In this guide, we will show you step by step how to change the tire on your VMAX e-scooter VX2 PRO yourself.

Model VX2 PRO
Time required approx. 20-30 minutes
Difficulty medium

Tools required

  • Tire lever (2 pieces)
  • Tire mounting paste
  • compressor
  • Optional: Cable ties (3 pieces)
Before starting, make sure that your VMAX e-scooter is switched off. Work on a stable surface and have all tools ready to hand.

Instructions

1

Remove the wheel first

Depending on whether you want to change the front or rear tire, first look at the instructions for removing the relevant wheel.

Then remove the engine or wheel and place it on a stable surface or clamp it carefully.

2

Prepare the wheel safely

Take care not to damage the axle or the base of the cable.

Lubricate the tire generously with the appropriate mounting paste and deflate the tire completely.

3

Remove the tire from the rim

Carefully place the tire lever on the tire and lever the tire off the rim piece by piece.

Work evenly and carefully so that the rim and tire are not damaged unnecessarily.

4

Clean the rim and prepare the new tire

Clean the inside of the rim if necessary.

Then lubricate the rim and the new tire again with mounting paste.

5

Fitting the new tire

Pull the new tire back onto the rim using the mounting levers.

Tip: If you pull one half of the tire together with 3 cable ties, it will be easier to lever it onto the rim.

6

Inflating the tire

Use the compressor to inflate the tire to approx. 3 bar.

Then release some air again if the pressure is too high.

7

Complete assembly

Remove all remnants of the assembly paste and check that the tire sits cleanly and evenly on the rim.

When reassembling, make sure that all screws are correctly seated and that no cables are pinched or damaged.

Check the result

After assembly, check that the tire is correctly seated on the rim and evenly inflated. In particular, check that the wheel is firmly seated and make sure that nothing is rubbing or moving abnormally.

After the repair, test your VMAX e-scooter carefully when stationary or over a short distance before using it normally again in everyday life.

Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about this repair.

How much air should I fill in after changing the tires?

The optimum tire pressure for your VX2 PRO should be between 2.5 and 3.0 bar.

What do I do if the new tire is difficult to fit on the rim?

Mounting paste helps considerably. It can also help to pull one side of the tire together with cable ties to make it easier to lever the rest onto the rim.

Can I change the tire without removing the wheel first?

No, you should first remove the wheel or motor in question so that you can work cleanly and safely.
