How to fix a puncture or change a tyre on the M365 Mi Electric Scooter

Whether it be a puncture or riding so much that you wear the tyres out, there will come a time when you need to remove the tyres and inner tubes of your Mi Electric scooter. If its your first time it can be a daunting and complex procedure. In this article we’ve documented the approach we use for removing / replacing the tyres and inner tubes on the scooter.

Disclaimer : as ever anything you do to your scooter is your responsibility. RC Geeks cannot accept liability for any damage caused to you or your scooter as a result of following our methods.

TLDR Tips for tube and tyre replacements

This is a difficult task and we aren’t here to sugar coat it, but here are some tips that might help (if you don’t have time to read this article):

  • Warm (but do not excessively heat) the tyres to make them easier to work with. Leave them in the airing cupboard or on a radiator, not in the oven where they will. At worst case, make sure the whole scooter is at room temperature (don’t attempt this in a cold garage).
  • Get another pair of hands, a friend holding the tyre in place whilst you lever the last edge on makes all the difference.
  • Purchase proper tyre lever tools or at a bare minimum use nylon covered metal levers designed for bicycle repair to avoid scuffing your rims.
  • Use large cable ties through the spokes on the rear wheel to bind the tyre to the rim whist working around the lip to seat the tyre.
  • Refit the rear tyre to the frame once the tyre is over the wheel, to lever against the frame, assisting in seating the bead to the lip.

If you really can’t manage it, consider approaching your local bike shop. An experienced bicycle mechanic should be able to help you.

Tools needed

Some specialist tools are required to make this job straightforward:

  • Quality tyre levers (we can’t stress this enough)
  • 18mm open-ended spanner
  • 2. 5mm hex driver
  • 4mm hex driver/allen key
  • Small scalpel/pick
  • WD-40 and a lubricant such as fairy liquid (vaseline also an option)
  • Spare inner-tube/tyre , tyre inflation adaptor (all came with your scooter)
  • Air pump

You potentially have some bicycle tyre levers at home. You might think they will do the job. With enough straining and swearing you might just get away with it. Instead, pick up a set of these foot-long metal ones (designed for fitting motorcycle tyres) from eBay to make your life easier.

Fixing punctures or changing tyres on the rear wheel

In our experience this is the wheel that seems to get more punctures, thankfully it is the ‘easier’ one to work with.

Removing the rear wheel of the scooter

1. Position the scooter so you can work on it comfortably, fold it and place it upside down or on its side (disc side down) on a work-surface. Remove the valve cap and put it safely to the side. Use a tool to deflate the inner tube, squeezing the tyre to try and get as much air out as possible.

2. Take a scalpel or pick and remove the plastic trim strip (the whole piece, not just the top red sticker label) from the rear screw cover.

3. Once clear, use the 2.5mm hex driver to remove the two screws that hold the trim piece on. Pop the trim piece off and put these parts aside.

4. Take the allen/4mm hex driver and unscrew (counter-clockwise) the axle bolt. Keep this, the spring washer and flat washer safe. You should have removed all these pieces so far.

Taking the rear tyre off

5. With the wheel still attached, squeeze the tyre and slip the tyre lever under the bead.

6. Rotate the wheel bracing the lever off of the frame of the scooter to release the bead from the wheel lip, this will take some force.

7. Once it is around a third released you can use your hands to man-handle the tyre all the way off on one side.

8. Flip the scooter over (or move to the other side) and repeat the process to remove the trim piece, the two cap-head 2.5mm bolts and finally the other 4mm axle bolt

9. Slide the wheel straight back out of the scooter. It might need to be wiggled to clear the brake caliper. Note the flats on the axle for locating it, important to remember when refitting later.

10. With the wheel out you can pull the tyre over to one side, allowing you pop the inner-tube free and then the wheel itself. This will take some grip strength, especially if the tyre is cold. Try not to work with the disc-side-down as it is easy to bend the disc, making it rub on the pads as it rotates.

11. Finally wiggle the inner tube valve out of the wheel to free it. Your patience will be rewarded after a few minutes of fiddling. Pushing from the valve side can work if you are struggling.

Replacing the inner-tube

12. The inner tube valve is designed with a slight offset to match the wheel. Orientate the wheel to match this.

13. Push the valve through the rim and secure it with the valve cap to prevent it from falling out again.

14. if you are replacing the tube due to puncture, take some time to check the inside of the tyre to ensure there is nothing inside that will harm the new inner tube. Next orientate the tyre so the tread is facing the correct direction. With the brake disc ‘up’ the tyre rotates anti-clockwise as denoted by the arrows next to the sizing numbers on the sidewall seen in the photo below:

Refitting the rear tyre

15. Squash the tyre into an oval shape and insert the wheel and tube into it.

16. Gently tuck any excess inner tube in with your hands. Pull the lip of the tyre back from the wheel body to check the tube is clear of the lips on both sides to avoid a pinch flat. Twist the tyre until you seat the ‘rear’ bead on the disc side. A lever can help here but it is possible with your bare hands.

17. Re-insert the wheel into the frame, taking note of the keying to slide it in. Install the axle bolts top and bottom and screw them tight with just your fingers.

18. Rotate the tyre so the valve is close to the footplate. Insert the lever under the tyre lip and rotate the wheel anti- clockwise to jam the tool up against the frame.

19. Use both hands to continue rotating the wheel anti-clockwise, slipping the bead back under the lip until complete. The resistance will increase as you turn it. If you find the tyre wants to ‘pop off’ the wheel you can use cable ties run around the tyre and between the spokes to secure sectors of the tyre as you work around.

20. Replacement of the screws and trim is the reversal of removal. Tighten but do not over-torque the axle bolts, use hand tools only. Remove the valve cap and inflate to your required pressure.

Changing tyres and fixing punctures on the front wheel

The motor wheel is more difficult to work on. Unless you go to extreme lengths you will be working on it whilst tethered to the frame (via the power cable) and there are no spokes to help grip the wheel.

Removing the front wheel of the scooter

1. Position the scooter so you can work on it comfortably, fold it and place it upside down or on its side wire-motor-side-up on a work-surface. Using the pick remove the ‘u’ trim (not just the sticker but the whole piece).

02. Next use your wrench to remove the four 2.5mm cap head bolts and remove the plastic axle cover. Remove the valve cap and let down the tyre.

03. Use the same wrench to remove the four short 2.5mm cap head bolts that hold the plastic fork trim to the metal forks.

04. Lifting the plastic trim away from the fork, use the 18mm open end of your spanner to loosen the wheel nut. It un-does in an anti-clockwise, lefty-loosey fashion but we had to use some WD40 (and let it soak for a few minutes) to get ours to move.

05. Slip the nut through the trim and slide it up the wire out of the way.

06. Use the pick to release the cable grommet on the frame, this will allow some more slack in the wire to give you more room to work.

07. Flip the scooter over and use the pick to remove the trim. Use your driver to remove the two 2.5mm cap bolts, the plastic trim and the four 2.5mm short cap bolts underneath.

08. Lifting the fork plastic you can use the ring end of your spanner (if it has one) to remove the 18mm wheel nut. Again rotate anti-clockwise to loosen and use WD40 or a penetration fluid to help.

09. Here is a reminder of what you have taken off this side and the tools required, note the keyed washer is still on the axle in this photo.

l0. Note the tabbed wheel washer, its orientation must be noted when re-inserting.

Taking the front tyre off

11. With the wheel wire-side-up (to avoid stressing it) insert your levers under the top wheel lip and rotate them over to release the bead. Work one of them around the rim lip to completely release one side.

12. Using your hands (or with some help from the levers) pull the tyre off of the rear of the wheel.

Changing the inner-tube

13. Take time to wiggle the valve out of the front wheel. This can be harder than you think but your patience will be rewarded. If the inner-tube is already compromised it can be quicker just to cut it away around the valve stem to remove it.

14. Re-inserting the new inner-tube can be a challenge of its own and was the most frustrating part of putting this guide together. Some lubrication can assist. The tolerances of the valve ‘window’ in the wheel can be incredibly tight. Many users have opened up the plastic ‘floating’ portion of this hole using a rotary tool to make life easier but we suggest avoiding such destructive actions if you can. Once the valve is through, cap it and spread the tube around the rim.

Refitting the front tyre

15. Working on a tyre that is slightly above room temperature (leave it by a radiator for some time prior) will make this job easier. Ensure you have the tyre orientated correctly when refitting. With the wheel motor-cable facing-up the tread should point ‘clockwise’ around the tyre. To get started, stand the wheel up, squeeze the tyre from the sides into an oval and press it over the top of the wheel passing the wheel through so the tyre is now hooked over the wire.

16. Use the lever to pop the rear (non-cable) side bead onto the lip. Take time to tuck the tube in, making sure it does not get pinched by the tyre bead on the rim lip.

17. A second pair of hands will help with the last part. As you lever the top side bead onto the lip you will find that the tyre tries to resist you, rotating and popping the previously seated rear off. Slip one side of the bead on and ask an assistant to hold the lever in place whilst you work around the wheel. It may take a few attempts but you will get there.

18. Replacement of the screws and trim is the reversal of removal. Tighten but do not over-torque the axle bolts, use hand tools only. Inflate the tyre and install the valve cap.

How can i avoid getting more punctures?

Watch where you ride! But seriously a common preventative step is to add ‘tyre slime’ tube sealant (before you have a puncture). This will fill out and reseal an inner tube should it get punctured. Beyond this, riding with the correct tyre pressures for passenger weight is important, as listed in our article here. Oh and of course don’t forget to inspect your tyres carefully for any ‘foreign bodies’ before fitting a new tube.

Do you sell spare tubes or tyres?

Yes we do. If you need any spares or accessories for your scooter check them out on our webstore. We don’t sell solid tyres as (at time of press) we don’t rate the solutions currently on the market.

Where can i get my puncture repaired?

Sadly we are currently unable to offer a tyre/puncture service for electric scooters. Your local bike shop may be willing to attempt the work if you show them what is involved with this article.

How to Replace Change to Solid Tire in Xiaomi M365 Electric Scooter Wh

Previous | Next

If you live in a place where your Xiaomi electric scooter is likely to get punctures very often, you may want to upgrade the wheels to solid tires. This is especially the case for those who live in rural areas or do not have tarmacked driveways or roads. Upgrading to a solid tire will save you a lot of energy and expensive tubes too.

Transitioning from inflatable tube tires to airless solid tires has its advantages and disadvantages;

Pros:

They do not get punctures. This is pretty much the only real advantage of solid tires.

Cons:

Your new solid tire for your electric scooter may have more or less rolling reluctance which means that your scooter will use more energy and battery power. The energy spending or conservation will largely depend on how well you fix the tire, and whether you have the right one for the job.

Solid tires may also be a little difficult to mount on the rim of the wheel since they can be too tight or loose. This, however, can be solved by softening it before fitting (this will be explained further in the fitting instructions). The Xiaomi electric scooter tire size is 8.5 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick.

Additionally, Xiaomi M365 electric scooters do not have shock absorbers. With the lack of its pneumatic tires, this means that the scooter may experience a lot of vibrations during the ride. The movements may loosen bolts and nuts which may cause parts and cables to loosen and fall apart in the future so pay attention and maintain your Xiaomi M365 scooter.

Here’s what you will need for the job:

  • 8.5-inch by 2-inch solid tire
  • Allen wrench
  • Razorblade
  • Flat blade screwdriver
  • 18mm wrench
  • Lubricant
  • Silicone paste

      Steps to follow:

      1. First, you have to remove the inflatable tire.
      • Cut around the red label and pull it off then loosen the two screws below it.
      • Remove the first plastic cover then loosen the other four small screws below it.
      • Turn the scooter over to the other side and repeat the process. You should now be left with one nut embedded deeply into the wheel under a plastic cover that is attached to the wheel support system.
      • Lift the cover slowly to avoid cracking it then loosen the nut below it using a wrench.
      • Remove the nut. The wheel is now loose enough to slide out easily. The motor cable is still attached (to the front wheel) so do not pull it off.

         

        1. Fitting in the solid tire
        • Add some lubricant on the rim of the wheel. This should manage the amount of friction that will be involved during the fitting.
        • You will need to soften the solid wheel before fitting it:
        • Boil some water to about 100ºC in a pot large enough to fit the tire.
        • Put it in (make sure that it is wholly immersed) then leave it for ten minutes.
        • As an alternative, you can heat the tire in a microwave for three minutes, checking it after every minute.
        • Once the wheel is soft enough, remove it and fit the rim into it. Let it cool for five minutes.
        • Fasten the nut and the other screws (while replacing the plastic cover) on both sides. This is basically the reverse of the initial process of removing the wheel. Also, make sure that you return the red labels.
        • Fill the hole on the wheel with some silicone to avoid entry of dust, stones or water. Your scooter is now ready to go!

        Caution

        Make sure that you purchase your Xiaomi electric scooter parts from a trusted distributor. This will minimize the chances of buying counterfeit or low-quality parts, spares, and tools.

        How to remove wheels on an electric scooter

        Wheels are an important part of an electric scooter. They determine the main technical characteristics of the device: the allowable user weight, terrain, maximum speed, etc. The diameter of the wheels is responsible for the cross-country ability and maneuverability of the vehicle, and their rigidity is responsible for traction with the road surface. Moreover, even such parts are not durable and need to be replaced or banal cleaning for better functioning. Next, we will look at how to remove the wheels on an electric scooter and in what cases this procedure is necessary.

        Changing wheels

        A regular or folding electric scooter requires regular diagnostics and troubleshooting. This applies not only to the controller, but also to other details. The procedure for changing wheels is really important. It is recommended that every owner of electric transport know about the sequence of actions in order to prevent adverse consequences.

        Whether it's an 8", 12" or any other diameter wheel, the replacement instructions are the same, so you don't need to look for additional information.

        How often and why is it necessary

        The need to change the wheel occurs in two situations :

        1. Malfunction due to mechanical damage.
        2. Inconsistency with driving style or road surface.

        Wrong or defective wheels make the scooter uncomfortable to use. In addition, they often cause falls.

        In most cases, users are unlucky with wide wheels, because such an electric scooter is more difficult to control.

        The owner of the device has to determine the frequency of wheel replacement independently. But it is important to learn a few points:

        1. In case of obvious mechanical damage, the procedure should be carried out immediately.
        2. When using an electric scooter on rubber wheels, you need to be ready to replace after 50-100 km of run , since scars quickly appear on such material, preventing free movement.
        3. Scheduled replacement can be done no more than once every two seasons.

        List of tools

        The procedure for changing a wheel is not too complicated, but one tool is not enough. You will first need to prepare:

        • stationery knife;
        • hexagons;
        • spanner 18;
        • pliers.

        The list of tools is the same, regardless of the diameter of the wheels and other parameters.

        Removing wheels on an electric scooter

        If you need to remove two wheels, do not rush. Although there are no particular difficulties in this process, the front and rear elements have some differences in their designs, and therefore each of them requires an “individual approach”. Consider the sequence of actions in the case of removing the front and rear wheels.

        The same instructions can be used for an electric scooter with cast wheels.

        Front wheel

        Removing the front wheel on an electric scooter is easy even for beginners. All the small elements that need to be removed are in prominent places, so you won’t need to look for them and perform complex manipulations.

        The electric scooter must be switched off before removing the wheel.

        Consider the removal process using the example of device Mijia Xiaomi M365 . The instructions here are:

        1. Remove the red stickers with a screwdriver or utility knife.
        2. Unscrew the screws under these stickers with a hexagon (the screws are quite tight, so pliers can be used as an assistant).
        3. Remove the trims together with the bolts (so as not to lose them).
        4. Remove 4 more screws using a hexagon.
        5. Loosen the nuts with a wrench.

        Rear wheel (motor-wheel)

        You can remove the rear wheel on an electric scooter according to the instructions above. Both wheels of the vehicle are mounted, removed and installed in the same way. This is done using the same tools.

        You don't need to be a high-class craftsman to remove the wheel motor. Here you will need to show your own accuracy and care. The user will not only have to follow the instructions in the process of unscrewing the rear wheel, but also monitor all the removed elements - nuts, screws, linings, etc. Having lost at least one detail, the device is not recommended to be used in the future without it.

        In the process of removing the motor-wheel, be aware of the wire attached to it, which is undesirable to damage, so you need to do it carefully.

        Removing the tire

        No tools are required to remove the tire. In this case, the user will only need their own hands and patience.

        You can remove the tire from the electric scooter as follows:

        1. Unscrew the nipple from the "nipple" of the camera to release air from it.
        2. Using both hands, "drown" the tire into the disc recess on one side and slide it off the disc on the opposite side.

        Removing the tube from the wheels

        It is possible to remove the tube from the electric scooter only after the wheels have been removed from the vehicle structure. This is necessary in cases of puncture or simple diagnosis.

        The sequence of actions for is:

        1. Remove the tire according to the instructions above.
        2. Knock out the "nipple" of the camera with a hammer.

        It is possible to replace the camera at home, but it is important to buy an element of the right size for installation in the wheel - for this it is recommended to take the damaged camera with you to the store and show it to the seller.

        Disassembly of wheels

        Repair work does not begin with the removal of the wheels, but with their disassembly. A correctly performed procedure will help to avoid the appearance of new breakdowns and quickly see the cause of an existing problem. At the same time, it will be easy for a user without skills to cope with both thick wheels and thin ones. The most important thing is to be careful, because small parts are easy to damage or lose.

        Dismantling the front wheel

        It is possible to dismantle the front wheel on an electric scooter in just 5 minutes. This is done as follows:

        1. Lower the chamber (to speed up the process, unscrew the spool ).
        2. Remove nuts and retainers on both sides.
        3. Loosen all screws with a screwdriver.
        4. Place the center of the wheel on the floor and press the tire with your hands.
        5. Remove covers.

        Rear wheel disassembly

        You can disassemble the rear wheel of the electric scooter according to the same instructions as for the front element. In such devices, they have the same size, and therefore it will not be difficult to cope with the task.

        Dismantling the motor wheel

        Some users mistakenly believe that only a real master can disassemble the motor wheel. In fact, you can do it yourself, following a strict sequence of actions. It does not matter where exactly the motor-wheel is located - in front or behind.

        Disassembly procedure :

        1. Unscrew the bolts (6 pieces on each side of the wheel) using a hexagon/screwdriver.
        2. Remove the cover on the opposite side of the power cable.
        3. Turn the wheel over and press on the tire until the stator pops out of the rotor.
        4. Knock out the bearings (if it does not work out by hand, you can use a screwdriver and a hammer, but this must be done carefully so that the element is not deformed).

        It is recommended to disassemble the motor-wheel when buying a used electric scooter to make sure that it works.

        Wheel repair

        Wheel repair can be done by yourself using tools that are available in many homes. The size of the element does not matter in this case. Wheels of 10, 6 or 8 inches are quite realistic to bring into working condition at home.

        When repairing the wheels of an electric scooter, experience in this area is desirable, but without it, it is also possible to achieve the desired result if you strictly follow the instructions in our article.

        Popular malfunctions and breakdowns

        Malfunctions can occur both in an electric scooter with large inflatable wheels and in children's vehicles. Consider the most common problems:

        1. Tire punctures and cuts . In this case, it is imperative to replace the tube, and it is also recommended to install a new tire, even if the damage is minor.
        2. Wheels stick when driving or do not turn at all . The reason for this failure is a damaged bearing. Here it is enough to check the element for contamination or mechanical damage. Kerosene will help clean the bearing from dirt and moisture. If the part is deformed, it must be replaced.
          After installing a working bearing, it must be treated with a special grease.
        3. Extraneous sounds in the wheels while driving . This situation occurs when rust appears on metal elements. To solve the problem, you will need to find areas with corrosion and try to eliminate rust. If success was not achieved, it is better to replace the wheel completely.

        Sometimes it happens that the electric scooter does not turn on at all. Then we advise you to read an article on this topic.

        Wheel inflation and pressure

        Most manufacturers of electric scooters include compact pumps with their devices, with which it is possible to inflate the wheel at any time.

        The recommended tire pressure for electric vehicles depends on the user's weight. Values ​​should be as follows :

        • when weight up to 70 kg: front wheel 35-40 psi, rear wheel 40-50 psi;
        • up to 90 kg: front - 40-45 psi, rear - 45-55 psi;
        • up to 100 kg: front - 45-50 psi, rear - 50-60 psi;
        • over 100 kg: front - 55-60 psi, rear - 60-65 psi.

        These pressures make the wheels more resistant to punctures and other damage.

        Tips for preventing wheel punctures

        Avoiding punctures is very problematic, whether it is an adult electric scooter with large wheels or a children's model. But if you listen to the advice, it is still possible to prevent undesirable consequences. It is important to remember the following points:

        1. Do not apply the brake abruptly, especially when driving at high speed.
        2. Avoid sharp objects on the road.
        3. Use anti-puncture tape (inserted between inner tube and tire).
        4. Regularly check the tightness of the wheel fastenings and connections.
        5. Take care of the machine in general and the wheels in particular.
        6. Do not overload electric vehicles.
        7. Avoid over-inflating the tire with air.
        8. Check the condition of all wheel components when purchasing a used electric scooter.
