How To - Solid Tubeless Tire Install for your Xiaomi 365 or Hover 1 Scooter (8.5 in tire)

Walking you through the install of an 8.5 solid tire install on a Xiaomi, GoTrax, or Hover 1 scooter. I had a third flat tire on a scooter and decided I'd had enough of the tubed tires. This includes removal and reinstall of the tire, as well as detailed step by step instructions on how to mount the new tire to the rim. Hint, you need to boil the tire.

Amazon has a couple of these tires including a glow in the dark version. You may want to pick up some tire spoons and zip ties:

Three flat tires on the rear tire of my Hover 1 led me here. I’m not mechanical, so needed some help. Really helped with assembly and disassembly, thank you. I boiled the tire 2x and no way could I get that tire on the rim. Wrong tools, wrong leverage. However, the fellas down at World Famous Mike’s Bikes (motorcycle shop) in Queen Creek AZ were able to pretty quickly. The right tools make the difference, for sure. For all y’all that got this on by yourself, kudos.

This was the single hardest thing I have ever done to any moving vehicle, car, or scooter.

Thanks! Your tutorial helped me a great deal. Took me about an hour to first get the old tire to come off (idk why but it was the hardest) and then replace it with a new one. Boiled the rubber and managed to wrap it around the wheel with just bare hands and two large screwdrivers to center the tyre later. Took some serious effort but was definitely worth it. The repair shop where I live overcharges for the service. It can be done so don't give up people!

Thanks a bunch my brother I was getting so stressed over this and getting aggressive throwing screwdrivers at the wall save me a lot of stress too

I couldn’t have done it without your video. Thank you! The zip ties were genius! What a tough sucker to get on!!!!

Thank you for this. 3 hours and a lot of sweat and I finally got my tire on. Same exact one as yours and had the same issues lol. I actually had the hardest time getting the original tire off and ended up cutting it off with some strong scissors. Made it a lot easier.

Thanks again for your help. You rock.

Thanks, this helped out a lot. I added salt to the water to raise the boiling point and this definitely made them more pliable and hotter! Definitely used the trick with the hole in the wood.

Hi Andi,
Thank you for tutorial. I have to add that for 365pro front wheel is far more difficult to work with and riding on solid tires are less comfortable, more battery consuming, I have this feeling like riding on flat tire and is more slippery especially on wet surfaces. Despite it, In my opinion, replace is sensible solution.

I bought a new scooter instead of attempting to change the tyre. I have 4 scooters now. 3 of them have flat tyre

[jaredharris]

It’s great for a while once they on your like no more flats but eventually they wear out you’ll notice splits where the holes are that will end up reaching the tire surface mine lasted about a year

When you fit the brake callipers back the correct way to align it to the disk is to merely press on the lever. The pads then grip the disk and align themselves, then just do the bolts up whilst holding the lever.

I myself am a transgender woman trying to install one of these. this made me more confident.

[Samhain]

Painful to watch !!! Very entertaining !!! I enjoy your videos !!!

[clamsthecat]

Ughhh I just removed the tire from the wheel last night. It sucked, and I haven't even tried to cook the new tire yet. Not excited for that step.

[ZdsZodyrus]

You didn't list a link in your description of one with the tire already on the rim like you said you did. Can you change that? Cause I've been trying for days to get my tired on and no matter what it just won't work.

[lakeshatheman]

Do you have a video showing how to change a tubeless tire on the front motor wheel of an e-scooter? I'm having a hard time finding one?

[danjguy]

I can see your frustration lol....ive been avoiding this til now but here we go....ugh! Thanks for the video!
