- Today we change the tire of my Ninebot Max. Step by step guide on how to do it yourself.
It's been a long time coming. But here it is!
Warning: This can be difficult with just 1 person, having a second pair of hands or a tire changing machine is ideal.

Is there any repair shops for scooter like this?
I’m sure your local bike shop could help?
Hi!!! I recently watched your video but decided to bring my scooter to a shop to have someone change my tire professionally. For some reason after they changed the tire in the front my cruise control doesn’t cut off by tapping the brake or by tapping the throttle
Any idea why this is happening?
@@monawu2851 try using the app, it may have shut down after you change the tire(there's like button called cruise mode)
"some simple tools", brings out a whole garage kit
Haha. Don’t worry you can pick them up fairly cheap
LOL that was my first impression too
Haha yes ! But well… having a car, scooter or a bike it’s never wrong to have some proper equipment, makes life much easier !
Also, just pulls off the brake cylinder. On newer models this is heavily glued on and it’s barely impossible to remove it without heavy duty tools.
@@ScootLetsGo How much for all those tools?
Half of the video I was like "if that tool slips now it's gonna hurt like hell":) Good job building tension and replacing the tire!
Thanks dude
One key point to keep in mind when working with any tubeless tire is that the opposite side of the tire bead needs to be kept in the drop center, or the well in the middle of the wheel. That's what allows enough slack to pull the bead over the edge of the rim. The other necessity is application of tire lube, which allows the rubber to slide more easily over the edge as you work.
Thanks for the tips dude.
I did use soapy water in this. Maybe when I do that back wheel I will revisit some tips people have given. :)
I'm guessing that this tip is actually a critically important bit of advice.
It seems that it will help me to get the tire off using a lot less force on the levers.
That will be useful for avoiding deformation of the rim.
Thanks, dude, you're a champ.
Perfect procedure how to change the tires of Ninebot..I bought my Ninebot Max last week so i keep on watching on your very helpful videos.Thank you Dude
Thank you for your support :).
This was a tough procedure haha. Back one to do at some point.
Yeah. You're only breathing about half as hard as I was before I gave up and came looking for this. Back at it.
Haha yeah. It’s a tough one
Man you make that look so easy i had a hard time removing my rear tire
Thanks.
Although looks easy. I had a tough time of it too.
How did you remove the motor cord in the axil? Or did you just work around it?
Thank you! I got so confused at the part of removing the tire from the wheel - I've gotta replace both tires today :D
Thank you so much for creating this useful tutorial. I've just purchased the ninebot Max G30LE, and I wanted to know how to change tires in the future. Thank you!
For all those who struggled with the final step, where you need the tire to set itself with a "large amount of air" - there's a much easier way.
All you need to do is take some decent string and wrap it around the tire, along the thread. Next, make a simple knot, put a screwdriver right on top, and make another knot to secure the screwdriver. Next, rotate the screwdriver, which will tighten the rope. The rope needs to be right in the middle of thread. This will either set the tire on its own, or start putting air into it as normal, and it will set.
This video helped me get the punctured tire off, and with some help from a couple friends I was able to get the new tire around the rim but about 1/4-1/3 of the bead didn’t set, it’s still down in the trough of the rim. I’ve got some actual tire levers like you’re using coming in the mail, would I be able to get those down in the and let the bead out? Would that damage the tire?
thanks for doing the hard yards for us most helpful ❤️
Thanks mate this guide helped a lot .
You’re welcome ☺️
Great how to video.Thanks
You're welcome!
true
Great info.. one of the most exhausting and stressful videos to watch though haha. Was rooting for ya
Haha thank you. Yeah these tires are built to be similar to motorbike tires. And without proper machinery it’s rather difficult.
@@ScootLetsGo Any reason why you didn’t try to cut the first tire off since it’s most likely going in the garbage?
The tires are still good. :).
So I’ll keep them for when I switch back.
Thanks for doing this
Any time!
After mounting the tire, it wouldn't inflate. I even tried using a starting fluid and fire to seat the bead and it still didn't work? Do you have any ideas I could try?
Боже Боже ,за една гума цял арсенал инструменти! Толкова много труд, за нищо работа!
The final pop of a tyre into the rim is one of the most satisfying thing ever. Replacing a tyre on your own is such a nightmare. You could have stepped on the tyre and used your weight to push the edges down. But great video man.
I heard you say for God’s sake 🤣
Would it be alright to dip the rubber in boiling water to remove and apply the new tyre?
good video, I was waiting for the jar to fall over but it didn't happen.
Where did you buy the longest tool for the tire
I just spend 4 hrs and failed at the point of getting the new tire on. I don't get to stabilize it, cause then the rim just pops diagonally out the other way, right when I thought I was getting it right. How do you get to stabilize the rim when squeezing the tire on? Tried to use a strap chord to anker it down (tire to rim), but that just leaves it on a very difficilt place to pop the rubber tire over and now I just got a broke tire and lots of scratched on the rim :( ..help?
Do your clamps really narrow just the tire or to they also keep tire to rim in place?
Ok so I got a whole thing set up with straps and stuff, because I couldn’t get the force to pop the tire over and keep the rim still at the same tile. Too bad I damaged the tire in all thus, cause now that I finally got it on, it doesn’t inflate :( it was really really sturdy, not sure how anyone ever manages to get a new tire on with just the tools of this video :/
after all the heaving and huffing half way through the video i needed a Red Bull and a valium to calm myself down all this i learned when i got my first bicycle this should have been very easy but as you see poor guy was insecure but learning as he went along good job xaxa
Is the trouble worth it?
I need as much cushion as I can have for my bad back.
I fear ending up in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire.
How much more suspension/absorbtion can I expect from this one compared to ES2?
What tires are you currently running? If they are solid tires you will benefit from having air filled. However if you’re worried about punctures, then stick with solid.
@@ScootLetsGo I had the cheapest electric scooter I could find with tiny solid wheels and it made my herniated discs scream. I want as much cushion as I can get.
@@rbmanb you need a scooter with dual suspension then.
@@alexlittig7927 Got my Zero 10x, thanks.
Help me please... I got the tire on but it's sitting crooked (sidewall is tall on one side and short (rolled in) on the other side) causing the bead to not seat
PLEASE HELP
Are the tyre types interchangeable? Can I swap solid for air filled tyres?
Absolutely there are a couple of solid and air tires you can buy. Air filled for more suspension feeling and solid if you want to make sure they don’t pop haha
@@ScootLetsGo That's great news thanks. I've just ordered the ninebot max G30 from ebay. I got it new for a great price (£450)and have only just noticed it has solid tyres (not my preference) Nice to know, if it turns out to be a bit too much of a boneshaker I can swap them out.
That’s awesome :)
@@zibbezabba2491 G30 doesn't have solid tires from the factory. They are tubeless however, but still air filled and have more suspension than solid tires.
When you first buy the scooter is the tired already pumped?
They do have air. But you wanna make sure to check
very nice video
Thank you 🙏
Off topic but does anyone know how to remove the yellow stripes from the rims ? I have tried a heat gun and also acetone but they seem to be painted / stuck on pretty good ? id like to jiust have the matt black rims with no colour ...
just use a razor blade and stick it behind there and peel it back.
16:14 were you able to use that foot pump to seat the beads or did you have someone with a compressor do it? It does usually require a burst of air to seat, which is going to be difficult with just a manual pump.
With some car tires and wheelbarrow tires, even an air compressor inflator doesn't work, and then it needs a special air tank with a large diameter valve to dump all the air in one shot directly into the tire.
Hey, so I had to use my cars air compressor to seat the tire properly. Using the manual pump was just terrible for this application.
Just checking.. does the front tyre fit the rear and vice versa?
They do. Both tires are the same :)
Bonjour ce obligatoire d ouvrir le moteur et déconnecter les câbles pour changer le pneu ariere ?
I would say yes. As you may end up pulling on the wire too much which can brake it. Then you will need a new motor.
Where you buy the longest tool tires
I noticed you didn’t mention the spacer on the front wheel inside the fork? Does yours not have one?
Hi. I have previously taken the wheel off showing the full process. This was purely for the tire. Check out some of my other videos :)
Will your tool hurt the hub? It is a tubeless tire so gas tightness should be perfect.
You have to be careful not to ruin the rim. Just add some protection if you feel the need
I always find the smaller the tyre, the harder it is to change. Its just as bad on a wheelbarrow. Great vid!
What size is the tire, 9x2 ?? Can't find it
Honestly looking at this is enough to make me want to stick with my ES2
It might be a bit late but what kind of tools do you use? If you respond please list the item names.
Can anyone give me some tips about rim doesn't fit on the bead, i can fit it at all.. and because can't find nearly nowhere vids or info how to fix it...?
Best thing to do is go to your local tire mechanic and have them seat the bead. That’s the hardest part of the change. Unless you have high flow compressor
My tyre lasted 2 weeks, did I get unlucky? Or are thorns enough to cause punctures
Sounds like you got a little unlucky. I’ve ridden over glass and everything and not had any issues
I'm stuck in getting the tire to seat properly in the inner rimp lips. I already tried the compressor trick and not working
I SWEAR I thought he was joking when it changed scene to all the tools on the table ....lol bruh
Lucky they are fairly cheap tools. Look out for my new video coming up. Less tools required lol
Ok I used that air removal device but it’s not taking the air out of my tire any reason why
Have you tried pushing the valve in?
Hi my name is Jeffery can I please ask wot the reason you changed the tiyer because they are spost to have self selling tiyers
I was asked by my sponsor at the time to show how it was done. So it was all good. However, even though they are self healing, this doesn't mean that they dont need to be changed from time to time.
Self healing tires only work with small punctures etc.
@@ScootLetsGo ok thank you for replying I wos let down big by Segway
Do you have a video for the rear tire?
On the tyre itself is mentioned 55 psi max pressure. Which pressure do you use? And if the tyre isn't fit well onto rim, how much pressure we can use to get tyre fit well? What do you think?
When you are putting the tire on, to seat the bead, you can put a little more pressure. Maybe up to 80-100psi to get it to pop. However, you would be better off taking it to mechanic that can get the bead seated, if you don't feel comfortable doing that.
Riding PSI, I set to around 40.
Hi I need to change my 8inch tire but can’t find one is a 8x2 inch the same ?
Which scooter do you have?
@@ScootLetsGo zinc eco plus
“How many ads would you like to add ?”
Yes.
Hey. Unfortunately I don’t have control over the ads. CZcams has done that for us. :(
What was the name of these type of clamps?
What's the name of the screw under the wheel bolt? And what tool do I need to dissemble it? Can you link to the tool you are using?
Do you mean the screw holding on the brake?
@@ScootLetsGo Yes. Attached to the drum.
This is just a 10mm socket :). The square bit behind is just the mechanism for the brake drum. You do not need to remove this
How do you let the air out without an air valve
Just bought max today and had to watch this if something happens in the future thanks!
Hopefully you won’t have to change for a while :)
Just a heads up: The stem will loosen within a couple months.
Take down the stem.
To tighten your stem there is a 1 inch long hex bolt within the takedown latch that you will need to tighten by 1-2 turns that’s all😁
This would be part of any maintenance on a scooter. Make sure to check the bolts regularly. And locktite everything
After ~ 2 month UPPDATE: I have since I bought the scooter only maintained the screws that I screwed when assembled the scooter, but will consider take down the steam. Still no issues since I bought it!❤
That’s great. Just remember to regularly inspect and keeps those tires inflated once a week
Hi, i watch you from Italy.
Is this the original tire or the best replace for that?
Thanks and good job!
Welcome. Greetings from 🇬🇧:)
This is an original tire and works perfectly.
Link in description for it :).
My front wheel fender is making some strange vibration noises. How may I fix those with the least effort?
It may just need tightening down. So you can just take the wheel off and tighter the bolt under the fender.
@@ScootLetsGo Thanks. I wanted to avoid that. But it seems to be ... the way. Best regards and many thanks.
Funny watching him do a three handed job, with only two hands. Me, I built a table top jig, that holds it securely.
A true barbarian. It's bad to watch him do it :D ...The tire can be changed without a scratch.
I’m sure other people are more careful than me.
Awesome video. I’m preparing to change my back tire this weekend. Is it safe to assume the steps are pretty similar?
I believe the process is the same, you just need to be extra careful as it's the motor. Be sure to take it fully off before doing anything.
If you have someone to help you too, that would be a bonus.
just keeping staring at that jar of water waiting for it to be knocked off the table onto the carpet lol
The carpet was fine 😂
Well done indeed and thanks for the video. How many miles/kilos can I expect to get out of the tires? I'm about 145 pounds soak and wet. Thank you.
My Tires have about 3000 Kilometers and they begin to need more Air every week. I think they will be done soon. I hope that helps you.
@@tarelsun4025 Consider re-sliming your tires. That should do it, unless your tyre has a big hole in them.
a tip you can heat the tire in the oven before puting it on to sofen the rubber joust rember not to make it too hot (cant rember what i set mine to 50c i think was the lowest my oven had), on a nother note it is also recamented to replse the valve wen you do the tire as the remuval of he tire may damage it :-)
That is a pretty cool tip. Thank you 😊
@@ScootLetsGo holy crab tha was a fast replye lol
@@krismDK I’m always awake and always aware people that comment. Unless it’s 3am GMT haha
Even easier boil a pot of water add the tyre with boiled water let it sit for 90 seconds, makes life easier!
Hey good job I'm getting rubber tires but good for you
I was thinking to go for the full rubber tires. Problem is you loose traction as they don’t deform on the road like a regular tire.
Thanks mate! Just wonder how long have you used your Max before you need to change the tire? Was it because it broke or it’s a nice-to-have change? I just got a new one and wonder if I need to buy a spare tire already just in case, since I hade some bad experience with some other pneumatic tires on an another scooter
I was sponsored at the time to show how to change the tire. My other tire was fine so kept for backup. However, I would buy another just to make sure you have a spare :)
how can you increase speed of your g30 max, is that possible
You can by changing the motor to a gen2 and also changing the battery to 48v output with custom firmware.
@@ScootLetsGo ...30 kmh is oke :)
How can you remove the tire because my tire is glued on the the wheel
Try using isopropyl alcahol :)
How much miles did you have total when changed the tire??
My tire was actually fine. I changed it for the purpose of showing you guys.
I seen you release the air. Does the tires have a tube in them?
These are tubeless tires :)
Thank you. Should I just put more air in it can I fill it with Fix-A-Flat like I seen before?
Guides say around 37 psi. I however put in 45/50 psi.
And you shouldn’t have to add any sealant as the tire has a gel layer already inside. But if you feel like you would like to have added protection. You should do it
Prolly a dumb request but you should put down the tools you used in the description, like your 10mm and the 15mm sockets, great vid tho I just got some new tires I’m excited to put on😁🤧 kinda wore my last set past the wires😅
Thanks
You're welcome.
5 min mark, it was impossible for me to get that part. You made it seem so easy and simple but for the life in me it was impossible to do
Thank you, I can tell you that it wasn't easy, but persistances pays off. Did you manage to get this fixed?
Thanks for posting.
I’d like to put an inner tube in as I continue to lose air
Would it be a 10”tire to fit the 55/70-6.5 tire?
I'm not too sure, but I would be interested to see if a bigger tire would fit these rims. I know that you can get a bigger motor with a bigger wheel
Changing the REAR tire is a nightmare (involving having to take off the entire bottom and disconnect various wires). A real pain
Thank for the excellent guide!
Yeah it is a little bit of a pain. But this is a thing with most scooters.
Hi bro yeah I’m have a issue with pumping the tire up atm any advice
If you are having trouble seating the bead. Then you’ll either need high pressure to do so. Or you can ask your local tire fitter to help. They will have all the tools.
Hello we was actually trying to take off the tire of the back wheel for and hour now
Hello i just watch this video good job on changing the tire. I have a question. Where can i get a pair of tire for my ninebot max on the website they are out of stock if you have a suggestion where to buy please let me know i will really appreciate. Have a good one
(Whispers) find a lift scooter in the street
@K W thanks 👍
Checkout Scootletsgo.com. :)
Thank you proceed to order new tire for my scooter.
Are you supposed to replace the anti puncture liquid in the tyre .
The Ninebot official tyres come with it installed.
A que lado de la rueda delantera va la arandela ?
It goes on the opposite side the the brake drum
how many miles did the tire go?
The tire is actually fine. There’s lots of miles left in there. Kickmotion was kind enough to send me out a new one to demonstrate how to change your Ninebot Max’s tire :)
is there a link for the spare tire?
bit.ly/3mGm5U0 you can view kickmotion parts
It’s the same process for the back tire?
Yeah
Genius
Where can I get the tool you are using? Clamp.
There should be some links in the description
Some time's you need three hand's, a big yes on that soapy water
My used m365 came with two brand new tires and tubes. And I've been riding it almost every day since November and still have not had a flat... guess I just know what I'm doing
I have never had a flat, I was sponsored to change a tire to show people.
Danke schön
You’re welcome
thanks
Your welcome :)
@@ScootLetsGo how many bars in the tire ?
@@juoffline5211 this should be around 2.5 bar :)
@@ScootLetsGo thanks :) (i put 3 for sure :D )
Always better to have a little more. You will need to do this weekly.
Plus I had to by a special plastic tool cause it wasn't recommended to use any metal tool do to damaging
Holy Hell!!!
I rather buy the Nine Bot Max 2. Or at least buy a run with the tire and tube already installed.
There is no tubes in these tires.
Max 2 means gen 2? In what way is it better?
@@rbmanb gen 2 allows you to sustain speed for longer when battery level drops. However the trade off is a little torque
if u keep the clamp on and position the other lip of the tier to the middle of the rim u have more space come right off without tools
Thanks for the tip :)
How to change the tube
in England are you familiar with bike shops who would get involved
with that, here in Florida they will do it but don't like to cause of the electronics.
maybe to add I bumped into a guy
who's changed a few. he said he puts
the old tire and new tire in supper hot water.
to soften them up.
Hey, here is England, I have not tried to take anything to ther bike shop as this can be expensive. So I do everything myself if I can.
But yes I have heard that you can heat the tire up with water to soften it up. My only concern is the jelly layer. This could potentially melt out.
Wait it's the new generation but the same old problems regarding tire replacement?
Your going to have this problem with most tires. Just the nature of tire replacement :(
Where is the video for the rear tire?
Same way to do it
수고하셨어요. 영상 공유 고맙습니다 ^^
No problem, thank you for watching. :)
Ok, so it only took 4 hours but I got the tire on….. but no matter what I try I can’t get it to sit on the bead :-/ I’ve tried clamps, high pressure air compressor, levers, shouting, crying, I’m out of ideas, any tips would be appreciated
When you say you have used high compressed air, have you tried the ones from your local garage that can use a smaller nozzle to get air in there quicker? Also try taking out the core of the valve to allow air to get in easier.
Failing that, try getting a ratchet strap around the tire and tighted it down. You can google that method to see the technique. :)
@@ScootLetsGo thanks for the quick reply, i tried the air compressor at the local garage, but they are restricted to 60psi..... i tried the ratchet and that WAS working in that i could get air into the tyre, i pumped it up with my hand pump (see previous comment about local garage) to 160psi but the tyre still wont snap onto the bead.... then when i took the pump nozzle off my valve exploded, FML!!! luckily i have spare valve but still no close to getting the tyre on the bead. :-/
Why was there no slime, tyre sealant in there? Thanks
There is, its a gel layer they put on the inside. This is actually better than the tire slime so that it doesn't go everywhere. :)
Scoot, Scoot, Let's Go! Ah ok that makes sense. I’ve used the slime product in my push bike and wrongly assumed it was the same stuff. I have a nine bot. Great scooter hey
Nick O I love mine. Great for getting to and from work. Now I use it to commute to friends instead of the car. Taking the scenic route. :)
You do things the hard way ,just use your knees to hold the corner in place and use 3 spoons to snap it on
More puncture-resistant, or not - it seems to be the same bloody hassle to change tyres, when you nevertheless is forced to do it. I say - go for splitt-able tire-rimes instead. The Zero 8/9/10 models have splitt-able tire-rimes. I rather go with tubed tyres in splitt-able rims, then tubeless tyres in non-splitt rims.
I agree, but with thinner wheels its just easier to design a solid wheel. With Zero scooters for example, they have slightly wider wheels
To replace a scooter tire we need a few simple tools.......proceeds to empty the entire toolbox onto the table.
You know what I need to change a bike tire? One tire lever that costs 2$ and....nothing else.
You know when my bike runs out of battery.......never.
What speed can I maintain on flat ground...indefinitely?....30 km/h...with the ability to hit 40 km/h.
What is my speed limited to downhill? No limit.
How much did my bike cost? 0$.
I rescued it from a dumpster. Road bike frame that is 40 years old.
If I need to get something repaired that I can't repair myself where do I go.....no problem. There's a bike shop on every street corner.
What am I trying to tell you? Scooters are a pain in the ass and a waste of money.
