How to Easily Install Solid Tyres on Your Electric Scooter

Upgrading to solid tyres on your electric scooter can enhance performance and eliminate flat tyres. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure a successful installation.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Before you start, make sure you have the following tools on hand:

• Tire levers


• Screwdrivers


• Wrenches


• Lubricant (such as soapy water)


• A solid tyre suited for your scooter model

Step 2: Remove the Wheel from the Scooter

1. Turn off your electric scooter and disconnect the battery.


2. Use your wrenches to loosen the bolts securing the wheel to the scooter.


3. Carefully detach the wheel from the frame.

Step 3: Remove the Existing Tyre

1. Deflate the existing pneumatic tyre completely by pressing down on the valve.


2. Use the tire levers to pry the old tyre off the rim. Take care not to damage the rim during this process.

Step 4: Lubricate the Rim

Apply a generous amount of lubricant (soapy water works well) to the rim. This helps in easing the new solid tyre onto the wheel.

Step 5: Install the Solid Tyre

1. Start by positioning one side of the solid tyre onto the rim.


2. Utilize your tire levers to gradually work the other side of the tyre onto the rim. This step might take some effort, so be patient.


3. Ensure the tyre is evenly seated on the rim with no misalignments.

Step 6: Reattach the Wheel

1. Position the wheel back onto the scooter frame.


2. Tighten the bolts securely using your wrenches.


3. Reconnect the battery and power on your scooter.

Tips for a Smooth Installation
