Instructions

1

Preparing the wheel

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

Then take the engine or wheel and place it on a stable surface or clamp it carefully. Take care not to damage the axle or the cable outlet.

2

Prepare the tires and deflate them

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

3

Remove the tire from the rim

Carefully place the tire lever on the tire and work your way around the tire bit by bit until the tire is removed from the rim.

4

Clean the rim and prepare the new tire

If necessary, clean the inside of the rim and lubricate both 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 side of the tire together with 3 cable ties, it is much easier to lever the tire onto the rim.

6

Inflating and cleaning the tire

Inflate the tire to approx. 3 bar using a compressor. Then release some air if necessary to set the optimum pressure.

Then remove all remnants of the assembly paste.

When reassembling, make sure that all components are correctly seated and the tire is evenly positioned on the rim.

Check the result

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

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