Scooter rim replacement

Replacing a scooter tire is quite a task. But don't worry, we'll explain it to you step by step. Replacing the rear wheel is a little more complicated than replacing the front wheel. To make the replacement of the rims as easy as possible, it is recommended to use a jack. This is where your scooter leans on while you are changing the rims.

Step 1: Remove all parts that hinder you when replacing the rim of the scooter. Remember where all the bolts come from and sort them if necessary, this will save you a lot of hassle when mounting the tire.

Step 2: Detach the rim from the scooter. Depending on the type of scooter, the rim can be stuck in different ways. Some rims are fixed with several small bolts, others with a large size 22 or 24 cap.

Step 3: Deflate the tires.

Step 4: When there is no more air in the tires, press the scooter tire to the center of the rim using a vise or a tire device.

Step 5: Using tire spoons, detach one half of the scooter tire from the rim. Repeat on the other side. Now that the tire is separated from the rim, it's time to assemble your new rims. When replacing a tire or rim, always place a new valve in the rim.

Step 6: Lubricate some dishwashing liquid on the belt so that the rim is easier to place.

Step 7: Place one side of the rim in the tire.

Step 8: Using the tire spoons, wrap the other side of the tire around the rim.

Step 9: Using a compressor, bring the tire to the correct tire pressure.

Step 10: Mount the tire to the scooter. The new rims are now on your scooter and you can go back on the road!
