That's actually my 60v 10X scooter. I recognize it from the scratches on the front right fork and T bar on the handlebars. They had possession of it on the day of this video. I had sent it back to them under warrantee. Had some controller issues they needed to diagnose. They asked me if I wanted to replace the tires with some fatter ones. I agreed since my tires were bold. I had a flat in the rear so that's why I put slime in it. I'm happy they replaced the rear tube and didn't reuse it. I got it shipped back to me just a few days ago and the fat street tires are great. They have much better cornering grip. I definitely recommend them over the stock ones. Somehow I got it back with missing rear fender though. I wonder what happened to it since he didn't take it off. They're shipping me a new one.

[@Clipper_Dames]

That's a great mystery, I need to know the fate of the mysteriously disappearing fender lol

I've gotten my first puncture. More of a hard impact burst to the inner tube. Riding over uneven terrain. I have the same zero as in the video. It looks a lot easier than I imagined. Might get the semi offroad tyre to replace it. I'm around the 850km mark and couldn't be happier with it. Got it the beginning of June, not so warm now in the UK so doubt I'll use it so much.

[@thousandyearsofoppression7760]

Great video, thanks for the time and effort to put this together. You described the wrong motors though, the first one is the 1000W, and the 2nd one is the 1200W. Just FYI for all the ppl at home. 1200W is annoying because when you split the rim, the tyre is on the inside of the motor.

[@jamalfadesemall9275]

My new street tires just arrived can't wait to install them. They arrived quickly from Rev Rides as well. Great Customer Service and efficient shipping speed. I have one question though, what is the name of that T shaped Allen tool you are using in the video to remove the split rim.

[@Kupe241]

[@basincut100]

I use one of the polystyrene blocks that was used for packing inside the original box that the scooter came in. There’s even spaces on one side that can accommodate the axels. The blocks easily hold the weight and won’t damage the paintwork. They’re also super light so easy to put somewhere when you’re not using them. Don’t chuck ‘em away they’re very useful.

Tubeless isn't a good idea on a split rim design like the 10X. It will be very difficult to seal the air properly.

[@roajah]

Very helpful. I have a question tho, after you inflate the tire does it wobble when spinning? I have a new vsett 9+ and the rear tire has a slight wobble which makes the scooter vibrate at faster speed and is felt the most on smooth surfaces. How can I propperly align the tire to the rim to calibrate it?

[@RevRides360]

We recommend deflating the tire to about 15 psi then ride slowly for about 1000ft then re inflate the tire

[@krrhys]

About to buy the 10x and have been offered the all terrain tyres free of charge fitted to the scooter. About 70% of the time I’ll be riding on the road and the other 30% off road, are the all terrain the best tyres to go for? Also, I’ve read the 10x has a problem with the electric controller deep inside the scooter which heats up and eventually breaks, would love to know if this is common and how to avoid it if possible? Last question is with the tyre wobble at high speeds and the need to buy a dampener kit, is this easy to attach as I’m tech illiterate and could fuck up toasting bread if let near the toaster!

Hi guys! Thanks for the great video!. You apply 40 ft-lb (54,2 Nw-m) on the tire axle nuts...Is that torque ok for zero 8x as well? Where could we find torque numbers for several nuts on the 10x/8x? Mainly brake disc screws/ motor hub cover, but also Torque on the suspension nuts (swing arm)? Thank you so much :)

[@RevRides360]

Hey Jordi, the axle on the 8X is smaller. We typically apply 35 ft-lb to the 8X axle and swing arm nuts. The disc rotor screws are torqued to 6-nm, and we highly recommend a medium strength threadlocker. At this time there is not a torque spec guide from ZERO for their models.

I was told by Revrides that they wouldn't but falconPEV that all three will, but that you need to get a different rear fender since it isn't wide enough to accommodate any of the hybrid/wide/ off-road tires. I'm interested in the wide or hybrid as well for the rear just to give better traction since the stock ones aren't that great. If you check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmG4loWhfMdrbZY he's got the hybrid on his zero10....so they must work.

Those punctures, looked to be right on the inside seam where the two wheel halves join. On a bicycle wheel, there'd be a tape ring protecting the tube from wearing on the spokes.

[@RevRides360]

Hey John, these punctures were on the outside orientation, and there was debris that had punctured the tire and tube in this case. We do not see tubes needing repair because of the inside seam with proper installation, and do not believe this to be an issue in this design.
