How to Change KQI3 Rear Tire

Changing the tire on any scooter is always difficult without the know-how and the right tools. And the rear tire on the KQI3 is no different. Here's how to change the rear tire on the KQI3.
Getting the rear wheel off and taking the tire off is a relatively straightforward job involving some minimal tools. However, putting the tire back on again became a little more challenging compared to the front tire as you will see in this video.
If you haven't already, check out the last video on How to Change the KQI3 Battery. You have to get into the battery compartment before you can take off the rear wheel.

Thank for your video on rear tyre change, I did the rear tyre change in less than half an hour, clamped the tyre instead of electrical ties then put ratchet strap around tyre tightly to get the tyre to seal and pumped it up and it popped out, EASY.

Did you use a air Compresser?

[@MrPeterparker1984]

Niu is the most complicated scooter tire change. I do tires all day, but niu had to make theirs special. Uncommon tire size (gotta wait for China shipping) plus all the layers have to come apart.

[@Dan-mu7jj]

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your videos, I recently had to change my rear tire, and learning from your mishaps gave me the confidence to take on this tedious task, I wouldn’t have been prepared for the tire dropping when loosening it and as it isn’t back together yet, I’ll be sure to connect all the wires before my reassemble, lol I truly appreciate your videos, thanks again !!!

[@ScootLetsGo]

Thank you for your awesome comment. I do like to show the mishaps and the struggles. If I sugar coat it, then people won’t be prepared haha.

[@peterah7957]

Just bought the scooter two days ago ..Done 50 km already. I think this video is fantastic and i do appreciate the work involved when not having a workshop filled with all the right gear. This is something i enjoy doing so i feel this tutorial is a godsend thanks! ❤

[@oldebill1807]

Thanks for the vid. My scooter's rear tire valve came apart and I needed to get the rear wheel off and one side of a tire off in order to replace it. Yes, the rims are soft and I ended up scraping a few sections. Also, I had to take it to my car mechanic's shop to reset the tire beads. He recommended that the valve core be removed when resetting tires as this allows a higher inflow rate.

[@JerKKeR]

One thing I'd like to add regarding the initial tire inflation. The best way to get it up and running for free is by doing what I did and just taking your scooter (or just the wheel) to your local gas station and use one of the car tire pumps to inflate it. They usually are free however you also have to rely on the mercy of the gas station staff as these are technically not allowed to be used on bike wheels. Some gas stations might take issue with you doing this but my gas stations are pretty chill about it. Thanks so much for the video it helped me fix my flat rear tire on my KQi3 Sport, it was an absolute NIGHTMARE! NIU definitely makes great scooters until the moment you have to make repairs, then they turn to among the worst

[@Andrew20vt]

Thank you for your video, I used it as a warm up before I tackled my sons. FYI, if your having trouble seating the bead of a tire, you can try using a ratchet strap around the perimeter to help push the beads against the wheel✌️

[@HakaisMorph]

Well I got told I should plan about 5 -10 weeks until I get it back FOR A FUCKING FLAT TIRE if I still could At this point cause this lack of service I would love to get my money back and buy a different one

[@assanfakkir]

A cycle pump worked for me

[@jeerkc]

Just a note that I tried to change this, but ended up damaging the rim edges and it leaks air (even after adding bead sealer). Ended up needing a new motor/rim assembly. I've learned that while some things are fun as a challenge this one is best left to the scooter pros to change. But I appreciate the how to!

Ok id like to update......the actual dismantling of the scooter was easy enough....and i used a heat gun instead of a hair dryer ...All basic tools then...I've taken off the tyre easy enough and a friend of mine will put the new tyre on at his garage because i cannot be bothered to struggle with the new tyre ....The tyree i actually bought isnt the best quality like the original so ive purchased a thicker and better quality tyre for the next removal in the future.

I used to change tires for a living as a young lad. I notice you didn't lubricant the tire before mounting the tire. Great suggestion, you can use petroleum jelly around the bead of the tire. It'll help getting the tire into the rim and seal. Once you get the air in

[@LindyTalbotStuff]

My, what an ordeal! Two thoughts/conclusions from my POV. 1) If you decide to do this yourself, if the tire is no good (in my case, it is leaking), why not save some time and avoid the whole clamping, pushing/pulling/levering by just dremel-cutting the tire all the way through -- from the bead to the tread -- and then just pull the tire off? Putting a new tire on a rim is always easier, in my experience, so effort saved there. And potential rim/wire/misc. damage avoided.. 2) Speaking of potential damage, I am evaluating that AND what my time is worth. Might it be better to spend the money to send it back to the service center and have them assume all the risk and effort? (Sending it in is what they just told me was the non-DIY option). You would think I could take it to a dealer, but they did not say that was an option. Also, one last thought/question regarding a leaking tire: any of the puncture sealants work for that? Thoughts folks?

I have something to update now I have had received a flat I've attempted to repair the hole with the tubeless repair kit ....It worked for about 2 days of normal use . I believe three tyres are of low quality rubber ...the hole was the smallest and it seemed to be easily punctured ....I recommend a change of tyre maybe switch to self healing tyre or solid like they have put in the nui q air ....This process to remove the back tyre is ridiculous.. I'm using this video on the weekend to put my spare tyre on then I'll be purchasing solid tyres for the future .

[@easybeart]

Getting the bead to sit is impossible on these tires. No shops near me will touch an electric scooter tire. Any tips?

[@ScootLetsGo]

I must be lucky in my area. As long as you have money. Mechanics will do the work haha. Have you got a friend with a high psi pump?

[@cbpuzzle]

You can always go outside, spray a small bit of ether (starter fluid) inside, and light it from the bead edge. The explosion will pop the beads on the rim.

[@ActionQuackson]

Thanks for the video! What size rotor should i order if i have to to replace it?

[@puccalove24]

Is this the same as the kqi2 pro version? I need help please 🙏

[@assanfakkir]

1 handed clamp set - easier than tags Tire levers Heat the tire for 3 mins in hot water 80°c Apply lubricant oil with hands on the rim's outer edge and the inner surface Apply oil with hands on the outer edge and inner edge of tire which has contact during mounting. Without lubricant there is chance of tire bead getting damaged. After the first tire bead goes in, with hand push the second bead as far as possible and use the clamps to press the tire on the sides to hold the tire inside the rim. Then use the tire lever to complete it. It is as easy as 10 mins job !

[@willybaldy1999]

Don't do the boiling water trick with the Max folks, it will ruin the self healing layer inside the tire.

[@wing3389]

Ok.. great informative video. But for all of those who wish to purchase a Niu Scooter, you had better get your head examined. First of all, no bicycle repair shop will even go near them due to all the work involved to fix them. As a person who had to change the rear tire (flat, which can't be plugged)on the KQI3, its a total nightmare. Everything had to be taken apart on the scooter which was the floor board, the battery cover, wiring etc) Then try removing the old tire to put on a new one. Good luck !! Then after the tire is on the hub, it wouldn't inflate due to air leaking out between the tire and the wheel hub. All of this after just 6.5 months of light use on bike paths. I was so pissed off that I just gave it away to cut my loses. Bottom line. Stear clear of these things until repair shops open up close to where you live.

[@renatocsb2]

You're absolutely right! It is a nightmare!

[@rochrides8730]

Please, it’s not that hard to change I hope everyone that has one sells them to me cheap I can change both tires in a half hour and do it correctly also I will put self healing tires on them when they go flat. You just need clamps , tire irons and tire lube and a little bit of IQ . I hear people complaining about little repairs like this , now I know why other countries are kicking our asses with innovation ( our kids are dumb quitters lol

[@emerys1312]

Nice video.... A tire is a tire and when seating the bead some soapy water (or other tire lubricant like they use at tire shops) would have helped you immensely! Dry rubber on the rim is very difficult to seat, but with soapy water I bet you would not have had any issues! It's like any other tire for that matter.

[@Iamthedude]

Idk the difference is the motor from the 1st to 2nd gen but if the 2nd gen in rated for more wattage then likely no. The controller needs to be able to output correct voltage and wattage.
