Instructions

1

Prepare the bike

Depending on whether you want to change the front or rear tire, first review the instructions for removing the corresponding wheel.

Next, take the motor or wheel and place it on a stable surface or carefully secure it in place. Be careful not to damage either the axle or the cable outlet.

2

Prepare the tires and let the air out

Generously apply mounting compound to the tire and completely deflate it.

3

Removing the Tire from the Rim

The tire lever is used to pry the tire off the rim

Carefully place the tire lever against the tire and work your way around it bit by bit until the tire is loose from the rim.

4

Clean the rim and prepare the new tire

If necessary, clean the inside of the rim and reapply mounting compound to both the rim and the new tire.

5

Install New Tires

The tire is pulled onto the rim using cable ties and tire levers

Use the tire levers to mount the new tire back onto the rim.

Tip: If you secure one side of the tire with 3 cable ties, it will be much easier to pry the tire onto the rim.

6

Inflating and Cleaning Tires

Inflate the tire to about 3 bar using an air compressor. Then, if necessary, let some air out to adjust the pressure to the optimal level.

Then remove all traces of the assembly paste.

When assembling, make sure that all parts are properly seated and that the tire is evenly seated on the rim.

Check the result

After assembly, check that the tire is seated correctly on the rim and is inflated evenly. Check the tire pressure and make sure the wheel spins freely.

E-Scooter repairs, test your VMAX E-Scooter carefully while stationary or over a short distance before using it normally again in your daily life.
