Changing the tire (front wheel)

In this guide, we will show you step by step how to change the tire on the front wheel of your VMAX e-scooter yourself.

Model All models with front drum brake
Time required approx. 25-35 minutes
Difficulty level Advanced

Tools required

  • 14 mm wrench or nut
  • 17 mm wrench or socket
  • Tire lever / tire lever
  • Optional: Lubricant (e.g. assembly paste)
Before starting, make sure that your VMAX e-scooter is switched off and stable.

Instructions

1

Removing the front wheel

First completely release the drum brake using a 14 mm wrench.

Then loosen the two axle nuts on the left and right using a 17 mm wrench.

Carefully pull the wheel out of the fork and remove the spacers and the drum brake.

2

Let the air out of the tire

Let all the air out of the tire before you start removing the tire.

3

Remove the tire from the rim

Place a tire lever between the rim and tire and carefully lift the tire over the edge of the rim.

Work your way around the rim bit by bit until one side of the tire is completely detached from the rim.

If necessary, you can use some lubricant to loosen the tire more easily.

4

Remove the tire completely

Once one side of the tire has been loosened, you can pull the rim completely out of the tire with a little force.

5

Fitting a new tire

Prepare the tire with a little lubricant and insert the rim into the new tire.

Use the tire levers to mount the tire back over the edge of the rim.

6

Inflate the tire

Fill the tire with the recommended air pressure (xy bar).

If the tire holds the air, it is correctly mounted.

When reassembling, make sure that all spacers are fitted correctly.
