- Instructional video for changing a tubeless tire on an electric scooter. The video was made demonstrating the Levy electric scooter, with 8.5" tubeless wheels.

Finally some tutorial covering the actual tubeless tire topic, and not just those horrible filled tires without any air in them.
1:27 Make sure you simmer the tire until even on both sides. Then add oregano, parsley, a little black pepper and serve. Bon appetite!
Yeaaah 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic video. Thanks.
I have a Qiewa Q power 2... Yesterday, I swapped the off road tires out on it for street tires.. I was wanting to get the task done or at least started before my tire spoons arrived from Amazon.. I got to thinking.. An idea popped in my head.. If we can zip tie it to put the tires on the rim.. Why can't we do it to take it off the rim without spoons? 🤔. To my surprise, my idea worked.. I had both tires swapped out before the spoons arrived.. While the wheels were on the scooter, I used big channel lock pliers to squeeze the tire, slipped a zip tie under and to the other side and pulled it through and zip tied it while squeezing the tire with the pliers then I did that 4x more times.. Then took the wheel off the scooter, and was able to pull the tire off the rim without any spoons. 😁🔋🛴 I thought I'd share my experience
Channel locks........never thought of that. Not a bad idea.
Amazing video
Should make a video on how to replace the front tire. That one has a motor attached so id be curious on how that's done.
Thank you. I was about to give it up and get it put on. But this should work.
Same here.
Did you guys get it? I'm working on replacing my front tire.
Nice video.
Trying to replace the tire on a tubeless KAABO MANTIS rim. What a PITA! Foot as leverage doesn't work on mine, the tire will slip out to the sides.
I think I'm going to need 2 people as you suggested.
You don't mention aligning the rotation of the tire/treads with the rim rotation direction and it looks like the tire has rotational indicator (little right-pointing chevrons on tire?, 2:44) as does the disk brake (arrows printed on metal visible at 2:31). At 3:16 you can see both indicators, pointing in opposite directions. I'm not sure, but doesn't this mean it's on backwards? (I don't know...just asking. I know bicycle tires need to be mounted corresponding to direction of rotation)
What are you looking at? I'm having difficulty seeing
@@emprrah
Thinking it's a wind up 😂
You're totally right, the tyre is backwards in relation to the disc brake!
I just bought a xiaomi 1s. The tires that came with this scooter are better than the previous ones, as the company claims, more durable. Could I use these for tubeless setup with the help of sealant, or should I need a special type of tires, made only for tubeless use?
How is the front wheel valve mounted? Is there anything special?
Man great video but I like for somebody to put the tire on for me where can I get that done
Could you tell me how to fill up with air I got the tire back on but it won't fill up with air
The Xiaomi scooter 4 has tubeless tires, this is a good video!
My front tyre needs inflating every ~3 days, how can you stop slow leaking on a tubeless tyre?
I’d say a vice would be good I have a woodworking one so it’s more gentle on tire?
Do we need use the same size of type from tube tyre to tubeless tyre
Hi, at 3:28 you reference a video about using tire sealant. Which video is that?
I am not sure why I did not see that one. I assume you meant "Levy Electric scooter tubeless tire repair"
What compressor is that your using
Where is the video with the sealant application?
Can o put normal tires on dis?not tubless
This didn't work for me. I can't get thhe tired filled. DO NOT use green slime, it shoots everywhere. it got EVERYWHERE when tried to fill. im on attempt #45 or something i lost count. these tubless tires for scooters should be illegal.
i'm running OKO xtreme dirt bike tire sealant (€17 for 800ml, pretty cheap), fixed up the 6mm wide slit a large shard of sharp glass caused for now while i wait for replacement tires
tbh tubeless is better, you'll get flats either way, and you don't necessarily need to fill the entire thing with tons of sealant, i had no sealant in mine for 8 months till the glass stuck through the tire at a pretty bad angle (straight on)
Cool video, I spent a lot of time searching for this! I have the m365 Pro 2. Can I use the same original tire or I have to buy another? This tire is strongest than the previous models.
I have tried everything, inflating without a valve with an electric pump did not work, with a compressor without a valve. get the tire on the rim but it wont pop into place no matter what i try.
Where can I purchase some of the smaller tire spoons ?
look in the cutlery draw, flat end of a fork will be just as effective.
but are they better that tube tyres?
Yes, you can run your tires to lower pressure, also you can have less punctures and I feel a little smoother ride with tubeless. I'm currently running with tubeless on my M365 with the stock tires.
@@Christian-tc4sb What's your experience till now? What pressure do you run? I want to convert to tubeless to. I have upgraded CST tires, hope it will work...
@@KESSZ fine by now, I haven't had any punctures since I changed both tires to tubeless (Considering that most of the roads in Mexico are in bad shape). Also if you add some slime it's going to help sealing a hole in case you get a puncture.
About the pressure; the front tire I have it about 40 PSI and the rear one I have it over 35 PSI, just keep an eye to the pressure not going below 30 PSI otherwise the tire bead may pop off the wheel.
Also be patient while mounting the new tires, because when the tire is brand new it may be a little difficult to seat a tire bead into the wheel and do not forget to buy a pair of tubeless valve stems.
@@Christian-tc4sb Cómo convierto mi llanta en tubeless? Necesito algo especial? Tengo un patín Honey Whale C1 y trae llantas de 10" con cámara, pero se poncha mucho la trasera y es un rollo. Quiero ponerle la trasera tubeless, pero no tengo ni idea de qué se debe hacer o qué onda
i don’t have high pressure compressor. All i have is portable electric pump. hope it pumps 🤞
Hey, Did it work with you?
@@mohamedsoliman4714 no. the tyre they sent isnt a tubeless tyre!
Found them
Cool
Iv been trying for 9 days to get a single back tire onto the back rim.
I still havent... and i just want to sell my scooter at this point.
Rediculous
Nothing easy about it
I just throw my tire out in the sun for a little while then it's more malleable...
Doesn’t work
you forgot to put rubber chamber :))
Read the title. The tire is tubeless.
Wait I thought this was a tubeless edition 🤦♂️🤡
yup it was, no inner tubes in this video :)
Duh? There’s not tube. Thats just a tire.
