Honeycomb Tire Installation for VSETT 9 and 9+

[@gamerwithgiantbrain160]

This saved my vsett 9+, tubes kept popping including the warranty replacements. They’re a bit difficult to install but so worth it, i have had no tire slip or wobble after installing with these instructions, thank you!

[@FalconpevSg]

Do share any more experiences you have when installing the tires:) make a video and it will be very useful to others.

[@Chocolatesideup]

Where did you buy them? I'm in Europe, where parts are generally more difficult to obtain.

[@Chocolatesideup]

By the way, I pop inneg tires every 2 weeks 😢 and I'm only 70kg

[@FalconpevSg]

@@Chocolatesideup yes you should try these honeycomb tires then, you will enjoy a puncture free ride

[@Damadoore]

having the exact same problem here i went not 10 yards this morning and boomf second flat on my Vsett9 the problem is there's hardly no where in the UK that sells the Vsett9 let alone the solid tires.... total nightmare and please try to ignore all these people saying tube slime or yogurt slime for to prevent flats in your tires.... Honestly it's a waste of money, time, hope and effort I slimed both sets of my tires everytime and still always get a flat.

[@MrDLYouTube]

You guys are awesome. Seriously. You've been so polite and helpful via email it's unbelievable. I was sure you would block me because of my stupid questions. :) Keep up the fantastic work, the PEV community is so much better with you guys in it helping us out and the solutions you have!

thank you for the support!

thanks so much for the understanding of the right tire direction and installment of the solid rubber tire

[@FalconpevSg]

Glad we could help improve your ride experience

[@grazz7865]

VERY INFORMATIVE video. Now I can buy the scooter that I really want and just change the tires over to solid at the first flat. Before I was limiting myself to only scooters with solid tires and some of those manufacturers have switched over to air tires.

[@BmcmediaRo]

Are there any tiers for Vsett that makes 10 inch from 8.5 wheel? Similar to Xiaomy M365 has...

[@chrisk853]

Great video, that would of taken forever to figure out. The only thing I would add would be a side by side with a fully seated pneumatic tire.

[@FalconpevSg]

Great! Glad it helped you.

[@happyhusband312]

switched from Vsett8 to Vsett9 just to get the normal tires ;) Comfort is much better. The modification i would like is to have hydraulic or drum brakes. Tires can be slimed, but rotor maintenance is tiring.

[@FalconpevSg]

Hydraulics is possible too

[@happyhusband312]

@@FalconpevSg user acidkhmer commenting on your video "How to: Install ZERO 9 Front Hydraulic Brake" was trying to do this, not sure if he succeeded! i'd love any other brakes other than Zoom 160 which push the disc from one side only, warping it quickly.. unluckily Vsett 9 has brakes on the wrong side, so it cannot accomodate semihydraulics.

[@BL_Denni]

How is the ride and traction on those compared to the tube and air tires. Thanks

[@FalconpevSg]

we added extra threads and grooves but it will never be as good as air tires admittedly. its good enough for regular use.

[@timurabdibekov11]

On your website there are 2 options: with or without installation. Could you explain what does it mean?

[@LastKnight41]

Is it correct that these tires fit on the Vsett 9, Zero 9 and Techlife X6? I have the Techlife X6 and it's supposed to have exactly the same parts as the Zero 🤔

[@sandrovieira5772]

Would you guys recommend to use only one Solid Tire in the back? Already had 3 flat tires in 6 months

[@FalconpevSg]

Yes if you use it for front and back it will cause too much vibration. So we recommend it mostly for the tire that punctures most.

[@Bemx2k]

Great , I think most of 8,5'' - 9'' and 10'' Tire should be solid one

[@grazz7865]

Exactly. The tires are too small and too easy to get flats. Plus I usually ride on the shoulder-where all the glass, screws and debris end up

[@buzzerbeaterjoe127]

Hey I been getting so many flats on my Vsett 9+ I wanna order some solid tires. Will these tires work on my vsett 9+ ?

[@FalconpevSg]

Yes it will

[@FalconpevSg]

we are here to help...can u send us a video to our email?

[@grazz7865]

Definitely should not be that tight. Once it’s gets too tight, use the Allen key to stretch the tire over the rim.

[@alexszabo6187]

Where did you buyed that tire and what is the size of it?

[@Myjewelleruk]

Can you do a video on an Axle change. The thread in my rear axle has been ripped so I need to change it..

[@JohnJohn-os6cq]

Can I have solid honey comb tires on a 10plus?

[@FalconpevSg]

Not recommended

[@JoshStaffordD]

This tire does not fit my Zero 9. The width of the interior of the tire is 132mm and my rim is 145mm. In the video, it slips right on, in reality, 2 grown men could not get it to squeeze on. Using a screw driver and slipping it over the edge and then using the guide screws to squeeze it on only caused the guide screws to bend and eventually shear off. I do not know if I have an especially large Zero 9 or the tires I got were especially small, but I will be attempting to return them.

[@FalconpevSg]

The reason why the honeycomb tire is made smaller than the actual rim is because at high speeds, it will slip out of the rim if it’s not extremely tight. We will do a video to show you that it fits a zero 9 rim. It takes the right tools and some effort.

[@JoshStaffordD]

@@FalconpevSg I look forward to it.

[@SeanMackesey]

I purchased the 8.5" x 2.6" for the rear wheel of my VSett 9+ and cannot for the life of me get the thing on. I can get the guide screws in and tightened, but I am completely stuck at the step where you flip and "lift" the tire onto the motor-side rim (using Allen wrench as lever in this video). The problem appears to be that the tire is just too small for the rim. The inner diameter of the tire is a few mm smaller than the inner diameter of the rim. So when I tighten the guide screws, the inner part of the rim just presses into the inner (ridged) part of the tire, it doesn't press through. There is only a few mm of inner tire material blocking the rim, and it seems like with some kind of industrial tool it might be possible to stretch the tire enough to get it over the rim edge, at which point I'd be able to screw much more easily. But I have been totally unable to get the tire over the rim edge manually, with either the technique shown in this video (using an Allen key as a lever in the honeycomb holes) or with tire irons. The amount of effort I'm putting in doesn't seem to match what's in this video. In this video, initial guide screw step the rim gets significantly further into the tire then I'm able to get it, and then in the "flip-and-lift" step, the tire seems to slide pretty easily onto the rim, where I can't get it to budge. I'm wondering whether there is maybe some subtle parts mismatch? I bought my VSett 9+ new in the US from Alien Rides (alienrides.com/). I assumed it was identical to the VSett 9+ that Falcon PEV sells, but perhaps I'm wrong? Is there some subtle difference in stock rim sizes between different batches of VSett 9+ sold in different countries?

[@FalconpevSg]

No differences in rim size so they should be the same across the board. Yes the tire will be difficult to lift, but use a longer Allen key to leverage it over the rim. That’s the essential step. As to why the tire is made smaller than the rim is by design. At high speeds and heat from the motor causes the tire to expand, a nicely fit tire will run off the rims easily. A tightly fit tire will not.

[@SeanMackesey]

@@FalconpevSg Thanks for the pointer-- I managed to succeed by using a larger Allen key as a lever. Can't stress how important it is to use a large enough key in this step, it makes it *much* easier!

[@FalconpevSg]

@@SeanMackesey thanks for the feedback!

[@kevinhuynh8455]

@@SeanMackesey man I feel like I’m using a larger one and I still can’t get the tire onto the rim part any other advice?

[@SeanMackesey]

@@kevinhuynh8455 I left it partially done for a while (maybe even before I had lifted any of the tire on) and I think that helped, it might've stretched out the tire a bit.

[@Dave-ui6xn]

I've been trying to get the tire on for 10 hours. If the allen key is essential then you should have included one in the kit. My tire dies not just pop on to the rim like you show in the video. It's way too small and takes 2 of us just to barley get it lined up with the screw holes.

[@FalconpevSg]

Which part are you stuck at? Maybe we can do a video to help you

[@gamerwithgiantbrain160]

Use a big Allen key to pry the tire over the hub side rim and make sure you put down a cloth to void scratching the rim. It may seem impossible but it just takes a long time of prying and tightening

[@JoannaMSit]

We have the VSETT9+ at home and it has been a major disappointment. The amount of times we have gotten flats can be counted on one hand… EVERY MONTH! Tried every kind of tire option. Even changing out the wheels is a horrendous process that was clearly not tested properly. Unless you are skilled with repairs of this type you are out of luck because you will not be able to change it. I wish there was a way to return this thing or swap it out. At this point it is nearly unusable because you can pretty much guarantee you will get stranded somewhere. Or maybe we just got a bad one out of the batch…

[@FalconpevSg]

Hi Joanna we believe it could be a bad batch the problems don’t occur as much in our recent batches

[@Aj-nzkiwi]

It's not hard to change a tube lol

[@gameredits2.0]

Please polite question what is the best tyre for vsett 9+ thanks.
