How to change a flat tire or tube on an electric bike with hub motor

www.electricavenuescooters.com... - 512-608-4090
A public service announcement from Electric Avenue Scooters in Austin, Texas describing how to change a flat tire or tube on an electric bike with a hub motor in its wheel. Shown here is an X-treme electric bike, but the details and precautions described also apply to many other electric bikes with a hub motor like A2B electric bikes, Felt electric bikes, Magnum electric bikes, e-bike conversion kits, and other mid- to low-priced electric bikes of differing quality.

Couldn’t see a thing when you was removing the brake disc, so I missed which screws to remove, the only thing I needed to know and the most important part.

[@manscape777]

Mark, Please remember to eliminate background ambient sounds before making a video from .4:29 We can't hear your voice due to industrial noise. Thanks.🚴

[@DavidShinabarger]

Skipped past the most important part of the video where the wheel is actually removed lol

[@insertnamehere786]

What a stupid video pointless If you don't show the main bit 🤦

[@SSMLivingPictures]

Yah, I had the same complaint

[@dogwitdog]

Did you check the outer tyre to see if there was a nail in it? If not you may be changing the tube again….

[@cookeemonstar6386]

This is my bike being worked on in the video lol

[@johndavies9641]

CookeeMonstar you need to put some air in the tube before putting the tube in the tyre

[@LordTylere]

Prove it

[@iqbalchowdhury2671]

Thank u so much bless u my brother 🤗

[@ACLTony]

Very good, step-by-step tutorial! Thanks!

[@SSMLivingPictures]

Why didnt you include taking the tire off the rim? Thats literally the hardest part

[@seanhoffman271]

*Works great my **Latest.Bike** I have a bad knee so I still get exercise but the bike assists me. I am a big guy so I didn’t think it would go as fast but it works great.*

[@ggolds5]

Skipping past the entire part of how to take the wheel AND tire off makes this video frustrating and only partially useful. Thank you for what you did show, but it's incomplete.

[@kleenmary7060]

Newbie here. I was so happy to see this video pop up. And then you left me hanging. It is useless to do a how to video if you are going to remove the caliper without a close up, then cut to a shot with the tire already removed. You are not making this for us newbies. You made this for someone already knowing how to change a bike tire. Gave it a thumbs down in frustration.

[@olddirtybasta2458]

All they did between those clips was lift the tire out of the grooves, ur so dumb shut up

[@Harshfellow]

How did you remove the wheel

[@barrya3302]

Fixed many flats and have never had to remove the brake caliper! You are just setting up other problems. The loosened wheel will just drop out and easily go back in.

[@jrntucson]

Thanks for the video. I suggest inflating tube after installing to get the wrinkles out, then deflating, install the core and inflate. Also install a piece of bent cardboard in the brake caliper to keep it from closing!

[@Flwrfce]

Good tip.

[@user-tn7yd6bo7o]

Why can I not tighten up the hub on the power side of the hub after I change the tube, when I do the hub will not turn?

[@sunfirefilms]

Hey guys. There doesn't seem to be a plug in my bike. The wire seems to go straight to the battery pack. I'm in the process of opening up the back but the screws are stripped. Any suggestions?

[@drrobotnikmeanbeanma]

Is there a place where i can send my ebike rear wheel to be rewired ? The wires is in the Axle and the Axle is broke but the but the bike still rides smooth but just not the electric ??

[@taltalifa]

Thank you! you helped me alot guys/

[@electricavenue2204]

You're welcome! So glad that we could help!

[@ya-man2916]

Good advice. But PLEASE when shooting video with a phone: ALWAYS USE THE PHONE HORIZONTALLY!

[@SusannMays]

What if you have a cable that goes into back wheel where bolt is.....I can't find any plug to disconnect from motor?

[@theeasybeats5913]

I have the same problem

[@sheilaghvanbelthowing9544]

I just wanted to say thank you. The manual that came with the ebike did not show this.

[@electricavenue2204]

We are more than happy that this was able to help you! If there's ever anything else you need help with just let us know and maybe we'll post a video about it to help others as well!

[@eliallen1334]

I live in Austin TX how much would i cost to bring my ebike up there

[@stevecosta5331]

How do you get the chain assembly of without screwing it up you skipped that part so this video is useles

[@ronaldflorio6372]

WHY would you skip the removal process???? WHY????

[@Inmate533]

Make sure to remove the battery first before doing any maintenance to an ebike.

[@vandalsavage6152]

Nice video. While I understand removal of the wheel for inner tube replacement, why would you remove the wheel to repair a puncture?

[@slimyzombie]

Please help i think ive been doing dumb shit my whole life.. YOU CAN PATCH A BIKE TIRE WITHOUT REMOVING THE WHEEL?!!!! How🤦🏻🤦🏻?!!

[@hasan_z]

@@slimyzombie just use a tyre lever to pop the tyre off the rim. If possible, patch the tube in situ. Obviously it's still trapped within the frame of the bike. I think it helps to inflate the repaired tube a little to put the tyre back on (it also checks to see if the repair holds up). If you need to change inner tube you will need to remove the wheel from the bike

[@TheFreshPeddler]

@taotli - with a bike its easy to patch wheel on or swap tubes and patch at home. ebike its def more tedious with the cables and clips/snapties etc. to patch wheel on just get the tire off the rim on one side, feel for thorns etc in tire, use saliva to find/test holes in tube then patch.

[@baultourist2966]

THANKS from INDIA

[@wmpuig]

The bike shown in the video is the one I own, an Extreme Scooters XB300-Li Trail Maker. The video covers the process well, and gave me the info I needed to change both tires on my bike in a little over an hour ... saving me about $100 of fees from the bike shop (not mention the two weeks' wait I'd have had to get the bike back). THANK YOU!

[@wmpuig]

One point I forgot to mention, and that others might want to keep in mind ... changing the rear tire on your bike often will require touch-up retuning of your derailleur. When I changed my rear tire it caused me to lose the ability to shift into first gear. The retuning process is easy - it took just a few minutes with a Phillips screwdriver - but in my case was a definite "must do."

[@electricavenue2204]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@Cy81tx]

@@electricavenue2204 GEEZ ! So what it cost 50 per tire?... also how fast and how far does this bike go? I have an Ecotric Peace Dove, the motor is exactly the same! But I'm thinking this one might go faster for some reason!

[@TheFreshPeddler]

controller or battery could make the same motor faster.

[@stevecash173]

Didn’t even show the wheel removal!

[@tongmeister]

I do not recommend touching the disc brakes unless you know how to align it again.

[@trini_boi2414]

Can you believe these knuckleheads didn't have a disconnect on the power cable going to my hub.. it's one long cable I'm screwed if I need to replace the rear tire😩

[@theeasybeats5913]

My eBike doesn't have the middle connector in the line to the motor

[@electricavenue2204]

It depends which bike you have! If you're lucky, the wire may be connected to the wheel itself like on the Stromer Models. Which bike do you own?

[@theeasybeats5913]

@@electricavenue2204 Nakto fortunately I was able to loosen the wheel and there was enough room to squeeze the tube through to the rim. I'm sure I could get a tire through there too

[@robertharden7743]

Eye agree

[@mysteryandmeaning297]

Didn't show how disconnect the disc brake so best take it to shop

[@fucheduck]

had a curb crash, am using an electric Ancheer folding bike. was very dark, my roads traffic lights do not signal for bikes unless a car is on the road because of weight limit of traffic lights so I was forced to use a sidewalk(which is not a bike trail) we live in a hick town, the cycle came on a low part of a curb that I thought was a clear ramp was only a lower curb, no clear ramp on that particular street. anyway, the front tire(not to do directly with video topic) hit going at around 10 mph. I don't know what tube to use on an Ancheer electric folding bike this one, www.amazon.com/ANCHEER-Lightweight-Integrated-Lithium-Ion-Suspension/dp/B01MUAG7U5 can't find much info on this and no one will tell me. I don't even know if I should just replace the whole mag wheel/tire assemby not just the tube. it hit pretty hard, but it only damaged the air valve stem(tangibly) I don't know what intangible damage was done. I don't know which tube to use on this bike, I do know the stem is rubber, that is why the thing got flat.

[@electricavenue2204]

It's hard to say if it's worth fixing or not without seeing the bike. To know which tube you would need we would have to know the tire size. It might be best to contact the manufacturer and find out if there are any authorized dealers or service centers near you so that you can take it by and have it checked out. Sorry that we couldn't be of more service to you. If you have any additional questions please feel free to call us!

[@peacelovingperson2539]

Have you tried a tube liner? I've had a few pinch flats until I got a tube liner. And then there were none!

[@MyFloridaWildlifeJournal]

Wow.. skipped part how to take tube out

[@1lupus]

Good video up to 2:46 then pointless

[@nijelly7744]

Lol 2:04

[@bmxscape]

you dont have to take the brake caliper off lol

[@TheSonicFan4]

Wow, you skipped actually removing the wheel. Nice.

[@6henny443]

He removed the wheel but not the tire

[@peterneale6278]

(Gnashing of teeth) This video has the same problem as all the other ones I have seen so far. My bike has no plug in the electric cable between the wheel and the controller. That's what I need to solve.

[@Abroadero]

I am here because my electric bike tire is flat.

[@optimusp1376]

obviously

[@LordTylere]

Me 2

[@peacelovingperson2539]

And???

[@chakubanga1]

This is not TUTORIAL. Its a video which shows something like removing a tire. You skipped the whole details of even how to remove the tire.. Its thumbs down

[@fallen2109]

Can you speak a bit louder guys OR switch off the bloody background noise!

[@scootscoot97warlock90]

sorry but next video maybe speak a little closer to the mic, can barely hear you

[@isawit9722]

If you are going to make a video....and least have the correct tools,... if you use that contraption of allen wrenches... you are not professional....

[@TheDeBarros]

This video needs to be deleted and redone with complete instructions.
