How Do You Change A Scooter Tire?
Changing a tire on a scooter is easy. All you’ll need are the proper tools and some basic knowhow, so read on to learn more. Find the wheel nuts and remove them. Wiggle the wheel off the scooter’s body. Remember to note which way the tire came off, because you’ll need to put it back on the same way. Find the valve stem and press it inwards to remove all the air from the tube. Once the air has been expelled, remove the nut from the valve stem. Start separating the bead of the tire by pushing it away from the rim. When it has been completely pushed away, insert a tire iron near the valve stem and pry the tire over the rim. You will now “break” the beads. Hold the first tire iron and insert the second one as close to the first as possible. Pry up a piece of the tire and then move the second tire iron farther away from the first, prying more of the tire as you go. When you have pried up as much of the tire as you can, take the second tire iron and insert it under the rim on the other side.
