No More Flat Tires For Me! After 5 Flats In One Year, I'm Finally Making All My Ebikes Flat Proof!

- After getting another flat 2 weeks ago, I finally decided to put Flatout tire sealant in all my ebikes.
It's only a matter of time before you'll get a flat. After extensive research, I decided to add Flatout to all my ebikes. Here's the simple step by step process to install flatout to any ebike.

Never had a flat. Bought this before my ebike even got here. Luck maybe or this product is that dang good. I recommend it to everybody. God bless.
Watching this video makes me thankful for my electric tire pump
Added it to my Addmotor fat tire Ebike after 2 flat tires in 6 months. Haven't had another in a year. This stuff is same principle as slime, but seems to really work well. I've tried slime and still got flat tires. It's more expensive then Slime but my personal experience is this stuff works.
Thank you i just got a lectric 2.0 loved it until the back tire went flat I ordered flat out from this link. You had me when you said military uses it Your content is very valuable
I just got a lectric 2.0 and my back tire just got popped the day i got it… But, does this work with lectric 2.0?? And if it does how good does it work for it?
I really like that you explained this as if I was 6 years old because that way you get all the step by step instructions. Thank you 😊
Another advantage of FlatOut is that when your inner tube needs replacement for whatever reason, you can pour out it out of the inner tube to re-use in another tire. It does not go bad.
Saving like $13 every 3 years, respect.
I've heard of this stuff lasting hundreds of miles though...
Explain how you pour a liquid from one tube to another?🤔
@@trini_boi2414Pour it back into the bottle first?
@@trini_boi2414 duh
Thanks for this! Just purchased my ebike and now waiting to add this to my tires!
Thank you for the video. Just purchased enough for both of my bikes. I appreciate you letting us know about this product.
I love your Channel, thank you for showing me this product almost time to start writing here in Chicago oh, so I'm excited I got my electric bike last year. Keep doing what you're doing God bless~
Thank you so much for providing the "shelf life" data! I don't ride my e-bike everyday. Mostly on the weekends or to the store.
That the stuff is the bomb. I having been reviewing and touting this product for months and months. I have received so many questions about this product on Amazon, can’t even count. This stuff is the real deal and can stop a puncture up to a 1/2 in. The green goo and the tire inserts don’t perform as well as Flatout! For less than 20 bucks you can do four bike tires. The other products that are on the market just don’t hold a candle to this. I’ve used it I’ve tested it and I have not had a flat yet in over a year of riding my E bike over all kinds of terrain. Good job Chris. I think every bicyclist, motorcyclist, people who have small tractors or even RV trailers, should put this product in their tires. Can’t say enough about it! I have been other videos on it but I’m glad you did yours! You’re an honest guy and a lot of people respect your opinion. I know I do! Thanks again.
Thank you for the kick stand tip! I hadn't thought of that & you're the first I've seen mention it! 👍🤗🚲
Happy to help!
Great video. Thank you fir how to video. I had 2 back tire flat on my ebike, this year. After saw this, I will definitely add it in my ebike tire.
I added this stuff to my tires a year ago and it works awesome.
I never thought about doing this. I've always carried an aerosol can of tire sealant.
I've had to use it twice over the years. It works. I'll have to try this.
I had several flats on my e bike (vego 750) mostly goat heads riding out West. I used this for about 2 years now, NO FLATS and no getting stranded in the desert. Plus helps maintain air pressure. Win win. Best stuff out there !!!!!
Most excellent! I’ve been using “slime” on my yard equipment, but I’ll try this on our UBCO and Grizzly. I appreciate your work!
Saw Flatout on Area 13 evaluation last year and use it on all my ebikes. No flats yet. However bought one Hyper Eride cruiser from Walmart and tire went flat. So I fixed flat with Flatout and no leaks yet.
Thanks for the video. Have you seen Tannus Tire Armor? EDIT: I was going that route after we had a flat on a Harley. 4 bottles of slime didn't work. Then, we got it to hold air with FlatOut aerosol cans. His bike slung goo for 50 miles going home...! These knobby stock tires are thin and easily punctured. There is a flat protector tire liner like thick tape that looks promising. Uses stock inner tubes and then add flatout to that combination for optimum flat protection vs the weight of the Tannus liners...
I have a bunch of Tannus liners that I never installed after I put it in 2 bikes (this was before I started using flat-out).
I love the soft ride it gave me, but the liners are such a pain to install and they begin to flatten over time and lose their effectiveness to prevent flats. I’ve only had 2 flats since using flat-out due to the sidewalls getting gashes too big for flat out to stop and reach. Tannus would not have done any better. Since flatout has been super effective and the easiest to install, it’s all I ever use now.
Thanks @@EbikeProducts, I decided the Tannus liners are too bulky and heavy for my folding bikes that I have to pick up and load in a Scion hatchback car... Note the edit to my original comment. And, thanks again for your great video!
Excellent idea! Thanks for the tip👍
If while squeezing flat out into the inner tube, and flow stops, you have an air-lock. Disconnect the tube from the air fill valve, hold the hose above the bottle of flat-out, and let the fluid flow back into the bottle. Then, raise the bottle upside down above the hose and squeeze bottle so it just starts to flow out of the end of the hose, and immediately attach the hose to the inner tube inlet and start squeezing the fluid into the tire. This works!
Thanks for the tip! I've never heard of an air-lock before and your tip may save me a ton of time in the future if I ever come across one now that I know. I really appreciate to sharing the info!
This is golden! I was struggling with the first tire, almost 3 hours of fighting then I found your comment and finished the front and the back withing 5 minutes. I was getting ready to give up
When I first got my Sondors e-bike it was running well with no flats at all. Riding in NYC you run into a lot of construction sites and one day I picked up a small tack nail. I was hoping to make it to work before the wheel went flat but nope. Lucky my bike folds and I was able to put it in a cab and get home. I ordered Armor dilloz red for my rear tire and that worked extremely well. But the price was hefty for a 20 oz bottle. When I got my second flat I started to look up something else that didn't cost as much and worked as well or better. That when I saw a video from a guy testing the different brands and Flat-Out beat all of them even when the guy drilled a quarter size hole in the tire, it still sealed it shut. So I order a bottle from Amazon and the price was half the price less then the Armor Dilloz, and you got away more for the price in the bigger bottle. Haven't had any flats ever since and I even had my tires upgraded and there was no leaks in the tires. Works great and when ever I talk to anyone about flats, I tell them to order Flat-Out and you'll never get flats again.
Many of us who ride Cyrusher e-bikes use both Tannus Armor and FlatOut with great success. So if you want to ultimate in protection this is the way to go. Forget Slime that hardens over time or the other tire Tuffy liners vs Tannus. Note I actually, have all 3 but I would skip the liners next time around. Good riding! Lots of good videos on youtube.
Thanks for the video, I recommend to use the tire valve stem caps that have a valve removal tool build in , I like the metal ones.
That's the best flatouts the best I seen the experiments with it!
Great Video thank you a million times for sharing.
I have a fat bike and this year has been good only 2 punctures. I would say in total I get 1/3 glass shards. 1/3 thorns and one third metal fence pins.a 6" Nail and one tree branch fall which holed my tyre with bit of branch as big as my little finger. Luckily for me I had been carrying a spare inner tube.
This video came at just the right time
Filled my tires up today. Thanks.
Great! It gives such peace of mind.
When I got my eBike the first thing I did prior to riding it the first time was to apply 8 oz of Flat-Out to each tire. It has served me well as I have pulled a couple of goatheads (thorns) from the tire. Recommend Flat-Out to everyone. Thank you for posting this how-to as I’m sure many new eBike riders will appreciate knowing how to do it. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your experience and taking the time to comment. Glad to hear it’s worked well for you!
Very good video. Thanks for taking the time.
Glad it was helpful!
Run What Ya Brung! Thanks for this ! Liked and subscribed! Fantastic! Shared and Used and Saved!
Yes, I took your advice on flat out six months ago on my new magic cycle cruiser. Absolutely no flats or loss of air. And I ride a lot of gravel and trails
Can’t wait for the weather to dry up and get warmer. I found a gravel trail near my house that I plan to take bikes like the magicycle cruiser on.
Glad to hear the flat out is keeping you rolling!
Bro can i do to my flat bike tires with this product
@@bbessi3454 yes. Just know it depends on where the hole is and how big for it to work. If it is on the side of the tire/tube or from the valve then it’s less likely to work. If the hole is in the center tread area, it can fix it pretty easily as long as it’s not a tear and just a puncture.
Sure be nice should you actually use this in a tire and then puncture it on video with a psi test AND SUBMERSE IT IN WATER 💦 FOR BUBBLING
That’s on my list of things to do!
thanks! any tip on how to calculate the amount of sealent i need to put in a 17 " dunlop mx 2.75 tube?
I bought this flat out because of your video, I received it today and the product has changed from what you have here. My bottle is more of a bag with a 45 degree cap and a separate valve stem remover. And it looks like a decent one too, so no need to buy one anymore.
Made me exhausted just watching you pump air back into your tire, haha. Thanks for the tip on Flat Out. Seems like a great product to use.
I've gone tubeless wherever I could (three bikes with wider than 2.0 inch tubeless ready tires). The rims don't have to say "tubeless ready". My four other skinnier tire bikes all have have tubes that I patch once, and only once, in case of a flat. The interesting part is that sometimes my patch leaks slightly, so, instead of redoing the patch, I inject sealant into the tube, and, voila, the leak is sealed and stays sealed. This technic is something that comes in very handy when touring for weeks on the open road. I only take with me a plastic bottle of sealant and a length of tubing that fits over the valve stem; no need to remove the core.
Thanks for sharing! Just curious, what’s the farthest you’ve traveled during one of your adventures of being weeks on the road? Sounds like a lot of fun and something I need to put on my bucket list.
*technique
I had to replace my rear tire and when I removed the tube I had at least 5 or more holes in my tube..lucky thing I had flat out in my tire it sure saved me many times..
That sounds fantastic and great step by step guide ….cheers mate all the best from Scotland 🏴am going to look into that hope they sell it in Scotland or rest of uk
Looks like we have to pay postage from the US
I found it easy to lay the bike on its side so the tire bead isn't broken. Great product.
Oh man! I just had a Homer Simpson head slap moment! 😂 I should’ve thought about doing that or even flipping the bike over. Thanks for the comment!
I elevate the tire with a rope tied to a roof truss in my garage and attached to either the steering post or the seat post.
Does this stuff freeze? My bike is stored in a garage in winter and it gets down to minus 40C in bad conditions. Alberta Canada . Thank you !
Get tannus armour, much better product and for winter use
Nicee thanks for doing the research and demonstration for us. I have a fat tire e-bike and hit a nail on a board with both tires 🤦♂️ I was stranded for a bit so I’ll definitely be picking this up to have some peace of mind.
I really do love the stuff for peace of mind more than anything. After getting so many flats before I started using flat out and having to push the bikes home in 100 degree weather during the summer, it’s so nice to have worry free rides now.
Very informative thanks.
Tip: You can take the label off to see how much you're putting in easier.
Haha! I’m laughing at myself and slapping my head. It’s one of those simple things I should’ve thought of a long time ago! Thanks for the tip!
@@EbikeProductswhich bike repair stand is that you have there? I'm looking to purchase one. Thanks.
Thank you, great video!!!
Awesome bro, thanks for the info 👍
What a game changer. Was getting flats all the time. Haven’t had a flat on my two e-bikes since. 100 miles +! I’m at a point that I stopped carrying all my tools and extra tubes! I know it’s gutsy, but I hate having to deal with them. Of course if I go on a super long ride I’d be prepared.
Thank you!!!
Same for me too! I carry a lot less tools now that I’ve been using flat out on ALL my ebikes.
Great video! Thanks. No more green slime for me.
That comment about the bike might fall over if held up by an over-long prop stand was well made. That has not happened to me but I can see how it might and I had not thought about that particular potential problem before. Thank you EbikeProducts.
Awesome product,I can remember one time I ran over something and heard a hissing sound.Then it went silent ,as I was locating the sound ,it stopped,and I could see a little dampness from the sealant on the punctured tire area.There was a little air escaped from the inner tube ,but it self sealed and was still rideable back home.Now goes in every tire,quarter bottle each tire for 20x4 /Ariel Grizzly bike with dog cart in tow,each buggy tire( 20 inch) half a quart each.I find it a good idea to carry an air pump in case you need to top up on the way back home.
Thanks for sharing your experience and tips! I really love this stuff to have piece of mind for sure!
Make sure u have something to remove a nail etc from tire & a pump. And have spare patches
First I've heard of this tire sealant. Stan's and slime and several others at trade shows and such. I've switched tires with some with puncture protection and installed HD tubes. Haven't added any sealants yet maybe I'll give it a try
Great idea to use the FlatOut Tire Sealant with one's fat tire; I have one of the Lectric XP Premium that has the built in mid drive mount electric motor for $1,900 right now; now it has 20 inch by 4 inch fat bike tires and in addition to using the FlatOut Tire Sealant which is a great tire sealant idea to utilize; one can also optionally upgrade one's fat tire to a Shinko 244 Series Dual Sport Tires which are specified at 3.00"-16" size to be compatible to fit 20 inch by 4 inch fat bike tires; they are a truly great option since typical 20 inch by 4 inch fat bike tires typically get about like maybe 1,800 miles of tire mileage before fat tire replacement is needed; but with the Shinko 244 one typically get about like maybe 5,400 miles of tire mileage before ultimately needing fat tire replacement; and the tire itself goes for about $53.95 so it is a very affordable and rather long lasting mileage fat tire replacement for the money;
it however is a much heavier duty tire carcass which will require one to use some tire some dish soap and water as a supplemental tire lubricant aid to mount the heavier duty Shinko fat tire; along with using a pair of Harborfreight Pittsburgh Automotive 24 inch general purpose tire iron($6.99 per tire iron), simply use the curved offset hood end to remove tire bead and the curved spoon end to pull the last remaining section of tire bead over the rim; at $6.99 apiece one will need to buy two of them so it will still cost only $14 but it will make installing tires quite literally like child's play and;
then one will be finally able to enjoy puncture and flat free tire performance for about the next 5,400 miles of tire mileage; though one might have a bit slower acceleration and one might have a one or two mph loss of maximum top speed mph but other than that the Shinko 244 3.00" by 16" fat tire combination when filled with the Flat Out tire sealant will be nearly impervious to flats while out on the road for at least 5,400 miles or so tire mileage;
now since the Shinko 244 tire carcass is much heavier it is also capable of potentially actually sealed by using a conventional auto tire plug kit to get oneself back home in just five minutes after one locates the source of one's air leak on the leaking tire; by using one's handy trusty all purpose automotive tire plug kit also as well; without hardly ever needing to remove one Shinko 244 fat tire from one's wheel; I definitely love the idea of a potential five minute conventional tire plug fix especially if its raining or it its cold outside in particular.
I recently got my first ebike. A fat tire version to boot. I was watching videos to learn more about ebikes and maintenance and came across someone testing various flat preventative measures and all videos point to FlatOut being the best option. I was putting off purchasing it till i had all the necessary gear like a new helmet, goggles, phone mount, proper tools, etc etc and flat prevention was an afterthought as i have patches and pumps with me at all times. It is kind of a pain getting a wheel off on electric bikes with hub motors, as i learned from a flat, that i put the FlatOut on top of the priority list. I had my ebike since 7/14 and have already put about 350 miles on it and have had a flat, so FlatOut is now in my tires. I have to install my torque arms now as they came in yesterday.
I should also include that with the FlatOut (8 ounces in each) it seems that there is more bump buffering as well as seemingly reduced road noise with the all terrain tires it came with.
I was told that this cannot be used in a tubed tire. True?
All my ebikes have tubes in them. Me personally, I think they work excellently in tires with tubes and much easier to install.
@@EbikeProducts Thanks! I’m going to ask my mechanic to do this for me. I’m disabled and my bike is essentially my wheelchair. I’m in groups with other disabled people who I’m trying to talk into getting a Rig #notawheelchair but some can pedal with one side, so I recommend trikes to them. They can attach the bad foot to a pedal and use their good side to pedal. That would actually do the work of a physical therapist because their bad side will get plenty of range of motion exercises. I just need to find a one hand steering wheel and that helps everyone. I’m thinking like the steering wheel on a Model A car.
@@EbikeProducts if discussing adaptive biking is something you’d like to tackle on the advice side that’d be great. We make CZcams videos about everything adaptive, including a lot of adaptive sports. Our last video was about how difficult it is to attend an outdoor BBQ. Going from sidewalk to grass is a guaranteed popping a wheelie in a wheelchair and its extremely dangerous. This is why I want off paved surfaces transportation for people in wheelchairs. Thankfully I’m not in a wheelchair so I can help others get around but I can’t be there for everyone and they deserve access to public areas and the only way to ensure that is various forms of electric bikes.
I would go with the tire tape first and then also insert a foam noodle. I have a 20" fat tire ebike and lots of sharp weed heads and cactus around. That much cushion and the tape should do the trick plus this stuff. The orange inserts are like $160 for a pair...that's ridiculous!
Rode my Ecotric for 11,500 miles without a flat. Still have the front original tire on it that is so bald you can almost see through it LOL. My new ebike during my 2000 mile review, I get my first ever flat. A staple. Fix the tube and 50 miles later, another flat. Staple must still be in the tire somewhere. I changed the tire and tube, but this sure looks like it would give me peace of mind. Thanks for the video
Just an FYI, if you put Flat-out into a tire that has a hole from a staple, it will most likely seal and fix it (as long as it is not on the sidewall) and be as good as new for a few more years as long as the tire is not too worn out.
@@EbikeProducts I did just recently put flatout in my tires, I thought it would solve the problem for in the future. Thanks for the confirmation : )
Thanks, I'm gonna try some of this. Question.....what bike repair stand would you recommend for an Aventon Aventure?
I love the Park Tool repair stand that I use, but it was given to me as a gift so I haven’t looked at any others. I recommend Park Tools brand due to the quality, but just make sure you find one rated for more than 90 pounds as the Aventure is a really heavy ebike.
I definitely need something like this! I've gotten like two flats this year and with me not driving, the nearest bike shop that works on ebikes is like 30 miles away so I'm usually down until I get a ride up that way to get ot fixed. I'm not mechanically inclined nor do I want to be or mess with stuff so this video was helpful even for my level of expertise. I just wish it actually worked on already flat tires. My Lectric 2.0 got a flat (again) so I'm currently awaiting the right time to get it fixed.
I’m planning on doing a video soon on how to repair an already flat tire using Flatout. Depending on what caused the flat, you can actually put Flatout in and it can fix it.
Keep in mind, it’s not a guarantee and you could end up wasting 1/2 a bottle if it doesn’t work. My plan is to make 2 holes in a tire simulating a screw puncture, thorn puncture in a tire without Flatout.
Then I’m going to add it in and see if it seals it. Then keep it the way it is and do a follow up a week later while doing daily rides in between.
I’m quite sure it will work. But keep in mind big rips in a tube won’t work.
@@EbikeProducts ok thanks I'll be 👀👀
Thank you very much. I have an EP 2 PRO bike. Does this work?
The fact that the military uses this stuff, that's all the endorsement I need.
Wow just got s flat the other day, wish I had this in my bike
Thanks. I was trying to find the vid on here that I've already watched, but couldn't find it. Think he said to take it for a several mile ride after using, to distribute it evenly. Just used it on my new E-Bike before it touched pavement the first time, then bedded my brakes for 3.5 miles. So that should be enough to get it nice & distributed throughout the tire, huh.
Take the E-bike tires for an eight mile fat e-bike ride out on the road in the field should get it evenly distributed during that ride quite thoroughly and completely.
I just ordered the same thing.
What we need, are tires that are already flat. Tank style tracks!
Thanks . I got three flats in 50 miles. I had that in tube but i dont think i put enough. I put 1/4 bottle in. I ended up putting almost a half. My tires are 20 x 3.o
Yeah, fat tires use 1/2 a bottle each. There’s a lot of surface area inside the tire that it needs to cover.
@@EbikeProducts thanks again and good luck to u
Hi. What is that blue bike stand u r using? I don’t see it in the product list. Thanks!
great video but I have a question, after put the flatout, what is the pressure you put back in the tire? same like you had before or less for the liquid?
thanks and happy holidays
I put air back in the tire the same as before putting the flat out in. I actually never thought about adding a different amount. I honestly don’t know if there should be a difference, but I usually inflate about 3-5 pounds less than max suggested pressure.
Yep tire slime works--Flatout works great, as does Armor Dilloz, but so does ordinary slime. It's saved my tires countless times over the years. Everyone should use it who bikes any distance from home.
1000% agree! I’ve seen all the products you mention work well and think everyone who rides should add some kind of decent sealant to save themselves the frustration of dealing with a flat and losing ride time. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Got a new bike six months ago, I ride 50-60 miles a week only on mountain trails, never had a flat I use tubes.
Hi, thanks for de advice, btw, can you post what bike stand you are using?
I use a Park Tool bike stand. It was a gift from a friend and an older discontinued model that unfortunately is not available anymore. The newer models are similar and if you do a lot of work on your ebike, it's well worth the cost as it saves a ton of time. Here is one that is similar and can hold up to 80lbs. amzn.to/3AjBsu0
Nice 👍
can you still use flat out on your tire when your tire flats cause of a glass or by a long gap/hole & not by a nail?
Two questions, 1) It's been a year, have you had a flat tire yet? 2) Do you recommend getting tire liner and sealant as double protection?
I did have 1 flat from a wire that sliced the sidewall. Flatout repaired it for a few miles and a couple of days when I leaned the bike and allowed it to seal the tear. It was too big of a rip though and it inevitably tore larger when we took the bike off-road and bounced around on it too much.
I have not had any other flats for a few years since using flatout on at least a dozen or more e-bikes. Seriously, the stuff is amazing. I no longer use liners since I started using flatout. I don’t find it necessary. The flat I got from the wire would’ve not been prevented with a liner either and that’s the only problem I’ve ever had.
Where did you purchase your bike stand?
That didn't work on my last flat I guess hole was too big but it works great on smaller holes tho like a small nail,tacks or goat heads..
Yes it works up to three eighth of an inch so long as its not to close to the sidewall; one can also use utilize a dual layer of the Thornbuster tire liner(s) also as well; also if one uses the Shinko 244 Series moto bmx fat tires the tire carcass design is much more substantial and robut; so much that one can actually potentially realize repairing ones Shinko 244 Series moto bmx fat tire with a conventional automotive tire plug using ordinary tire plug tools to seal up even a larger sized leak with two or three tire plugs in the tire carcass along with an additional sixteen ounces of additional Flat Out tire sealant should help to seal the puncture in the air tube leak all without even taking the fat tire off the rim whatsoever right on the rim itself within twenty minutes or so tops max.
Thanks for the video, how does it effect the value stem, as for checking tire pressure after the fact? Will it clug the value stem and or your tire gauge?
Thanks
I haven’t had any issues checking the tire pressure or with my valves getting clogged yet. I usually make sure that the valve is near the top or around the 9 o’clock position of the tire so all the liquid is away from the valve.
I ride in the woods. What tire pressure do you use for rough trail riding. Like the videos thanks.
I’d test out different psi levels to see which you like best. I typically pump up my fat tire ebike 5psi below the max and will leave it at that for wherever I’ll be riding. 95% of the time I am riding on asphalt so I like getting longer range when possible by having highly inflated tires.
Great video , what type & kind of e bike 🏍 do you have & ride ? ? Thx 👍⚾️
I have a few bikes that I use currently. The Lectric XP Lite gets the most riding time today due to how easy it is to get in and out of my garage to run daily errands to the post office just a few blocks away. I like riding the Ride1up Core-5 when going for anything longer than the post office due to the comfort and speed that ebike offers and has a really old school bike feel for me. The WTVA Orion 20"x4" fat tire bike is used a lot by me and my camera guy for filming review videos as it is easy to get on and off and fast enough to get good footage at higher speeds. When out for a long cruise with my friends, I will often take the Magicycle Cruiser due to the upright position, super powerful and fast motor, and ultra soft ride with the big fat 26"x4" fat tires. It try to rotate bikes, but my garage is so small, I ride what's mostly easy to get out when I can unless I have time to plan ahead for stuff like weekend rides. My friends like riding some of my other bikes and each has their favorites like the Mokwheel and Snapcycle each for different reasons.
I put Flatout in a tire that was already flat (piece of small metal shard), put the air back in, and so far the tire is still holding air.
I plan to do a video one day on how to repair a tire using flatout the way you did. It works great as I've done it before too.
Please do my car got a flat 3 days after bringing back from shop
@@MarzMindset just a heads up, I’m not sure Flatout is recommended for car tires. You may want to check with them before adding it to a car tire.
I will be putting this in my Mokwheel 26" x 4" tires tomorrow. The only question I have is: With the Flat out in the tubes, are you able to let the air out to replace the tire or for other maintenance? In other words, will it seal up the valve stem hole?
It could seal up the valve stem, but a stiff paperclip or some similar could be used to clear it.
I think the key would be to make sure to remove the center valve piece while the liquid is away from it, so make sure to have the stem at the top of the tire for a minute or two to let the liquid move away, then take out the valve piece.
Many people are not aware you can patch a tube and clear the tire of debris without removing the wheel.
What is the difference from using Flat Out, compared to Slime? Pro and Cons
What if you have ebike wheels that have the hole cut outs on the time, like the super 73
Will this work on a regular bicycle non-electric
You need a magnet, picking up those road nails! I got a flat from hyperdermic needles, someone had thrown from a car, it was dark, heard the crunch....walked home. Because I was not going to deal with a hazardous material flat!!
will it effect the balance of the tire ??
Where do you get your wheels from as I’m trying to find a rear wheel non electric 26x4 and the axel190mm 6mm
Does anyone know if you can put Flat Out in a tube that already has slime in it?
Hello, how much do you recommend to use for a lectric 2.0 xp 4x20 tier? Great vid!
Use 1/2 the bag which is 16oz for a fat tire e-bike
I switched to kevlar shielded tires and haven't had any flats since
can you send me the link for that blue stand that attached to your seat...thx
Is there any issues after putting it in when you add or release air? Will it clog up your stem? I’m ready to buy but this is a concern for me.
That's what I really want to know
I don't know, I've gotten one flat since 2017 using 26in fat tires, had I replaced the tire a little sooner it may have been avoided. I don't use anything in my tires, the only thing that I can see that I'm doing differently than everybody else's I keep the PSI between 10 and 14 on an ebike. Sometimes I'll put a little bit of baby powder in the tires, but that's probably not doing much.
10-14psi? Please explain, I'm extremely curious
Does it really work? I'm thinking it would work with sand spurs, but larger objects no. I would love to hear your follow up on the product.
I posted this next part of my reply on another commenter who asked about Flat-out.
_"About 4 months ago I actually got a flat tire on a 26" Fat tire ebike that had Flat-out sealant in it! I ran over the middle of a stiff wire that made the sharp end of it curl and puncture the side wall. Nothing could have prevented the flat (other than me not running over the wire). Interesting thing that later happened when I pumped the tire up again to find the hole, I rotated the tire and leaned the bike to let the sealant find it and it completely sealed the sidewall tear! I needed to take a 2 day trip so I left the bike to see if it would hold and it did! We made a review video and took it off-road and our bouncing around tore the hole bigger so inevitably I needed to change the tube out. All that being said, Flat-out worked like a champ even for a tear. I do not ever recommend anyone continue to ride a bike that has a tear on the sidewall, but I was impressed on how well the sealant worked on a hole that any of its competitors would not have been able to make rideable."_
I continue to put flat out in all my ebikes and still believe its the best thing out there to prevent flats. The tear was about 5mm wide and I am still in disbelief that it sealed it so well where we could go off road with the ebike before the tear got bigger and the air leaked out and needed to be leaned over again to be resealed. I have footage of that day and hope to find a good way to make a story for youtube about it soon.
Seriously, if Flatout ever becomes a publicly traded company, I'd buy a ton of stock just for the fact that I believe in it so much. I know I'd have had at least 6-10 more flats over the last year if I didn't use it.
@@EbikeProducts Thanks for taking the time to share. I found a good video where several products were tested with different puncturing devices and Flat Out was the best.
Enjoyed your videos. How much per tire you putting into your Lextric XP 2.0?
I think that 8 oz per tire in 20 inch works fine for my xp2
A bit late perhaps, but he responded to this question a bit further up. For his particular tires he put in 16oz, as they are much larger than your standard ones.
@@daviddaly1652 One can put in 8 oz. per tire initially and then after the initial Flat Out tire puncture sealant installation; if one experiences an actual detectable potential tire puncture in real life; one can always later on top off the tube with another 8 oz. of replacement Flat Out tire puncture sealant to help ensure their is enough active effective Flat Out tire puncture sealant always even coating the insides of ones tube also as well.
WHAT IF YOU HAVE SPOKES THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED? HOW DOES THAT EFFECT THE TAKING OFF THE TIRE THING.
Because some tire don't seat correctly when airing up you should always turn bike upside down to get weight off tire to seat properly , air up half way or a littel at a time , move tire around and look that its seating evenly around, you can also add some soapy water on both side of tire seat so that it pops in correctly to seat. if all even continue to air up tire.after spin tire a look to see its evenly seated. if not you can ruin tire.
Well? How is it holding up in your bikes?
I use tuff armor yes it's more expensive but if I am aways away from home 1 I can still ride on it or I can take it to Amy shop without any issues. Any liquid in tires there shops that just won't fix your flat if you have put that in your tires because it's just extremely messy to deal with if that flat liquid can't seal it .
O and by the way I have yet to get a flat with the tuff armor yet and I have literally gone off road into weeds to get to some places.🤭
Slime contaminates the outside rubber if a slash puncture occurs, patches won't stick even after washing the area
Will this product work for thin 28mm tires as well? Thanks for the great vid.
I am not 100% sure. I think it will, but I’ve never tried it as I don’t know how to install it in presta valve tubes. Unfortunately, since my presta valve tires don’t get the stuff, I’ve been getting flats on them. When I figure out an efficient way to add it in, I’ll be sure to do a video.
I would reach out to the Flatout company and ask them if they have any tips. That’s what I’ll be doing when I have some downtime.
@@EbikeProducts Thank you very kindly!
One can always use the 100ml syringe method to install the Flat Out tire puncture sealant
I actually had a Kendra fat tire with the Anti Nell plastic strip in it Crack and puncture Inner tube and tire I'm thinking of baby using a motorcycle tire since it's about the same price as a 16th fat tire
Did you ever go with the motorcycle tire? Only issues I see is they're like ten times the weight and might be a a problem mounting with their thick side bead. 🤷
@@whatsit2ya247 Not yet, I hear you can do it though and I'm not worried about the weight because I have an electric bike I'd rather have the weight than dealing with fixing a flat. Got other projects going right now...
Can I do this with my already flat rear tire on my electric bike?
Yes, one can attempt to install the Flat Out tire puncture sealant so long as one manually rotates the tire around so that it can evenly coat the tube evenly inside over the time span of a couple minutes giving it a chance to seal any potential tire hole punctures in the process.
