- Replacing the front tire on the Levy Electric Scooters
Changing the front tire to a solid rubber tire is a great option if you have had issues with flat tires. The front wheel of a Levy Scooter is the front motor so it is important to be cautious when changing out the tire. The wheel can be removed from the front fork, but the wire connecting the motor should stay connected.
What you'll need:
Tire Pry
Solid Tire: Purchase here
Needle Nose pliers
Pot of Hot Water
Bench Vise
Written Instructions:
Your first step is to start warming up your tire. Place it in a pot of hot water and let it warm up for around 10 minutes. This will allow us to stretch it over the rim of the wheel more easily.
While your tire is warming, you'll need to take off your front wheel. Remove the two side fenders. Loosen the bolts on both sides of the wheel until it is able to pop out from the scooter. The wire running down and attaching into the motor may need to be loosened so that it can be slipped out of the scooter. When the scooter is folded down, you will see a wire coming out of the stem. Pull it slightly out of the stem and feed it down towards the motor so that you have some slack and can pull the motor out.
When taking off the previous tire, we recommend having a bench vise. When placing the wheel in the vise, make sure the vise is clamping the two flat sides of the bolt so it's threads are not ruined. Place the wheel in the vice and remove the previous tire using the tire prys. If you need an idea of how to do this, check out the video below.
This step usually needs two people. Have one person take your warmed up solid tire and hold one side down over the rim. Have the other persons take the prys, push them under the tire on the other side from where your partner is holding down, and push the end of the prys forwards so that the tire goes up and over the rim.
Once you manage to get the tire onto the rim, you will need to get some vice grip pliers and fit the tires so that they are sealed with the rim.
And now you are done! You just need to re-attach the motor to the scooter, re-attach the fenders, and you are all set! When re-attaching the motor to the scooter, remember to pull the wire up to take out its slack that you created back in step 2. Feed that slack back up into the stem.

Can u use a vice you screw on the table by hand? Or does it have to be the big one
will those work with the turboant x7 pro
Will a heat gun work instead of boiling? What alternative can i use for tire spoons?
Phew. I thought I had to buy a whole new motor just to replace a tire. The problem is Hobou doesn’t sell honeycomb tires. Advice on where to purchase HiboyS2 solid tires? Good vid

Do you sell the solid tires?
How long do you heat the tire for?
Around 10 - 15 minutes.
I boiled it for 5 minutes and it worked.
It skipped the part to remove the wire from the wheel,thats the part im stuck on
how do you know what solid tire fits your rim?
Hello,the dimensions are the same. If you have: 8.5" x 2 1/2 in classic tire, you buy solid tires (honeycomb) using the same references.
@@rarbiyoutube Thanks :)
I have same scooter what solid tyre size ?
Same
Please where did the tyre come from i need a link.
Hi, we have placed a link in the description.
Adjustable wrench? Hitting that drill on high and wobbling the drill all over?
This is what NOT to do when doing this! 😢
How do u disconnect the wires from the wheel ? U skipped that part.
i can put on solid tyre turboant x7 pro
👍
what size solid tire for the turboant x7 pro? any recommendation? I'm tired of tube replacement.
@@RunNGunTarot same!,10" ,on Amazon, etc..(i think that😉)..
*But on this vidéo i see "8,5 x2"...
@@rarbiyoutube yea but there are a couple of options, never sure which one to get. last one i got was too small, but that is before i was aware of the boiling in hot water method
i saw a transgender dude do this by himself yall need two people😮
but be careful, on the tire of this video it is written 8.5x2... is it a Turboant X7.. there is also the Turboant X7 Pro it seems to me.. it is the latter which must be in 10".. Normally you have to buy the solid tire (honeycomb) with the same reference as the original tire.. it is written on the tire whether it is 8.5x2 or 10x2 1/2..etc.. And on the video we can clearly see that it is a model with "double honeycombs"!!!
