DIY: The easiest & fastest way to install solid rubber tire on an electric scooter (Swagtron, M365) 

This worked out perfect took a few tries to get the rim and tire on the bottom set right but got it and the front tire went super easy ….thanks for the great video .

Omg thank you so much after couple of hours struggling i have done your method and it workeddddd!!! Thanks again man

this dude is quality

Great video, just a little concerned there are no soft pads on the vice and the steel tyre levers would damage and scratch the rim.

Thanks so much for posting this video. I was trying to wrestle a new rear tire onto my GoTrax, and was struggling to get it done. Your method works well. Fun ending, BTW.

Bra att veta mannen 😊

How did you collaborated the disk brakes going on straight

Thanks

Why ma hub motor stops after a few minutes? Please let know. Battery is good esc is new the hall sensor are fine and it'll stops after a few minutes.

Would this type of tire work on an INOKIM OXO? Thanks

I find that if I get the solid tire to the boil for 20 mins, I can easily just use 3 screwdrivers to put it on, no need other devices just two feet and 3 screwdrivers

Bro I just did this and should of watched this first I used a butter knife and my kung fu grip I wound up wetting the tire under hot water but I think it was just the water that made it slip on and before my tires came in I tried to patch the tube first which I pinched twice and wound up with a slow leak but don’t gotta worry bout flats now

Can you use this same method on a gotrax flex?

now we can't out the motor in water can we? so show us an alternative method of installing the tire on the motor

Since you're already going solid. Why not just cut the regular tyre off with a knife and save you 30% of the heartache?

taking off the tire.... cant you just cut it off with some sheet metal cutters? i need to change my tire uugh not looking forward to it.... looking for a good frying pan to use lol

I use a tire size 10*2.50-6.5, what size do I need to replace it with, please help.

I ordered online same 8.5” rim and solid tyre also with same 8.5”. I cooked that mf heated with heat gun but it didn’t go in. First can you tell me what size of solid tyre will fit in 8.5 inch rims and secondly guy dont try home trust me . There are some mechanical work let them do. U might hurt yourself or can break parts. Its not easy. 😢 they charge you for reason

5:03 it’s easy to do with the tyre that has holes 🤣

hahaha.. facts

Ha...i was going to say your cover is blown...everybody could see your face reflection in a soapy bubble

"She not home right now" hopefully she don't see the video🤣🤣 thank you for the amazing video though!! Very helpful my friend 🤘🏼

Dudes get a vice!!!!!!!! Omg get a freaking vice literally took me 2 seconds after I boiled the tire it just popped right on. Oh btw you sir are getting both a like and a subscribe for this one

Loved the wok/wife joke while installing and instructing...great job !

Rubber has a *very* low thermal conductivity, If you want the tire to be warm all the way to the core, you leave it in longer

Best video ever loved the screwdriver in the holes for the last part of lining it to rim part I was having issues with kudos good work now for back tire XD gotta remove all the guards and shit around it first though then comes the fun part lmao

I had a thought... you can exploit the holes on the sides of the tire. put 4 rods in each hole equal distance around tire. Use 4 ratchet straps to stretch the tire, then slide in your rim. Probably still need to lubricate the rim and tire and a screw driver to get the rim in. But this way you limit the damage to your rim. Anyway, Im not sure if the metal rods will tear out of the rubber holes, but you could put 2 rods per side to transfer the stress load over two holes. Since the holes are close to each other, the rods can be spaced a little further. Such as... rod-hole-rod. anyway. i hope this helps or maybe you can alter my idea for better or simpler results.

Removal technique was a waste of time. Take a saw and saw the old tire off. Takes 5 secs.

Mine came with solid rubber tires (HiBoy S2 Pro) and they are rock hard with hardly any flex at all. I'd like to replace them with honeycomb tires but they look like a pain to remove 😩.

Best. Most informative. Funniest. Tutorial video for scooter tires. Ever.

I got the back tire done without a vice. The front will have to wait till I regain some strength 😅 I just put tire on ground and stepped on it. pried it on with smaller tire irons. Also used zip ties 😅😅😅 the smaller tire irons are bent to shit 😅

he started when still day light and finished at night.... just saying... it takes looooongggg time.

only problem with all these videos using screwdrivers and metal tire irons is the damage it causes to the rims. i'm wondering if you could use the hard plastic bicycle tire levers instead.

We won’t tell your wife

I cant be the 1st to comment...wooohoooooo😁

Haha you got busted...hey thank you...I have to replace my tires on a scooter my brother mugsy gave me..your video helped alot...I don't have a heat gun but I do have an old pot I can boil water in..

I liked because of the wife comment

Thank you 1000x. Best $12 at Harbor Freight I’ve ever spent (for 2 24” tire irons). If you have a vice on your workbench, this is your best option.

I really dislike a metal to metal contact situation, particularly on a motor hub tyre, so will have to try to protect the rim in some way :(

Waste of time , fitted my one in two minutes on the floor using just hands without worming , just a little spray grease

Thank you so much boss! Just used this method and it took 10min max

👍🤣she knows Thanks for the video, I will doing the same swap to soild tire

I just heat the tire and used WD40 and some muscle 😅 it work for me.

Vuaeco always make me laugh .. :)

Lessons learned from the video. 1. Get a Vice. 2. Get your own pan.

Thanks man definatlye gonna try that hot water thing and i need some steel tools xD

Thanks for taking the time to document!. “Oops..” Lols Nice touch🤙🏻

Good luck with handling the wife! 😂

Rubber for dinner honey?

Worked great for getting the tire on but having a difficult time getting the bead to seat, do you have any recommendations when using a solid rubber tire with holes on the inside, not the outer edge

Thanks mate could t have done it without you. I had the motor in the front wheel so i tried without the vice first. You have to use the vise. Dont try it without a vice.

Also I put a rag on both sides off the vice so not to mess up the rim

Nice, I would cover the vice with some cushioning material so not to damage the rim.

the fact its so hard to put these tires on makes me not want to get them..

Just couldn’t do it so ended selling the scooter and got a bike

Haha the nice part was funny. Made me forget how fitting this tyre is difficult

Lol the pan smell like rubber

Too bad I don’t have a big tire vice and tire iron

Have a question man I seen your green machine video and it in survived me to make something of my own and I slapped a 1800w motor on and I've went through two wheels already and don't know where to get the tyres from and I've already had to buy two broken Green Machines just to use a tires off them so was wondering if you still have that or know what size the front wheel was that would be super appreciated 😎?? Keep up the videos

Thanks for your video, it worked great, I put some scrap plywood on each side not to damage the wheel.

My wife’s fried rice pan!😂😂

Nice video. very informative. Lots of practical tips. loved the funny ending. Liked & Subscribed. Questions: Where did you buy the solid tire? Did you put solid tires on front & rear tires of your scooter? Thanks for sharing.

I've done a lot of experiments on this but the best way that works for me is to put and oil like chain oil around and use flat screw driver's and stepping on it with shoes no need to submerged in boiling water... I replace even bigger than that fat solid tires...

BTW, what is the size of your Vice, is it a 4" jaw width and 2" throat depth, maybe I need to get a bigger 5" vice?

She not home right now 😂😂

While this is tough to do for the first time, having a second person to help is nice. Also 3 tire irons can help make it faster (2nd person holds the 3rd) .

Hi, can you install a solid tire for me for a ninebot 10" tire? I will pay you! Do you happen to around California?

I'm looking to not fk my rim up lol. You got it yes, just have OCD. The tire I got is a replica for a e scooter. I love them. I want to reverse the tread on one of them so it doesn't look tacky. I'm making something pretty cool and solid e scooter aluminum or a sturdy comppsite material rims, solid flat free tires and Durable ceramic bearings. These things go forever lol. If you get a grinding wheel and put a polishing Pad on it, then use that to speed up the wheel. Use the inertia to to push the wheel off. Do this with a solid axle. So. If you can't get it off that way, do it afterwards to balance the tire and have a heat gun.. I made my wheels bills near perfect with balancing. I'm just pissed about the tread

Very helpful! Thank you Good luck with the wok LOL

Thanks for sharing 🙏 I don't have a vise, so I'm gonna have to improvise 🤣

Cool tire... :D

I can't remove the tire

No, this is not working for me. The wheel won't stick to the thingy. It just falls of whenever I put a little pressure with the two tools.

Hahah the wife bit at the end. Excellent, straightforward video. Thanks mate

What a hack job!!! Did you see the damage on the rim edge😂😂😂

O M G

opssss

Lol on the last part.... The frying pan is missing thanks for idea of changing tyre

The soapy water definitely helps but be prepared for a fight

Thank you. I tried for a couple of hours before seeing this video. Thank you, thank you!!!! The only way to get these thing on.

I did something similar using my feet. I just balanced on it with all my weight (acted as the clamps) and forced it with two flat head screw drivers...no lubrication as well. I did however boil that bish for 20+ minutes. Thanks for this video...it helped me get angry at my rubber wheels. :)

Thank you! I have watched two mother videos with different methods and they didn’t work. Your method is the only one that worked!! Again, Thank you and if anyone needs to put on a solid rubber tyre I recommend this guys video. It works!!!

Haahaaa why my frying par is smelling like rubber?

Does anybody in Minnesota know how to change these? And we'll do it less than $50

Instaltion of solid scooter tires are kind of like pulling excaliber from the rock or untying the knot of destiny. Almost unattainable by mere mortals without a golden fleece and the "holy vice of destiny". The road to tire instalation is litterd with the corpses of the fallen who foolishly thought they were worthy....

5:03 it’s easy to do with the tire that has holes 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you! I’m off to buy a vice! Lol 😍

Why not cut the old tire in half? :P

Anyone know if you can put a inflatable rear tire on the existing rim. I am not a ran of how harsh the ride is with a solid rear tire.

how about the motor wheel???

😂😂☝🏽 china made

i can put on solid tyre turboant x7 pro

You are brilliant sir

Do we need a rubber rim around the wheel for this sort of wheel ?

Does any vice work?

Is that the only way? I don’t have much tools like that

So cute ! frying pan smell rubber.

Hahaha this was awesome and funny!

Excellent video! Thanks for posting ❤️

You are a genius!
