Installation and Maintenance Guidance

Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and safety of your scooter's tires. Incorrect tire pressure is a common cause of issues. Most electric scooter tires require a pressure of at least 3.5 bar, which should be checked regularly, ideally once a week, using a pressure gauge.

Riding with improper tire pressure can lead to:

• Increased risk of punctures or damage to the inner tube.
• Accelerated wear on both the inner and outer surfaces of the tire.
• Reduced grip, potentially increasing the risk of slipping.
• Longer braking distances and compromised handling.

It is recommended to replace your tire if you notice significant wear, reduced grip, shaking during rides, or visible damage such as a flattened tread, burn marks, or holes on the outer side. On the inner side, look for detachment of the wire structure, which often indicates riding with insufficient pressure. Under normal use, tires typically require replacement every 1,000 to 2,000 km.

When replacing a tire, always inspect both the outer tire and the inner tube. A damaged outer tire can quickly compromise a new inner tube.
