- How to change the front tire of your NIU KQI3.
As with any scooter tire, it's not the easiest process. However, with a few tools and a little persistence, anything is possible.
This process is the same for most tubeless tires from other manufacturers, although the process of removing the tires will be different.
After filming, this video was reviewed by the team over at NIU. When they put the tires on the scooter, they pop the bead by using high-pressure air up to 140psi and set the tire pressure to around 50. I don't have a high-pressure air pump, so I made do the best I can with a foot pump. Luckily this did the trick. Your results may vary and I would suggest that if you are struggling, then please take the tire to a local mechanic that deals with tires to be able to help you pop the bead back onto the rim. They may charge you for this.
For road use. However, if you live in a place like the UK where you get a lot of rain, you will need to deflate the tires to around 37-40psi to ensure that you make use of the grip.
Thank you to NIU for sponsoring this video.

This has been a long awaited video, really anxious without having a proper guide for changing the tubeless tires. Thank you, now I can ride without worrying about sending the scooters back to NIU when I get a flat.
Glad it will help. Keep an eye out for the rear wheel change. There will be a battery compartment video first as you have to do that before you can remove the rear wheel
Man thank you for doing this! I'm sure this is going to help alot of people
It took some effort, but it seems doable! Thanks! 👏👏👏
Keep it up bro!! I got a kqi3 max and I would need these videos ahead!! 🙏
Thank you :)
wow great video. i was waiting for this video for a long time. thanks . keep posting morre about kqui3 repair and maintenance.
Thank you :)
Absolutely grand! I have the same scooter so this is great info for future reference. Cheers !
Glad it helped :)
Thank you so much for making these videos ! I can't find any bicycle shops in Palm Beach County Florida that will attemp to fix an e-scooter. Just to much work involved to change a tire if you ask me. Pray that the back tire lasts for a while ! Mine lasted six months on pavement with normal riding and the tires always inflated properly.
very useful your vid.....thanks and all the best
Gracias hermano se me hizo muy difícil cambiar en Rin delantero pero tú vídeo me ayudó mucho
Thanks. Very helpful.
Hi, thanks for making the video. I have a leaking tire stem valve on my KQI 3 PRO. Where cand i find that part or is it something standard ? Thank you in advance
Would 10x3 inch tires be too big for the wheels?
Are the self sealing tyres on the NIU KQI3 Max more of a gimmick or do they work?
Hi I had a hard time to pump the new tire. Can you please share how you did it in detail? Thanks!
If the beat isn’t seating correctly. Take it to a tire mechanic. They’ll be able to use high pressure to pop in back in the rim
Can anyone help me to fix the air valve on my back tire?
Thanks! Can you do a video of changing the rear tire? I can tell that one will be a pain.
Don’t worry I got you covered. The video is filmed. Just need to get it approved from NIU. Once they happy. Should be up next week :).
@@ScootLetsGo Thats awesome! Thanks so much. Having to open up the deck to disconnect the rear motor cable looks like a PITA. I subbed to your channel. :)
Hey bro just wondering to get my first scooter should I get a kqi3 max (1000CAD$)or ninebot Max(1200CAD$)
Kqi3 aaaall the way
I have the Kqi3 Max and I like it but the steering can get squirrelly over uneven surfaces so always have both hands on deck. Tried the ETWOW GT SE if you are interested because I wanted a lightweight speedster. But my feet would hurt after only 10 minutes and acceleration was slow. With the Niu I have zero pain and it's a torque monster. The Ninebot is much slower out of the box and will be too expensive to get everything the NIU comes with like dual disc brakes etc, so just get the NIU.
The tire is ok but the valve loses pressure instantly after i fill the tire
You will need to take the tire off and insert a new valve. Which is simple to do. But the tire needs to be off. But check to see if the valve is seated correctly first.
Chacho!! Rayaste toda la llanta tío 🤦😂
Only a little bit. It doesn't matter so much to me. I did say that people can protect thier rims a little more if they choose to
And do not touch the rotor 😂 with your fingers don’t you add sealant too?
Coming from the cycling world I'm wondering about sealant as well, but as long as a proper seal is made it shouldn't be needed much like a car's tire/rim set up. The tires Niu use are advertised as self-healing as well, but I'm also wondering how well they self seal.
I physically cannot get my tire off of the rim. It’s absolutely shredded and I still cannot get my tire off.
If the tire is already beyond repair. Then just cut it off.
They don’t want anyone doing this 😂
How do you mean?
