I'm glad he took that well, because I know you're just having fun, and that was funny! I'm super good at taking care of my tires, but here I am! You never know what little tips you can pick up.
Range can be up to 20% more with 15 PSI more if the tire can handle it. Contact traction reduction then run both motors and never ride in the rain. If you have many modes of transportation.
Wow!, the power of Technology this post came just in time. I just got done dealing with this problem as we speak I had a pinch flat and didn't even know how it started
Pinch flats are the wors, because the air loss is so immediate. Really make sure to inspect the inside surface of the tire. We have seen a couple scooters get chronic flats after a pinch flat, because the tire developed a burr inside that was rubbing on the new tube. -Paul
Paul, you saved me the struggle to find the perfect air pump and extender without losing air cause of the rubber extender which was frustrating. Now I can save my range more better now. Can't wait to see how you replace tires and even fix scrapes and scratches too.
Thanks so much. Oh scrapes and scratches! I hadn't though of that. What sort of scrapes and scratches would you like to see us look at? Wheels, scooter deck? -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Hey there Paul, I got a red Emove Cruiser and my friend got too close by the curb within the bike lane and scraped the right edge of the deck. The scratch basically took off paint and you can see the metal inside Would be a nice suggestion for a nice touch up
Ugh! That sucks. I've got two solutions. One of them is weird. Go to your local auto parts store and buy some touch up paint. This can be dicey, trying to find the right color. With red, if it's not coming out bright enough, put down some white first, because red is always a little transparent and needs something bright behind it to make a bright red. Here's the weird solution. Take your scooter to Home Depot and get them to make some house paint to match the color, and then brush a little clear coat over it once it's dry. Can use clear nail polish. House paint isn't very durable, but I'm thinking the clear coat would help. I've used this trick to touch up the Sand Beige interior of my Porsche 911 back when I still had it. But that was a flat-ish finish, so I haven't actually tried using clear coat (may not be compatible at all with latex paint!). You could just go for gloss finish latex and call it good. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Wow! 😄 Those are really some good solutions, even the weird one doesn't sound bad at all. Haha. Thanks a lot Paul! It's no wonder your community is the best for electric scooters. Very professional and reliable. 😎
That digital pressure gauge that you showed from Amazon is actually really good quality. I got it for $20 and I have one for Presta and one for Schrader. Yes, I know I could simply switch the heads, but for $20 I like to have one for each and then I don't ever have to mess with it.
Also if your tyre pressures are too low it can effect your battery life and your range as well. I I've just installed two new batteries tn my scooter and the batteries seemed to be running out of charge way too quickly but I remembered that my tyre pressures affect the batteries if they weren't pumped up to the correct pressure which is 45 PSI. I checked the tyre pressures and they were far too low, pumped them up and the scooter ran better longer.
I got a xiaomi mi portable electric air compressor for like $60 it has been great for monitoring tire pressure and is small enough to comfortably fit in a backpack
Big thanks, Paul! Should've seen this about 1 month ago when my rear tire just got flat. Mine is Razor Eco Smart HUB HD for just a year. Called and no bike shops like to deal with "scooter!" The problem for this rear tire is the valve has 90 degree angle so can't pump air with my bike pump. Now I know there's extension! Wonder you have some videos dealing with disassembly rear tire (esp. with motor like mine/HUB) and reinstall the inner tube? Thanks much!
jo, and forth to mention we are dealing with a very low air volume, when you inflate inside your warm house and go out on wet cold surface, the pressure will be less, due air contraction
I always pump a little a little extra because I tend to lose air when removing the bike pump. I didn't know the metal valve extenders had that extra function.
They're just smaller volume and the point where they stop opening the valve stem of the scooter is really close to the point where they break the seal with the outside of the stem, so they do a much better job of not losing air. And, I just have a much easier time getting them screwed on/off. -Paul
And what is specific name of this metal extender to buy? Where can it be bought? Sorry, I am a new user of electric scooters - today is my first day in this field :)
Great video Paul! Paul staying with the tires theme any chance you might do one on how to slime tires and tire changing videos? Paul on the ESG website the Dualtron Spider is incomplete any chance you might redo or fill in the info? Particularly the range on the Spider and how it might compare to some of the other premium light weight scooters like the Apollo Ghost.
Thanks! Yes, I'm hoping to do more tire stuff soon. Slime and tire changes are definitely on the list if we keep going with the repair series. We have a pile of Dualtrons coming very soon, but unfortunately none are the Spider, so I'm not sure when we'll get to test one :-( -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide ahhh thats too bad. Its the one Dualtron I might be able to carry in out of my walk up. Great news on the tire videos though, thanks.
I just bought a Mansso Smart Air Pump for me e scooter. It checks and sets tyre pressure and can pump up tyres on bikes, cars, balls etc. I’ve not used it yet as I’ve never used 1 before and I’m bit worried that I might do something wrong and mess up my good tyres. Any1 know if what I bought, is any good for pumping e scooter tyres and check set pressure? It’s costed around £45 . The tyres on my e scooter say psi of 36. Should I set to this or a little higher? Also, I don’t know what valve to use, will there only be 1 that will fit my e scooter tyres? Any advise would be great.
I haven't tried that pump yet. Just take your time getting to know it, to make sure it won't over-pressure your tires. If you run a little over it's ok. Just let the air down to the recommended pressure before riding. I really like the metal adapters I use in the video, but depending on what scooter you have, you may not need an adapter at all. Cheers -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide the Cobo mantis 8. But I looked at your videos with all of the models one of the Mantis had solid tires at the back. And I think of tubeless Ties at the front. Can I order the Mantis 8 with that? Is there that option. Or can I do the otherwise and change the ties
You can try lower pressure, but I would keep it bewtween 35 psi and 45 psi. Anything lower than 35 psi and you're really risking getting pinch-flats. You also have to keep a close eye on pressures if you're running them lower, because you won't have a lot of pressure to spare if you lose a few psi. They sell some aftermarket shocks for that scooter which may help, but I haven't tested them. Remember to keep your knees bent when riding, and look ahead, so you can be part of the suspension too. -Paul
Thank you for the video. My question is I just got my Emove cruiser around 10 days ago. What should be the period I should check my tire cuz it’s so stiff now
Check at least every week. Definitely check any new scooter's pressure before riding. Enjoy your Cruiser! Great scooter. We love ours and are looking forward to the new one. -Paul
I believe it is 43-50. Same as the Inokim. I needed a new tire and inner tube and the kit said it fits both. Just to be sure, look on the tire’s sidewall.
You’re the man Paul, thank you. You helped me with this on the forum (Icarus23) for my Explore, so it’s nice to see a video like this for everyone. I keep my Explore at 50 PSI. The Xiaomi pump has been a lifesaver.
Nice! Thank you! I'm jealous of that Xiaomi pump! We don't even have one of those yet here in the studio. You definitely shouldn't get any pinch flats at 50 psi. That's 5 psi over the max listed on the side of our Explore tires. Is the ride a little rough at that pressure, or still pretty good? -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide The ride is good! When I received my scooter early this year I made sure to ask Apollo and they stated recommended PSI is 45-50. I stick to roads and bike lanes but it’s smooth throughout.
Hi Paul at what ambient Temp do you recommend to measure pressure? I'm assuming cold pressure readings? I ask because I run tpms on my scooter and I notice a large range of pressure just during a ride... If cold Mfr recommended is 35 but Max on tire sidewall is 45... And I measure cold at 40psi at 65F ambient but in the heat of the afternoon my hot pressure goes to 51 what do you think?

Since he failed to mention casing at all I can take that & assume it essentially doesn't matter so long as u keep up with the correct tire pressure as stated ? Someone pls !?
