A flat tire on an electric scooter can stop the fun your kids are having by riding it. However, you can bring the fun back by simply replacing the tube or the wheel. In this article, we are discussing how to fix a flat tire on Razor Electric Scooter E100 and E300.
II. Tips before you attempt disassembling anythingStep 1. Use two 5 mm Allen keys, loosen the axle bolt, and take out the front wheel. Place the fasteners safely.

Step 2. To take out the tube, you have to disassemble the hub. The hub has two parts (upper and lower) fastened together by 4 screws.
Remove the screws and take out the hub. Take out the old tube and examine the tire for the source of puncture and remove it.
Push the new tube into the tire, inflate a little and ensure the tube is completely inside the tire. Assemble the hub and mind the location of the valve stem. Tighten the screws.
Inflate the tire to the correct pressure and assemble the wheel onto the scooter. Now you are ready for a test ride.
Note: If the tire is damaged, it is better to replace the complete wheel.
Rear wheelThe rear wheel of Razor E100 is made of Urethane and there is no tube. If there is damage to the rear wheel, the whole rear wheel with the hub motor must be replaced. You can take out the wheel by following the steps below:
Step 1. Remove the deck plate and battery strap. Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the six screws on the deck plate and take it out. The screws may be of different sizes, so keep them in order.
Using the same Philips screwdriver, remove the two screws and take out the battery strap. Keep the screws in order.
Step 2. Disconnect the battery from the control module and take out the battery with due care. Disconnect the motor wire connection with the control module.
Using a pointed rod, depress the connector tabs and remove the wire from the connector. Pull the wire out of the battery space.
Step 3. Use a Philips screwdriver and remove the three screws that have fastened the motor housing to the left side frame.
Step 4. Use a 13 mm size wrench and loosen the locknut on the outer right side frame. Take the help of another wrench to prevent the rotation of the inside locknut.
Now you can take out the damaged rear wheel with the hub motor and replace it with a new rear wheel with a hub motor. Take the reverse steps and reassemble. Make use of the photos you took before disassembling.

Step 1. Use two 17 mm wrenches to loosen and take out the lock nut, 2×washers, and spacer from the left and right side. Take out the wheel and the front axle bolt. Keep the fasteners safely in order.
Step 2. Unfasten the four screws using a Philips screwdriver and disassemble the hub upper and lower parts. Take out the old tube, examine the inner tire surface for pin or nail, remove it, and fit the tube into the tire.
You can inflate the tube a bit and it goes inside. Ensure the tube is not projecting out of the tire and assemble the hub. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure.
Assemble the wheel back and refer to the photos you have taken for reference.
Note: If the tire is damaged, it is better to replace the complete wheel.
Step 1. Use a Philips screwdriver and take out the chain guard. Keep the two screws safely.
Step 2. Use an Allen wrench and detach the brake cable from the brake.
Step 3. Use two 8 mm wrenches and loosen the brake housing anchor and disconnect it from the wheel. Keep the fasteners together.
Step 4. Use a 10 mm wrench and loosen the two numbers of axle adjuster screws (counterclockwise) equally by 5 turns.
Step 5. Use two 17 mm wrenches to loosen the axle, slide the wheel forward and loosen the chain. Remove the wheel, disassemble the axle and the fasteners and keep the axle and fasteners in order.
Step 6. Remove the brake drum by turning it counterclockwise. You can use a screwdriver, a small hammer, and use the hole on the brake drum to hammer it counterclockwise. Remove the brake drum, disassemble the hub by unfastening the 4 screws.
Take out the tube. Examine the tire for pins or nails. Push the tube inside the tire properly and you can inflate it a bit to ensure it is completely inside. Assemble the hub and brake drum (mind the location of valve stem). Inflate the tire to the correct pressure.
Assemble back the wheel by referring to the photos. Test ride.
Note: If the tire is damaged, it is better to replace both tire and tube.

Align the opening in the sprocket with the valve stem. Thread the valve extender completely onto the valve stem and attach the pump. Inflate to the PSI indicated on the tire sidewall. immediately after inflating and close the round cover.
Finding the Correct Air Pressure If you have the original scooter tires on your machine, you’ll be able to find the proper tire pressure from the owner’s manual.
Although it will vary from make to make, it should be approximately 18-24 pounds per square inch for the front tire, and 28-36 psi for the rear tire.
Yes, electric scooter tires worns out. Depending on the type of tire, you need to change them every 2,000-3,000 miles.

Whilst screwing it on you may hear a hiss as some air escapes but as you tighten the adaptor down, this will stop. Inflate your tyre to slightly above the target pressure (to mitigate the slight air release when removing the adaptor) before unscrewing from the valve as promptly as possible.

Razor A5 Air: scooter with inflatable wheels
04/06/2017
In Russia, off-road transport has always been very relevant: it is not always clear with us whether the road is ahead or not, the direction. Accordingly, the novelty of 2017 from Razor - a folding off-road scooter - will take root in Russia!
Our newcomer boasts large inflatable wheels and features like this:
| Rider age: | From 7 years old |
| Rider height: | From 100 to 200 cm, for children and adults |
| Load capacity: | Up to 100 kg |
| Scooter weight: | 5 kg |
| Wheels: | 200 mm, road tires, 4 bar |
| Clearance | >3. 5 cm |
Judging by this plate, the model looks like a real savior angel! Lightweight, comfortable and with inflatable wheels - definitely a cool choice for Russian roads. But, let's take a closer look at the newcomer.
In fact, this is the same super popular A5 Lux – the scooter that conquered the world. It's just that now it has received several significant upgrades and changes. Let's go details:
It's good that now the Americans have dealt with it; On this, the differences, in general, end: otherwise, we have a well-known A5 Lux. And it's wonderful!
First of all, of course, to the wheels. They are moderately wide, with a pronounced tread - they look quite tenacious. Most likely, the scooter will still fall into wet sand or a serious abyss, but a beginner should cope with country roads and dirt roads without problems.
Next: handles.
We conscientiously twisted them in different directions, and then gave the scooter a good knock on the floor - no characteristic clang was heard. On A5 Lux, he also did not always appear immediately, but so far everything looks as if Razor really solved this problem.
The next object of attention is the folding mechanism. It has one additional screw, on the rider side: a small valve. Twist it, and the backlash disappears. This thing works! It spins, by the way, quite easily and naturally, and the child can handle it.
Otherwise, the inspection turned out to be absolutely boring and uninteresting: the usual impeccable Razor, there is nothing to complain about. A metal frame, a tight-fitting fender brake, non-slip grips, an abrasive deck pad ... We have already seen all this in the A5 line, and we are happy with all this, but changes are interesting, not the usual solutions. Test drive time!
Fun fact: The Razor A5 Air is the first American scooter that we couldn't ride out of the box.
First, I had to pump up the wheels - they were not deflated, but there were clearly no 4 atmospheres there either.
We didn't even want to test the Air on ordinary asphalt, but we did it. They noted the expectedly reduced roll, a drop in speed - the usual symptoms for the transition to "pneumatics". In general, when compared with the A5 Lux, the model has become more calm: it accelerates very smoothly, smoothly enters turns, smoothly exits them ... It only slows down sharply: the wing brake, as usual, works out very hard, short black stripes remain on the pavement.
Briefly reporting on the asphalt and putting a tick for patience, they rushed to the pavement. We decided to skip paving slabs for the time being - we will return to it later. And the impressions from the paving stones are extremely positive: he just swallows it! If on the A5 Lux it shakes so that the teeth clang, then on the Air it feels closer to a sea cruise: it gently shakes up and down. We were waiting for the Razor inflatable wheel scooter to be good, but it's one thing to just wait and another to try.
Really shook only on the gentle stairs, but it's more like a category of "stunts" than regular skating. The handles, by the way, did not rattle, there was no steering play - the flight was normal. In general, the scooter goes absolutely silently, only the tires rustle.
The only thing to note: the clearance has not increased, but even decreased by half a centimeter! A5 - even with the Air prefix - is still not designed for storming holes and speed bumps, and even less so for jumping over curbs. Be careful.
Having quickly swept across the paving slabs (it even stopped rocking), we are in a hurry to off-road. We did not expect special miracles on rough terrain, but still. And for starters - wet gravel.
Riding has become noticeably more difficult, you have to push off much more often, but the scooter still treats the road with amazing indifference. Gravel? Let's go gravel! The situation was more complicated with sand: you can ride, but it requires serious effort.
Plus, we got stuck a couple of times.
After returning to the usual country road (well-packed earth, mud in places), the process returned to its usual course. To be honest, it was on a country road that the difference with the city was generally minimal - the impressions are the same as from paving slabs.
The scooter has a 7-year limit, but in fact a five-year-old fidget can handle it. The steering wheel is only a centimeter higher than that of the classic A5, the clearance is even lower - the child quickly masters. But... We still do not recommend Air for children.
This model is too quiet, it is focused on getting from point A to point B with maximum comfort. Young riders prefer speed, then jumps and tricks are added to the speed ... The A5 Air is not designed for this.
If you take it for yourself, it is quite possible to let a child ride, but if you choose a scooter specifically for a child, there are more suitable models.
Driving on paving stones and tiles, gravel and earth left a strictly positive impression. At the same time, the scooter remained compact, you can easily take it with you anywhere, and we didn’t notice the “extra kilogram” at all. If you like to ride in silence and comfort, if you constantly have to ride on difficult roads, A5 Air is exactly what you need!

Hello everyone! In this article, we will tell you how to pump up a wheel on a bicycle. We'll give beginners tips on getting the right tire pressure, talk about different pumps, and cover all the challenges you might run into. Go!
First, let's look at tire pressure, because a lot depends on it, for example:
Bicycle manufacturers usually list the optimum bead pressure range, which can vary greatly depending on wheel width.
For example, for fat bikes, the optimal pressure is from 0.5 to 2 atmospheres, for mountain bikes from 2 to 4 atmospheres. Well, for road models, suitable pressure ranges from 5 to 8 atmospheres.
Based on this, it can be concluded that the minimum pressure is used where it is necessary to ensure good grip on uneven surfaces. Well, the maximum pressure increases the roll on a flat surface. Therefore, we recommend that you inflate the wheels according to how you plan to ride. If you don't have a particular preference, inflate at a medium setting for good rolling and traction.
The weight of the cyclist should also be taken into account - if you weigh little, then it is better to choose a pressure closer to the minimum, and vice versa.
There are three standards of nipples used on modern bicycles. This is:
Schroeder is the best known type of nipple, which is also used in cars.
Therefore, you will meet him on most bikes.
Presta is a thin nipple often referred to as a French nipple. These nipples are most commonly found on high-end bikes. As for the Dunlop standard nipples, they are very rare.
Some may think that each nipple requires a special pump. But this is not so - it is enough to purchase a regular car pump and an adapter for your type of nipple.
If you don't have a car pump, you can purchase a bicycle pump. Most of the models on sale are universal, and support all nipple standards at once. Bicycle pumps are:
Compact pumps pump the wheels for a long time, but they take up little space. They can be mounted directly on the frame, and always carry with you, which is very convenient.
Floor pumps are more comfortable to use as they blow in more air with one push. In addition, they are equipped with a pressure gauge that allows you to control tire pressure.
