Key Characteristics and Advantages

This outer tire is designed to provide reliable grip and durability for daily use on your electric scooter. The tread pattern visible in the product images is suitable for general road conditions.

Maintaining Tire Pressure for Safety and Longevity

Correct tire pressure is critical for the safety, performance, and lifespan of your scooter's tires and inner tubes. Most electric scooters, including Xiaomi models, require an inner tube pressure of at least 3.5 bar. It is recommended to check tire pressure regularly, ideally once a week, using a pressure gauge.

Riding with improper inner tube pressure can lead to:

• Increased risk of inner tube punctures and damage
• Accelerated wear on both the inside and outside of the outer tire
• Reduced grip, increasing the risk of slipping
• Longer braking distances
• Compromised handling and stability

When to Replace Your Tire

The outer tire should be replaced as soon as you notice signs of significant wear, reduced grip, or changes in handling characteristics such as shaking. Under normal use, replacement is generally recommended every 1,000 to 2,000 km.

Visible signs indicating the need for replacement include:

• Outer Tread: A flattened tread pattern, visible burn marks, or holes. While normal riding causes wear, aggressive braking or stunts can accelerate it.
• Inner Structure: Detachment of the internal wire structure, which is often a result of prolonged riding with incorrect tire pressure.

If you experience a "flat tire" or notice a worn outer tire, it is important to inspect both the inner tube and the outer tire, as incorrect pressure often damages both components. Installing a new inner tube into a damaged outer tire will significantly limit the new inner tube's lifespan.

Installation Guidance

Replacing scooter tires and inner tubes can be challenging. Unprofessional installation can potentially lead to:

• Damage to motor cables
• Damage to the motor frame
• Sharp cuts or damage to the rim
• Damage to both the new tire and inner tube

If you are not confident in performing the replacement yourself, it is advisable to seek assistance from a qualified service technician to ensure safe and correct installation.
