Here are the general steps for installing and mounting tires for an electric scooter:

  1. Prepare the necessary tools: spanner usually 18mm, spoke wrench, hand pump or air compressor.

  2. Remove the front or rear wheel by unscrewing the nuts or bolts that hold it in place on the hub.

  3. Remove the tube and the old tire from the rim

  4. Place the new inner tube in the tire before popping the valve out of the rim

  5. Place the new tire on the rim, making sure it is properly aligned.

  6. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure (usually between 30 and 45 PSI).

  7. Reassemble the wheel onto the hub and tighten the nuts or bolts by hand.

  8. Check that the wheel spins freely and that the tire is well centered on the rim.

Tips:

  • Use grease on the spokes to make them easier to install.
  • Use a socket wrench to tighten the wheel nuts or bolts more easily.
  • Check tire pressure regularly to maintain optimal performance of your electric scooter.
