But fret not, we're here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to fix a flat tire on your GOTRAX electric scooter, so you can confidently get back on the road in no time.

Step 1: Gather the necessary tools
Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools and equipment at hand:

• An adjustable wrench


• A tire lever or a flat-headed screwdriver


• A bicycle tire pump with a pressure gauge (compatible with your scooter's tires)


• A patch kit or a new inner tube


• Bucket of water and soap (optional)

The first step is to disconnect the power and turn off the scooter. Then, using the adjustable wrench, remove the nuts that secure the wheel to the scooter frame. Carefully remove the wheel and ensure that there's no damage to the brake system or the electric motor.

Step 3: Inspect the tire
Before trying to fix the flat tire, you need to inspect it for puncture marks, cuts, or other signs of damage. Fill a bucket with water and some dish soap and submerge the inflated tire into it. Look out for any air bubbles – this will help you locate the puncture.

Step 4: Remove the tire and tube
Once you've found the puncture, use the tire lever or flat-headed screwdriver to pry one side of the tire off the rim. Then, carefully pull the inner tube out of the tire and inspect it for any additional damage.

Step 5: Patch or replace the tube
If the inner tube only has a small puncture, you can use a patch kit to fix it. Follow the instructions provided with the kit to apply the patch correctly. If the tube has multiple punctures or severe damage, it's best to replace it with a new one.

Step 6: Reinstall the tire and tube
After fixing the inner tube, insert it back into the tire and make sure it's properly aligned with the valve stem. Carefully put the tire and tube back onto the rim, using the tire lever or flat-headed screwdriver if necessary. Once the tire is fully seated on the rim, inflate it to the recommended pressure using the bicycle tire pump with a pressure gauge.
