When the front tire on my Swagger 5 went flat, I bought this to replace it. It was a little difficult to install, but I followed some YouTube videos' instructions and heated the tire in the microwave for 1 minute. 00 minute (2x) to soften the rubber (use gloves because the tire was hot). The ride is much more comfortable now that I've upgraded, and I'm no longer concerned about flat tires. Scooters are also faster because they have an inner-wheel. The tube tires (260 lb. ) were a little overworked. rider).

My Swagger came with a flat front tire that needed to be replaced. Rather than dealing with the hassle of returning it, I decided to replace it with this airless tire, which I struggled to install due to my mistakes. After hours of trying, I found someone doing it on YouTube, and it was simple. I was able to mount the tire in a matter of minutes after learning the tricks.
1. Remove the wheel from the scooter (metric hex keys and an 18mm open end wrench are required), then remove the old tire and valve stem. Using screwdrivers as tire irons, I was able to easily remove my tire. The motor is disconnected. br>2. Drill a hole straight across the opposite rim, using the valve stem hole as a guide.
3. Close the hole with a zip tie but do not close it yetbr>4. Microwave for 3 minutes to heat the tire. Some people recommend boiling it for ten minutes.
5. Apply a light coating of rubber-based grease to the rim on the side where the wire protrudes. grease that is not harmful I made use of brake grease. Vaseline may also be used.
6. Place the wheel on a step or a board with the wire side up so you can manhandle it on with your hands and body weight. The downward-facing axle's and connector's threads should be protected. If necessary, you can re-thread the nut.
7. Take the hot tire and place it loosely over the wheel while wearing gloves. Keep your eyes peeled for the rotation's direction. The wire side of the chevrons should be up and the chevrons should point clockwise.
8. To keep the tire in place, wrap a zip tie around it. While tightening the tire, try to get it close to being in place. It will not be seated, but that is not a problem.
9. Now comes the surprisingly simple part: with both hands, push the tire into place while keeping the axle down and up against the step, using the zip tie closest to you as a guide. To stretch the tire over the rim, you'll have to lean in quite hard.
10. Push the serrated part of the tire into the rim with a screwdriver until it is completely enclosed. To do this, I used an 8-inch long 1/2-inch bolt in the tire's holes, and it was very simple.

It's difficult to set up, but it can be done. Edit: I bought a second one of these to replace the cheap back tire, and the ride is now smoother than ever and just as fast (if not faster) than when I first got it. br>br>I have a Swagtron Swagger 5, which is essentially a Xiaomi M365 knockoff, and this tire fits perfectly to replace the inflatable front tire; from what I can tell, it's identical to most honeycomb solid tires that fit this description. br>br>As with all solid tires, you'll get less cushion and mileage/speed on your ride than with a properly inflated air tire, but after years of flats I couldn't fix and weeks of riding on a flat tire, I decided it could only be a good thing, and I won't have to fix any more flats from now on. It rides well enough, and mileage isn't a major concern for me. br>br>There are a lot of tires like this one on the market, and they're all extremely difficult to install, so bear with me. There are videos online that show you how to soften the rubber by heating it in the microwave or boiling it. Forcing it on is done with zip ties and tire irons. Some or all of those techniques may be required. I live in Miami, where the climate is probably much more favorable for flexible rubber than in colder climates. And I'm an adult male of average strength, with slightly above-average athletic ability. Hand strength is about average. br>br>With all of those caveats, know that I was able to secure the wheel in a vise, lightly grease the rim with lithium, insert one side of the tire into the rim, and gradually work the tire into the rim with only my bare hands until it was completely seated. After that, I simply pushed the tire into alignment within the rim with a screwdriver through each successive hole in the tire. I never had to heat the tire; I believe that the rhythmic pushing I did with my hands to stretch the tire warmed the rubber in a similar way. br>br>It wasn't easy, and I can't promise you'll be able to pull it off, but it is possible.

My scooter's tire was punctured. After reading some positive reviews, I decided to purchase it. On the negative side - Without the proper tools, installation is extremely difficult - I found a local bike shop that could help me with it. I like that I won't have to worry about getting another flat and having to have it changed now that the tire has been installed. One thing to keep in mind is that the ride is a little "harder" because it's solid rubber, but it's not a deal breaker - The ride becomes much more comfortable if you bend your knees slightly.

br>Like others have said, it's difficult to get in. My technique was to lay the tire flat against the ground, insert the center hub partway into the tire at the bottom, and lean my knee on that part to keep it in the tire. Next, I used screwdriver type tools to pry the tire up around the hub from above the top part of the hub(or rim). I'm sure there are videosbr>br>but overall, a fantastic purchase at a fantastic price!.
