Assessing Scooter Tires for Damage, Wear, Punctures , or Balding

You must inspect your tires before EVERY RIDE. Inspect the contact patch first, which is the surface that the scooter rides on when upright. Tires and tubes will be the simplest because the tire has the size on the sidewall. Solid rubber tires are usually 6", and the Razor Scooter wheels, or the Urethane wheel, is generally 100mm, and comes with all neccessary hardware.The common signs of wear are, punctures, slits, dry cracking, bald spots or patches, and flat or low tire pressure. There are many possibilities and sometimes they are not even visible with the eye, so be alert and aware when riding. Sometimes repairing a tire will do, and other times a full replacement will be required. This is your call. If the damage is too extensive then you will probably need to replace the damaged part.

Changing a Pneumatic Tire with Tubes, and Multi-Piece-Rims

The most involved scooter tire to change is the Pneumatic style, as the whole wheel  comes off and is taken apart. The wheel unbolts and splits into two pieces.  Some  Disk brake equipped scooters will need to be taken apart since the Disk Brake Rotor is part of the wheel assembly. The actual work is very simple, but the process is very involved and lengthy.

Changing a Solid Rubber Tire and Plastic Hub Assembly

Usualy found on Go-Ped Scooters, solid rubber tires with plastic rims/hubs are very easy to replace. If your old tire is in need of replacement, you can simply cut it off with a knife or scissors, and throw away the damaged tire. Put the new tire on the a hard, flat surface, and put the hub in the middle of the tire and step on the rim. The rim will sink into the Solid Rubber Tire and you are ready to ride after you install the newly repaired wheel.

Changing out a One Piece Urethane Wheel

The one piece wheel is usually made of a urethane tire, and a plastic hub, and (commonly found on razor push scooters) is the easiest to change because you just replace the entire wheel. The replacement wheels are sold in sets, usually, and have all neccessary hardware to complete your wheel replacement. You  just take the old wheel off and replace with the new complete wheel.
