How Do You Fix A Back Tire On A Motor Scooter?
The most common culprit for scooter back tire problems is a flat tire. It’s best to always carry a spare tire and tube already installed on a wheel rim on your scooter. This saves you the hassle of having to remove and install a new tube on a wheel on the side of the road. Fixing the Flat Tire Step 1 Remove your tire after stabilizing your scooter either in a workspace or on the side of the road. Before jacking up the scooter, loosen the wheel center nut or rim nuts connecting it to the wheel hub or wheel axle, depending on your scooter model. Make sure the scooter is on its kickstand and you have something solid to hold up the rear of the scooter when removing the wheel. If not possible, then lay the scooter on its side in the grass so you can access the wheel. When jacked up or laid down, remove the secure nuts completely and pull the wheel off the hub or axle. Step 2 Deflate the tire to no air pressure using your air gauge or a screwdriver. If it has a split rim, remove all the rim
