If you look under the cap of every bottle of Flat Out there is a valve stem remover built into the cap. It will remove the valve stem if you don't have room to use the red tool.
An Asian man with an Italian nyc accent. Love the video. Just did my ridstar q20 pro 52v dual battery and dual 2000w motor.
I just installed this on my ebike, just a little tip, works better if you can get the weight off the tires. The tire will seal much better while being pumped back up.
Flat out works waaaay better than any kind of tire liners, I know cause I've used both and Flat out WINS hand down!
Thank you for your input.
Why not use both as double Preventative measures
For me I find that liners causes more flats than prevent them.
Flat Out is the real deal, got it in my tractor and pull carts too
My area is loaded with goatheads, nasty things go thru everything
There used to be caps that had a tool built into the end. So easy to use.
ANYWAY THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THE VIDEO BRO.
You're welcome
Yes it does work guys lov it
For the back wheel you can use a Schrader cap with core tool for the back tire
Oh man, I got this installed in my ebike and it really gives me confidence to ride without worry. I live in Charlotte and although it's a bike friendly city, there is always debris to be on the lookout for. Really great product.
I still carry a patch kit with me , but this install does give you more confidence to ride boldly.
I ride the same bike in the video in Charlotte too!
Does this work really well I got a flat and I wanna make sure it actually does work
Flat Out flat out works!!! 🤗 I have the same bike & have had 2 flats in the last year; one a pinch flat, after airing down my tires too much (5#) for the snow last winter...The 2nd flat I got when I ran over a nail...In both cases, (after I removed the nail in one), I just aired the tires back up & it was amazing to see both holes instantly repaired in just seconds......Just Be Sure & carry an air pump with you, as it doesn't necessarily prevent flats, but it most certainly repairs them!!!. I like the battery operated kind for my fat tires...Happy Trails 🤗
I live in Greensboro
I got flat out plus some shower pan liners from home depot..that thing is tougher than these regular tire liners..i never got a flat with that combo..
How much sealant for a 20x2.40 tire with tube ? Would it be too bad if I out more than recommended ? I know it will cause extra weight.
Great video Bruddah
Thank you
I’m still getting flats with the flatout tire sealant from really big screws unfortunately
I've got a fat tire ebike and I put that same stuff in my tires, two days later I ran over a sharp Rock and it cut a quarter inch hole in the tire right into the inner tube and I had a blowout/ it didn't work on a blowout all the air came out when I took the inner tube out there was a half inch rip in the inner tube
Sorry to hear that man.
thanks !
I tried many times the value stem is very hard to come out
Would the bottle that you are using be best for these tires? i see they have different symbols on the bottle for different vehicles you can use them on.
The bottle that I got is made for off road vehicles such as atv's. It does say not for passenger cars or trucks. I guess speed is a factor for these sealants.
That black circle cap on the Flat Out has a valve stem remover on it.
Yes but don't work well
How to get the Flat-out fluid out when changing tube that already has Flat-out in it? Will deflating air from the value stem activate the seal? Thanks
You will have to buy new flat out.
Does this work with mini scooters, too? ( The scooter with a seat that's like a Vespa, not the stand up scooter. )
Scooters have bigger spokes. Not sure never owned a Scooter before. Good luck
Are you still satisfied with Flat Out?I'm going to buy some now and use it on my 26" fat tires on my mountain bike. I'm deciding if I want to return my tire liners that cost about 60 dollars
I have not had any punctures yet. Been very careful where I ride. Having thr flat out is just an insurance and a peace of mind.
During rural hawthorn hedge cutting season nothing will save you , an absolute pita for a sixty something with bad wrists and eyesight when doing his weekly 40 mile shopping trip with trailer . I have had ten in the last three weeks . Well done farmers .
Sorry to hear this. Ride safely.
Great video. just wondering are you supposed to remove the air tube from the tire before using Flatout.
Flat out can be used with or without air tube. Since bike has the air tube I used it inside the airtube.
@@electrifyus Thanks for info.
@@electrifyus
I think he was asking if the sealant goes into the tube rather than the tire. The answer is that if you have a tube, the sealant goes into the tube.
Yes this would be installed in the tube.
@@electrifyus Interesting, I'm going to try it. Btw, do you have any helmet recommendations? I got my eyes on xnito and bern
I used slime in my ebike it works but l still got flats so l had to get tuffy liners plus better tires. I got zig zag tires now it rides so much better.⚡👍👍😁⚡⚡⚡
The flat out works for punctures up to half an inch and it has Kevlar fibers in it. They did a side by side comparison between slime and flat out and flat out out perform almost all of the tire puncture products. This is why I choose flat out.
@@electrifyus I'll have to try it for sure.I didn't know how good it was.Thanks👍👍😁⚡💯
Tell ya what, for $2k-3k for an Ebike, you would think they would add a Tanus insert for both tires relieving the stress on the consumer to avoid installing and paying extra for peace of mind products like this or the Tannus.
I think there's a certain margin they would need to make it profitable for them. I'm sure they can add the liners but it would increase the price more.
They have said before they have considered doing liners, but they are easy to source and it increases the cost to the bike that would be passed onto the consumer, if they did an upgrade like that they would rather go after other upgrades like brakes or components.
Flat-out beats everything.
That stuff is hit or miss.
I this is late, but I used flatout 2 days ago and got a flat today
Can you use flat out in a tire that currently has a leak. Will it seal it up
It would be a temporary fix. It's made so you can get home.
I’ve already got Tannis armor and I’ve determined they don’t work, so this is next
Try it, it can't hurt. It's a lot cheaper.
So your saying you got a flat with the tannus armor..I'm not trying to be funny..I know them things aren't cheap.
@@electrifyus Tannus inserts become flat after a period of usage. flat foam gives you no protection whatsoever. I know because I had Tannus in my tires and pulled it out after a month of use to discover this. I have Flat-out in all my tires now.
what tires brand are intaled in your bike?
thanks
They are stock tires that came with the bike. I don't know the brand name off hand.
why did u use the trailer formula instead of the sportsman formula?
It's what I got at the time and I just used what I got. I've ridden it about 300 miles so far without any issues.
@@electrifyus oh alr I though it was better or something like that ty
Liners + flat out = no worries ;)
How has it worked out over the last two years?
We have not had any issues.
Have you noticed any reduced MPH/KPH with the added weight to the tires?
Not from adding the flat-out. It's minimal amount added to each tire. Ride safe.
Well... Have you had any flats?
I wouldn’t be worried about the price of liners on a bike that cost probably $2000 out the door. Liners have other benefits that the stuff you’re using could never mimic in addition to puncture resistance. Namely, the Mr. Tuffy’s I put within my tires reduced the rolling resistance on my Rad Mini 4 and made the bike faster and smoother….plus you don’t have to worry about a bump in the tire if it sits for awhile like the goopy products...
Wait….Liners reduce rolling resistance? Well that explains it…My Cyrusher XF800 e-bike has tyre liners, and when free wheeling, it out runs my boy’s hybrid style road bike by 1 to 1.5 mph down hill. I couldn’t understand why my fat tyres had less rolling resistance…now it is clear, thanks.👍
@@contessa.adella ... that's my singular experience and I tell you no lies, Contessa Adella, or I be a ...dead man...
...fyi...though the rad mini bikes have 20" fat tire wheels I bought the 26" liners and just continued to lay the extra liner within the tire tread and did not cut off the excess material...more protection...more weight too...but at this point with rad rack, basket, more lights , water bottle(s), horn, lock and various other what have yous...trying to save weight with these behemoths is a long forgotten whimsy...
"a bump in the tire"? FlatOut won't dry out for a decade. It's always remains in a liquid state. Your rubber will dry rot before that happens.
You bought the wrong version. That’s the “Tubeless" Trailer version.
Sealant will work for 20 miles patching holes but you gotta replace inner tube after that
Since this sealant is added before you ride, that's not true. However, if the tire loses pressure on you one day, that means you have a puncture too large for the sealant already circulating. In other words, you will still need a patch kit, but you will use it less often.
let me know if it work
I will do an update video later on
I found that the design of the "FlatOut" container made it very difficult to squeeze the last 1/4 of material into the inner tube. A cylintrical container might have been a better design for the "FlatOut" container because it would have allowed a better hand hold to squeeze and extrude the material into the tire. Just saying.
I've turn the bottle upside down and waited for last bit of fluid to move down the bottle before squeezing. Had no issues.
@@electrifyus Yep. I tried that too. Maybe my batch was not as fluid as yours. Thanks.
How much heavier does this make your tires?
The bottle is 2.25lbs. I used in 4 tires. So a little over .56 of a lb for each tire. It's negligible.
Is this better then the slime stuff everyone keeps talking about?
This stuff fix up to 1/2" punctures, and has Kevlar materials within to plug up the holes. From my research this works better.
Wouldn't it have been easier for the valve to be at the bottom so the fluid would flow out of the bottle better just a thought from the logical UK.
Yes it would make more sense but I was following the instructions on the bottle. It's been a while but I believe they says the fluid will flow downwards.
@@electrifyus other videos I have seen have the stem still at the top, but have the FlatOut bottle upside down with a U in the delivery tube.
The valve should be at the top so when the flat out enters the tube it falls down the tube and distributes evenly
you have the valve in the wrong place.
You don't need any of that slime stuff in your tires, those tires are extremely puncture resistant once you stop over inflating. Under 15psi your flat issues will go away. Maybe one flat ever couple years.
Under 15 psi really kill's your battery range.
@@rolandledesma7753 who told you that, it's not true. Some of those ties are different, but most if them are pretty solid at 15 psi. After that they start to ride a little rough. I'm starting to realize that fat tires these days aren't of the same quality that they were 5 ten years ago, if you noticed especially with the 26-inch ones, they're not perfectly round even the expensive ones. But what will destroy your range which I learned the hard way after spending $150 is going fater then 4 inch wide. But most my tires (three fat tire bikes) are pretty solid at 13.5 psi I even have one pair an older pair that are much better than all my other pairs, says not to even go above 15 psi all the other ones say 20
@@mjsmjs7905 The lower the PSI, the more rolling resistance is created thus causing more energy to roll.
Needless to say I bought the heavy duty $150 liners for my tires
Use a liner inside the tire instead sealant will only work sometimes.
This stuff is way too heavy and will make your motor work harder and your range will suffer with all the rotational weight.
You’re at 90deg high. You should be at 45deg low. You ever heard of grvoty
Your supposed to be up so the flat out can flow down the tire tube. I know it seems counter intuitive. These are per instructions. Thank you for your input.
@@electrifyus I'm pretty sure the product will flow around the tire as it rolls.
I've never heard of grvoty either
Good luck patching a puncture the slime doesn't seal. It'll be so slimy, you'll have to walk it home and clean it with soap an water. You're better off just carrying a pump and a patch kit. If you notice your tire leaking air slowly, and you don't want to stop and patch it, just pump it up as needed, and ride it home
This stuff should be good for punctures up to 1/2". This stuff is better than slime.
I agree with a patch kit but also the slime can help in certain situations like a small tack or nail. It doesn't do what many people believe it does which they find out once they have a problem but it's just a little extra security.
Green Slime saved me, I got a flat in back tire put 8 ounce of green Slime in n it fixed it n still holding up 2 months later, I was riding in forest n side of interstate a lot , forest roads n off roading in forest, forest where I live don't have much to give you a flat tire, but like in desert where many little thorns are you will definitely need good tire liners like tuffy ones
I carry 1 or 2 bottles of 8 ounce green Slime n step on bike pump, get good side back baskets to carry extra stuff, I got the Wald 535 ones n cut them off back rack part cause my e bike had a back rack already, I used tire wire n theses mount bolt things to put them on my back rack
You are using the WRONG FORMULA! You should be using the SPORT formulation of Flat Out for e-bike tires, not the TRAILER version. Also, take the label off the bottle so you can more easily see what's left in the bottle and for gods-sake, turn the tire valve to the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock position before you attempt to fill the tire with Flat Out - it will be MUCH easier to control the flow than at the 6 or 12 o'clock position.
CRAP. doesn't work... Just makes a mess when changing the flat
How big was the puncture?
@@electrifyus a finish nail... very small.

There Are None Righteous / How To Be Saved
Romans 3:10 & 23
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Luke 5:31-32 (Jesus speaking)
31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
1 Peter 3:18 (The word “quicken” means “to make alive”)
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Repent of your sins or suffer the consequences. Lord Jesus died in our places personally to take the death punishment that sin deserves and then resurrected by the power of God. Believe this and sincerely repent of your sins each time you sin and you will have eternal life and nothing to fear. Fail to repent and you will end up in the Lake of Fire.
Jesus is Lord. Amen brother.
I don't have any confidence on this products. Just carry your tools and fix it the old fashioned way. It's sad that we can place a man in the moon but we can't come up with a good invention for a bike tire.
So true, it's not a cure all but it will stop small holes temporarily so you can get home and deal with the issue easier. Ride safe.
Did we really put a man on the moon?
Great idea until your tire blows out because you did not know you had a hole in your tire and kept on riding the e bike.
@hill north LOL
Stem is in wrong position
