Installation and Safety Guidance

Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for the longevity of your inner tube and tyre, as well as for safe riding. When replacing an inner tube:

• Inspect the Tyre: Carefully check the inside and outside of the outer tyre for any sharp objects, punctures, or damage that could compromise the new inner tube. A damaged outer tyre can quickly lead to a new flat.
• Valve Orientation: Ensure the 90° bent valve is correctly aligned with the valve hole in the rim to prevent stress on the valve stem.
• Avoid Pinching: During installation, take care not to pinch the inner tube between the tyre bead and the rim. Partially inflating the inner tube before seating the tyre can help prevent this.
• Seating the Tyre: Ensure the tyre beads are fully and evenly seated on both sides of the rim before full inflation.
• Inflation: Inflate the inner tube to the pressure recommended by your scooter or tyre manufacturer. Riding with incorrect pressure can lead to inner tube damage, premature tyre wear, reduced grip, longer braking distances, and poor handling.
• Post-Installation Check: After inflation, visually inspect the tyre and inner tube for any bulges or signs of improper seating.
