Tires for electric scooters and bikes

The lack of timely and adequate maintenance of an electric scooter leads to inconvenience in handling, low performance, and reduced range. Do not neglect the care of your vehicle to get the most out of every component that may require repair and replacement in the future.

How to choose the right tire size for my scooter?

Choosing the correct size is essential when a replacement is needed. Here’s what to consider:

• Determine the current tire size – check the sidewall of your existing tires, where a combination of numbers is usually displayed, such as “10×2.5” or “8×2.” The first number indicates the diameter, while the second shows the width. Be sure to check both the front and rear wheels, as they may have different sizes and valve angles.
• Select the same diameter – once you identify the diameter, write it down and look for the same when making a new purchase. This crucial parameter affects the stability and handling of the electric scooter.
• Choose the appropriate width – the wider the tires, the better the grip and stability.
• Model – this is a key parameter for driving on different surfaces. For example, smooth or nearly smooth tires are recommended for urban riding on asphalt. If you frequently ride on uneven or off-road paths, the best choice is an off-road model with deeper treads.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations – you can never go wrong by seeking guidance directly from the manufacturer.

The market offers models in various diameters, designs, and widths, which may be confusing. However, if you are unsure, you can always turn to the Go E-Motion team for assistance.

How to maintain them for long-lasting use?

Tires are one of the most important components of an electric scooter, along with the battery. The longer you preserve them, the fewer costs you will have for repairs or replacements.

Here are the key aspects of extending the lifespan of your electric scooter’s tires:

Proper Tire Pressure

Optimal pressure levels vary depending on the scooter model and tire type, usually ranging from 35-45 psi (2.40 – 3.00 atm). The rider’s weight is also a crucial factor – lighter riders should maintain a pressure of around 36-37 psi, while heavier riders should keep it above 40-42 psi. For those over 100 kg, the front tires should be inflated to 50-55 psi. Ride carefully, as there is a risk of blowouts.

Lower tire pressure can lead to:

• Lower speed
• Faster battery drain
• Higher risk of rim damage

Higher tire pressure can result in:

• Increased risk of blowouts while riding
• A harder riding experience
• Reduced traction, increasing the risk of slipping while turning

Additionally, consider weather conditions – external temperature matters when inflating your tires. While riding, friction increases tire pressure, so set appropriate levels to prevent excessive inflation on hot days.

Regularly check tire pressure—it takes minimal time. You can do this for free at Go E-Motion. Proper pressure maintenance affects tire lifespan, handling, range, and braking.

Regular Inspection of Front and Rear Tires

What does an inspection include? Checking for punctures, holes, or excessive wear. If you notice any issues, seek assistance or fix them yourself if you have the necessary skills. Do not delay repairs or replacements, as poor tire condition poses a safety risk.

Even Weight Distribution

Try to maintain a position that evenly distributes your weight on the wheels. Uneven weight can cause deformation and faster wear.

Avoid Riding Over Sharp Objects

Stick to smooth roads free of glass, protruding sharp objects, or metal debris. Always be aware of such obstacles and avoid them whenever possible.

Regular Cleaning

Basic cleaning involves removing mud, dust, leaves, and other debris. Regular cleaning ensures good traction and extends tire life.

Proper Storage

Before purchasing an electric scooter, consider where you will store it. Choose a dry and covered location, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Following these tips will ensure optimal care for your scooter’s tires, ultimately extending the scooter’s lifespan. Regular maintenance saves time and reduces repair and replacement costs—not only for the tires but for various other parts and accessories as well.
