako Any small tie down ratchet strap used for truck beds and roof racks. Put it around the circumference of the tire and tighten it. It forces the beads outward onto the rim to seal air. Then pump.
Thanks for that, now I will purchase a scooter that uses tubeless split rims. 😱
You mean tubed split rims. Only tubed tires have split rims. Tubeless tires always have a single solid rim.
@@108mtsan There are tubeless split rims as well. You use an O-Ring between the two rims to hold the air.
@@yournumberonepal Good luck finding models that have that.
