For those wondering I found a 1/8th Allen Key works best for those small screws and 3/16th Allen wrench for the larger screws (those being the S.A.E. Sizes) Edit: For the Metric sizes I found using a 3 & 5 work as well, probably a little better than the SAE sizes Hope this helps!

@tj8832 Год назад

Bless you. I think my tire tube just came off the base so trying to put it back. Dont think its flat cuz a puncture but itotally regret not becoming an auto type mechanic lol

@onesinglecircle Год назад

Thanks for the post. Very helpful! I've had mine for 3 months and just got my first flat. I never pumped or checked it once (my bad). This tutorial showed me the way forward. I'll tackle the rest ;}

@HorizonMicromobility Год назад

You really need to sit on the naughty step for not pumping up those tyres! 😀It's the number one cause of flats. Good luck in changing the tube.

@onesinglecircle Год назад

@@HorizonMicromobility It went well. I popped off the wheel watching your video and tried out slime for the first time. I put it back together again and this morning it was flat so I'll be changing the tube tomorrow. But now, I know what I'm doing. Thanks.

Thanks for the video, had my first flat yesterday. Do you need to undo the screws on the right side of the scooter as well? The cover doesn't come seem to come off on that side, so I'm thinking not..

Yes it should be the same both sides. The cover is just stuck down so prise off with a knife. Sorry you got a flat though 😡

What size Allen keys ?

@lilymariespam 2 года назад

what is that first cranking tool you use before the hex keys,, plz help

@HorizonMicromobility 2 года назад

That’s just a ratchet socket. You don’t need this tool as you can just use a hex/Allen key. The ratchet socket is just quicker.

@inderjeetsingh9609 Год назад

What is the hex key number, you used to remove the cover plate. I have a hex key set and the number 7/64 and 1/8 doesn't work. Can you please tell me. I am struggling here.

@HorizonMicromobility Год назад

It will be metric, try a 4mm. It’s likely to be tight.

@natethetoe386 Год назад

The 4 little bolts next to the big axle bold I could not get loose. Not sure what size they are.

@HorizonMicromobility Год назад

They can seize so you will need to use pliers or a screw extractor or if that doesn’t work you will have to drill them out. Good luck 👍

@uchiknow Год назад

Hi! When I put the new wheel on, it wouldn’t budge. Didn’t turn at all. I then proceeded to loosen the center screw by the wheel on one side and the wheel now rotates! So is the center screw supposed to be slightly loose? And on both sides? Or should the screws be really tight and there’s another issue causing the wheel to be stuck ? Thanks !

@HorizonMicromobility Год назад

The axle should turn within the wheel when turning by hand. Check this before you put back in scooter. If it does and it doesn't when fitted then it's probs been overtightened.

@DeltaVTango Год назад

@darianmaurer6519 3 года назад

Thanks for this video! I just got mine and the front tire is already flat. I’m thinking about changing the tires to 8.5” solid tires. Turboant has been awful with getting any help. They won’t reply to my emails. How do I remove the front wheel?

@HorizonMicromobility 3 года назад

We wouldn't recommend changing to solid tires, especially 8.5" as the quality of the ride will suffer. Mend the puncture, install slime and keep a regular check on tire pressure. Most scooter sellers simply shift the scooters out when sold, these scooters would have had their tires pumped up over 6 months ago so by the time the customer receives them the tire pressure is far too low, normally below 20psi. Removing the front wheel is simple enough. Remove the reflector strip to expose the cover screws and unscrew the cover. Then continue to remove the fender and then the wheel, you won't need to remove the motor wires.

@darianmaurer6519 3 года назад

@@HorizonMicromobility I just put 8.5" solid tires on myself and it was such a pain taking the whole thing apart. I don't know if I could do that every time I get a flat. I'm ok with a little rougher ride. I mostly ride around streets and paved bike paths. What does the slime do to help?

@HorizonMicromobility 3 года назад

@@darianmaurer6519 You shouldn't get a flat with solid tires. If a foreign object goes through the tire the slime helps seal the hole preventing a puncture.

@amcdeadface Год назад

How about I ordered a rear tire, and it doesn’t have that silver panel for the breaks.

@HorizonMicromobility Год назад

A new tire won’t have the disc rotor. If the old one isn’t bent then just transfer it over. 👍

The smaller screws, the ones that use a 1/8th size allen key, are a total nightmare for me, tried 2 different allen keys from 2 different sets and brands an none fit the screws correctly. It's been impossible to take the tire out for me and I need to change the inner tube :/

@HorizonMicromobility 8 месяцев назад

They will be metric not imperial sizes. They may have seized so will need to be drilled out. You may be able to cut a grove in the head and use a screwdriver

Thanks ! I actually got them out with a wrench and some twisting ! However, I followed the rest of the steps and put the new wheel on, but the wheel doesn’t seem to turn when I manually roll the scooter. Like it’s stuck. Is it possible I screwed something too tight ? Not sure why the wheel doesn’t move. … any advice ?

@uchiknow Год назад

I loosened the center screw by the wheel on one side and the wheel now rotates! Phew! So it should be slightly loose? And on both sides? I don’t remember it being loose when i removed the wheel. Thanks for feedback .

So, since this dude doesn't want to reveal what the Allen wrench sizes you need, through trial and error and limited tools, I found that the size for removing the two screws for the brakes is 3/16. If we all work together here, I'm sure we can figure out the other sizes.

The sizes are 5mm and 3mm. 3/16 may fit but isn’t the correct tool as it’s not a metric measurement
