The more details the better. Maintenance and repair videos are so under-rated. If this becomes the focus of the channel, I'd expect there to be a long steady growth in views over time because we're still in the nascent period of growth this industry. If these videos are designed to be relevant both now and 20 years from now, then they become more relevant over time. {I plan to keep my wheels running at least that long.} This type of content is anti-ephemeral. so the algorithm will disfavor it, but it will pay off long after the marketing-hype channels cease to be relevant. This channel could be a sleeper! 🚀
Thank you VERY much for this thorough instructional video. I just completed changing out the bald tire and tube on my V12 HS after ~2400 miles on the original tire. I knew this would be a big task, and it was! Fortunately, there was no guessing about the steps due to your clear instructions. One note for those that may read this comment: When installing the final tire bead (with the tube inside the tire) use the tire levers with the "spoon" facing up (aka smiley face). I learned the hard way that point down is much more likely to pinch the tube! Oh one more scary detail, I discovered that two of the 5mm cap screws that hold the pedal to the wheel had completely failed (heads missing). Obviously if the remaining two had failed, it would have been catastrophic. I replaced all 8 (4 per side) cap screws on my wheel. This should be a regular check for all V12 riders.
Thank you very much for your instructions. They helped me a lot, I would add Only One Thing from my own experience. when you put on the tire on the rim lubricate the edge of the tire from i side. Helps a ton, i could not do it without this step.
Great video. However I would notice just few details to make it perfect. Like not pulling the hall sensor connector together with the phase cables. Instead, it is better to just detach it gently by pressing its latch. Check your motor cables since one of the insulation cover is damaged (easy to cover with 3M rubber). The two top silver plates that hold the cables, have a rounded and a sharp side. Put the rounded or softer edges side against the cables. Before putting a new inner tube, always check the inside of the outer tire for nails etc to prevent punctures on the new tube. And at the end, it is always a good idea to re-calibrate the motor with the Inmotion app. It is very hard to attend each and every details when making these tutorials. However, this is by far the best I have seen. Great job. Thanks a lot.
Watched this vid twice before changing the inner tube and once during. Would not have been able to do it without this as a reference. Can’t thank you enough!
This was long and tedious but incredibly valuable step by step. I bought a second hand v12hs with 800 miles on it and I rode about 100 more miles before I had surgery recently.i should be cleared to ride again in 3 weeks but I look at my poor v12 in the corner with her old stock worn tire. I'm going to splurge and get a seat and a new tire and tube. I could have a shop do the work but hell I got 3 weeks and might as well do it and learn it and at least can say ya know how. Thanks so much bruv this video is A + effort and quality. Godspeed!
Thank you. Took me 4 hours to take the cover off and another hour 30 to get the tire off the rim 😅 the next day. Another 45 min to get the tube and tire back on, I haven't put the cover back on yet lol.
The instructions were great. I would probably add to make sure the pump nozzle doesn't stick to far out from the rim. because as soon as I finished, my nozzle got ripped out again, and now I had to start all the way over, but I kinda want to just break the whole thing and give up. I could not see me doing this every time this happens smh. But thanks for making it as easy as possible
@@2cells1pack your video is better than another one that I found earlier. A little suggestion, based on my own struggle, is that the video better mentions that we shall spread the shell outwards WIDE ENOUGH (1 inch or so), and/or show a close-up picture of the motor surface right behind the hanger. Back then I was unaware of that clamp structure, and it took me quite some time to figure out.
It doesn't hurt, but the probability that water can get to that location -> without shorting the driver board or other electronics is extremely low. Therefore I decided it wasn't super pertinent.
Let me know after you've completed it - and if there's anything that we missed, or could've pointed out better. Sometimes it's hard to know what's good context to have when attempting it for the first time
@@2cells1pack Just got around to finishing the tire change. It was a success! Your video was very clear and helpful. The only thing that was a little tough for me was pulling up the case from the wheel. It didn’t seem to come off and I second guessed myself that I didn’t have all the screws taken off. Finally realized it was just stuck and was able to get it off with a little persuasion. I was very careful with screws with magnetic plate, but realized there was one screw missing from inside side panel. I ended up leaving off one bottom otter shell screw by foot plate. It doesn’t seem to be a problem. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for the very helpful video. It helped me change the tire myself. That saves a lot of money and time. Best regards from Germany. George 😅
Thank you so much for this video! My V12HT tire popped, and I needed to install a new one. I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk taking my EUC apart, but with this video, I was very confident in doing it myself! I doubt it will help, but I'll give you a shoutout on my next video that I'm posting! keep it up!
Guys this is Great Video 🤙 And I Enjoy them alot. I watch his Video always when I install anything in my EUC But just to add on SAFETY ❤ Make sure to put the Motor the Same Direction because if you Put the Motor Incorrect it Can Cost You Big Damage when You Press Your Orange Power Botton and Your V12 will Jump out for no Reason. ( CoochTech install His Tire in the past and His EUC Jump off and hit his wall)
Fantastic! well done, good job! I like the professional way you did this and you have my respect! Please, please, please are you able to make a V11 tire change (including re-assemble) video. I would love to have a step by step video to follow, made by you and your wife. Please help me, I have been riding it for 2 years with over 11,000km, my tire change is way overdue.
Good idea using your knee instead of wishing for a third hand -- you'd probably would have a hard time shopping for shirts and jackets if you had a third hand. Thanks for putting together a very helpful video. I'm going to give changing my own inner tube a shot now, and I'll be hitting up your Amazon links for sure!
I have a V12 and an S18 tire change coming up in the next few weeks/months and I am dreading them (they will be my first). Many thanks for these videos!
@@2cells1pack Finally got to the point where I had to do some tire changes. Not my favorite thing, but your videos made it much more approachable to us noobs. Many thanks again!
This made my tire change a breeze. The music was very annoying. It just wasn't needed. Thanks for the step by step video. I was dreading changing my tube until I found this.
It's quite similar to the Begode EX30 /T4 videos. Our studio had to get relocated and is scheduled to be operational in May. Once that happens, we can start to make these videos again for the newer wheels.
I’ve had my V12HT for 3 days and I absolutely love it. But already got a flat, and it wasn’t from a puncture. The air suddenly escaped when riding it, I heard it, all at once. Was assuming it was a tubeless tire and the seam had broken mid riding. Sadly I now realise it’s a much bigger job.
@@2cells1packthis is what I think happened to me. Also 3 days, with correct PSI. I’m very thankful for this video. eWheels was great - they gave me a $100 credit and are now overnighting me a new tube. Question - would you recommend sanding down or putting some type of gloop around it so it doesn’t happen again? 😬
@@2cells1pack I just had this issue and my tire is flat. Do you have any suggestions or remedy for this sharp edge issue? I really don't want to go through an inner tube change just so the rim can slice it again
HI DRZZIT, there is no indication on the motor itself, however the Blue/Green Phase wires come out from Left Side and Yellow/Hall Sensor from the Right Side.
Also, it was mentioned that the tire's valve stem was on the left side when disassembling; noticing this type of detail helps as these details help the flow during reassembly. Good catch. Manufacturer's are beginning to color code the phase wires, since many people have experienced the surprise Tasmanian Devil unleashed when wires get crossed. 😖
hmm. possibly. I want to focus on tire changes first and get a good knowledge base out there for all the popular wheels. Once this is complete - then i'll go back and do more nuance'd items most likely. (I do this on my spare time, so can't really push out videos too frequently)
Great video! However, on the v12ht, I also think the motor has an orientation and needs to be put in the right way. Otherwise there will be a dangerous wheel spin. So the cables that were left of the front light need to be left of the front light, when reassembling.
@@2cells1pack You put so much information in that video that I must have missed it, sorry! I have a V12HT that will come up on a tire change in the next couple of months - Have bookmarked your video for this!
Excellent!..clear and concise, very many thanks👍👍. A quick question.. I noticed that on your HT, most of the cables under the top cover are sheathed in heat shrink….Did you do that, or did your wheel come like that? Excellent video…Very many thanks. 👍👍
Awesome detailed video. Saved it and shared it with friends for future reference. Only issue for me is I can’t find a replacement tube for my v12ht… any suggestions would be much appreciated. - Jordan
Such a great tutorial thanks for creating & sharing your techniques. I road home from work on my V12ht and stopped in front of my house then heard a pop then fiss and tire was flat, I'm assuming a pinch flat😮. BTW do you ever run sealant in the tire tubes?
With the amount of times I've put a bike tire in the wrong direction even when trying not to, the thought of getting both tire AND motor direction right makes me sweat! Definitely gon be quadruple and quintuple check them xD Had dreams about a Michelin tire, but sorrow, 12'' Michelin tire looks too big. The gap is 95 mm wide and the 3'' tire has 7 mm gap height-wise. So max size seems to be w90/h80-12. And the Michelin 12'' are 90/90 and 100/80 but no 90/80 T_T Literally 1 cm away. Gon have to be something else. Hopefully it does something about the speed wobbles.
Great Video! I used this to change my tube. Question: how do you get the angle stem to be more inline with the rim rather than sticking out? I have tried 3 different brands of 45* stem tubes and they all stick out more than the original.
got less than 100 miles on my HT before my tub suddenly crapped out while riding. miffed about it but thanks for h vid. what tube? they seem plentiful on amazon, for all the wrong ones
I changed the tire today, and everything went smoothly as in your video. However, during the test, after reconnecting all the cables and trying to start it, the wheel immediately accelerated to almost 95 km/h. I had the bike on a stand, so the wheel wasn't touching the ground. It was extremely dangerous as it seemed like it wouldn't stop. Then a warning message appeared, and fortunately, it shut off. Now I'm afraid to start it again! What could I have done wrong? All the plugs and cables look perfect...
Absolutely amazing video, loved it. I just got my first EUC a couple months ago and did a tire change following this video with no issue whatsoever, i have a question if amyone could answer id really appreciate it. How should i charge wheel? some say leave it plugged in an hour after reaching 100 volts some say dont, what should i do?
Batteries can be charged to 100v. After fully charged, it’s good to leave charger on to balance. The only bad thing is if you keep it 100% charged for a long period of time as it’s not good for battery longevity
Thanks for this video. Is there any risk of denting or damage the V12HT rim with metal tire spoons? Are you using a lot of finesse or is it pretty difficult to damage the rim with metal spoons? Thanks!
It looks like you have blue Locktite on the pedal hanger screws going in (16:01)? If so, do you have a product recommendation/Amazon link for the specific Locktite? Likewise, are those the only screws that get Locktite? (like are they the only metal to metal for this install?) Are the elongated hex drivers necessary for reaching some of the bolts, or would standard short length ones (like the hex sockets sets you have linked) also work? Also, in the description, there's a link for a torque wrench; does anything need to be torqued to a specific force? Is the impact wrench you are using set to any specific setting (to tighten/not over tighten properly)? Any Amazon link/recommendations for the pry tool? How about the tape, if that needs replacing? Any recommendations for silicone seal, if that needed redoing? Or wire insulation tape to redo any frayed wired noticed once inside? Finally, any tips for smoothing out the sharpness in the rim valve hole that seems to be popping so many tubes? I'd guess the whole tire would need to be removed to smooth it on each side, huh? Would it be possible instead to put some kind of nylon sleeve in that hole to buffer the tube rubber to metal contact? Thanks for the video and any extra hints!
I dont have one for the blue loctite - but make sure you get a real one. A lot of the ones on amazon are fakes i believe. I think the standard ones should be fine as well - the only hard to reach screws are the ones on the pedal hanger. Torque wrench - only used for certain models where manufacturer releases spec (which is rare) Impact wrench - it's a ryobi, so not strong at all. I would be very careful if you use a strong impact wrench like Milwaukee, Dewalt, etc. Pry Tool - you can also use a screwdriver as it's just for the pads that you need to pry. Not sure you need a dedicated pry tool. You can add some silicone to the covers that cover the phase wires and battery cables - but from my experience there isn't any dirt/water intrusion in that area to begin with to make cause for concern. Sharpness of rim valve - only appliees to the HT version of the rim. We use either dremel or a sander to smoothen it out. Can also cut up a piece of old tube to slip over the valve for more protection.
I have heard that the v12 stock tire tracks, have you found this to be a problem, and if so which tire would you recommend for street use. Thank you for your videos :)
Any reason that the waterproof gastet doesn't get fresh application of water sealant where the cables have been pulled out and re inserted? Is it waterproof enough as it is?
Couple reasons: 1) To properly reapply the silicone, you'd have to remove all old silicone before applying new one 2) The goal of the silicone is to remove the air gaps which allow water to go in - being that the gasket is internal and covered by multiple layers (which prevent water intrusion to begin with) when you put the gasket back on - the "cut" in the silicone when you removed will match up perfectly when you replace it - meaning that the "air gap" isn't significant. With where the connector is, and probability of water getting there, splashing on top of the rubber gasket - the probabilities are close to zero. If you submerge your wheel and water seeps in - the silicone won't do anything as the bottom of the seal isn't watertight either.
Nice that's great to know! Any tips on getting the new tube valve through the rim hole? Trying with force at all sorts of angles and it doesn't seem to go in..... no worries if there's no special trick! I can keep trying!
I am new to this. Do you not have to remove the battery cables for this tire change? Is it because the motherboard is not being touched? Thanks for these videos.
Are you referring about where the connect to the mother board? If so, you can peak inside the cover and see the colored wires connected to the posts if you ever forget.
@@2cells1pack I succeeded on my 6th inner tube. Wearing gloves made a huge difference. Unfortunately the shell leans left when the wheel is upright. I don't know if this is due to the crash that broke my inner tube or from reassembly. Is there something I should do to check/fix this? Thank you!
my tire is getting kind of bald ill need to replace the tire and might as well replace the tube too. is there any tire you would suggest that I use for a long time. I don't want to have to do this again for a long time haha.. thank you so much in advance
Can you run tubeless ? Perhaps tape the rim and install “uxcell Brass Angled Tubeless Tire Valve Stem 3pcs for Moped Scooter Motorbike”. Tubeless would be awesome as to just carry a simple plug kit and co2 inflater.
@@2cells1pack why tubes? If you have a flat miles from anywhere. The steps you take to change a tube out in the field would be impossible. I run tubeless on my commuter bike and have plugged quite a few flats pumped them up and back on my ride, also ran hundreds of miles with the plug holding just fine.
@@2cells1pack Oh, someone pointed out I may have been using the spoon backwards. At the start you use it one way, towards the end you use it flipped; I didn't try flipping it like you did at the end. That might be an important call-out that I missed.
Also, what is the best tire pressure to have if I'm a 5'4 female,about 75 kilos, probably more like 80kg 😂. If anyone knows it would be a great help thank you
I feel that this work is more intensive than the average consumer. My goal is to provide video instructional that the average consumer could follow along.
@@2cells1pack May be intense, but no video or site able to show how to do it the right way. you are the pro we need your video if you plan one later thanks
The hole for the valve, is it also sharp in the ht version? I’m thinking of shaving it off some, grind I mean, make it smoother. I’ve seen cases where their tube got cut near the valve stem
You really should tell people to put it in transport mode before you do any of this. When I turned my wheel on it did indeed “go crazy” and broke the handle. If it had been in transport mode I could have just checked for errors instead of wresting it into submission in panic mode. Had no errors before I changed this tire. The bonding isn’t going very well.
Tire is a very personal preference. Some people hate the stock tire - but I find it alright. Tire choice is also very dependant on the type of riding you do.
Where can I even find the right innertube? I popped the new tire i just put in it fit perfect but the nozzel was out to far. But i cant find the right tire with the turned nozzel anywhere.
Hmm, something was wrong. When I turned ON my V12 HT after this video. It's starting to run at max speed, so the wheel hit my leg. And then smashed by walls. Controller stopped. Only headlights glowing lonely in the dark. Three months passed, but the blood still is on my leg. I'm scared to run it on again. What to do now? What was my mistake? I was doing it all step by step.
I think the V12 has so many screws to think about. For an amateur to attempt to do this for the first time, might be a struggle but doable. Thanks for the informative video
There are a lot of screws, but luckily there are only a couple types that are visually very different. Once you figure out the strategy that they use, it's not so hard to keep track of the screws.
Hey great video! I think I mixed the phase wires up because when I turned it on it started vibrating very erratically and I think it said, “please repair”. I tried switching the phase wires but now the thing won’t even turn on. I have the blue and green wire on the left side and the hull sensor on the right side. I bought my wheel brand new this year so I think there are very slight differences within the top part of the wiring. Any suggestions?
