Just to note
This video has been made as a guide to help you maintain/fix/repair a specific part of a Pure Electric e-Scooter. But as with any repair video, we can't be on hand to make sure all the right steps are taken, with the correct tools and used on the correct parts.
As such take care when following this guide that you do not take any steps, outside of those highlighted in the video, that void the warranty or damage your e-scooter.
We also want to highlight that you should take all steps to set up a safe working environment, and should only be comfortable carrying out the steps in the video, if you are sure that the e-scooter is securely positioned and not at any risk of toppling over, potentially hurting you or damaging your e-scooter. If easier, bring someone else along to help you with this task. And as a final note - Take care not to damage any electrical cabling (which is a safety hazard) - we wish all our riders to be safe both during and after any maintenance.
We want all our riders to feel confident in carrying out their own maintenance, in a safe and controlled way, but as with anything, if you're unsure on any steps, contact our support team via your local Pure Electric website (Pureelectric.com) who will be on hand to help.

My son got his scooter for Christmas and out of the box the inner tube is blowing air and solution from around the valve steam, Great awaiting for a response to get a replacement inner tube and allow my son to use his scooter

Hello, is it possible to put a solid inner tube tire, because I had a puncture with my pure electric air 3 scooter on the rear wheel. THANKS 

[@shanegiles3999]

I've go 10x3.0 off road tires on my 2nd gen 500w had them on 3 months now , not 1 puncher but just had the new pure advance + 31 mile range so best of both worlds atm I wanna see how these tubeless get on ,on the pure advance + no problems yet

[@LaytDaMage33]

Where did you get the tyres mate? I want to upgrade. I had an air 2 never had a problem for months; it got stolen so I had to get another one and 2 months in and I have a puncture 🤣 I think I let too much anti puncture fluid out when I was pumping the tyres up

[@shanegiles3999]

@@LaytDaMage33 i got them off amazon ..They are about £50 for 2

[@RandomGamer-ku6ck]

I have the Pure Air Go, so does my friend. My sister has the Pure Air 500w instead. All 3 of them feel practically impossible to remove the rear bolt? What sort of loctite do you use because even after applying a lot of heat it's absolutely ridiculous

[@RandomGamer-ku6ck]

I'd also like to add that all 3 scooters had the slime stuff in, and it completely failed on all 3. I measured the piece of glass that popped mine, it was less than 3mm long and still caused a puncture that the slime couldn't handle. Extremely disappointed with Pure scooters so far

[@RidePureElectric]

Hi @RandomGamer 420 We're sorry to hear that you're having a bit of difficulty with the bolt, we obviously want to get you all back up and running again as soon as possible. The repair can be difficult if its your first time attempting a repair like this, and across all our products we don't aim to use products to prevent you taking the bolt out. Are you able to drop our rider support team a message here - support.pureelectric.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new We do also have a network of repair centers across the country who are specialised in working on Pure e-scooters (see top pinned comment).

@@RidePureElectric It's not my first time, far from it. It's the first time on this particular scooter, but I've done several other PURE scooters and other brands. My complaint is that you've clearly used something for the bolt to seize, it's an absolute joke. The slime you use is one of the worst I've ever seen as well, let alone not even being half of the amount you need to use. Also find it coincidental that across FOUR pure scooters every one of them gets rear punctures (me and my friends/family). Never the front tyre, always the back. I'm sure there's some kind of design flaw or simply just parts that are too cheap. My tyre was punctured by a piece of glass smaller than 3mm and the slime couldn't even deal with that. It's a joke

[@hassannassrallah3099]

@@RandomGamer-ku6ck trust me i did it it took 30 mins of trying till i got it off. defo a 2 man job

You definitely need to extend the leverage on the 8mm hex key. Used a large vice-grips, worked well

[@oryanol]

Impossible to remove the tyre with 8mm hex key on my scooter. It's more than tight. This is sealed

[@M_B.14]

Might be late reply but try use WD40 and a hammer.

[@oryanol]

@@M_B.14 I finally used two hex keys, one on each side and a hammer. It worked 😁

[@TheGrimFiend]

@@oryanolhow? I can’t get them to move haha

[@M_B.14]

@@TheGrimFiend buy WD40 spray on the bolts and leave it for 30 mins and the screws should be loosened and use hammer

[@TheGrimFiend]

@@M_B.14 lmao i used a hammer yesterday and hammered the screws so hard, it worked😭😭😭 ngl it was a hassle to get the tyre changed

[@RandomGamer-ku6ck]

So now I've finally ended up having to sort the front tire for a friend, usually it's a rear puncture. However after replacing the front innertube and tire, the front brake now seems loose (still works but not as well). Why is this?

[@cypri8634]

Wtf have you done with the thru axle?? This shit don’t want to come by any way, i have both screws unscrewed after 1h and now i have the thru axle that is stuck in the middle i have to hammer the thing for it to move. Didnt you put any grease in it or what ?

[@SpenSpen-bj5fr]

I broke my brake when doing this don’t ask me how 😅

[@tazsays3281]

Looks easy on the movie, but put aside 1/2 a day, get some really strong tyre levers or screw drivers, make sure your hands have been trained by a Kung-fu master, ask all family n friends to forgive your cursing, make sure you have a bike or car handy, whiskey or wine nearby optional … then it’s a doddle … not! It’s a great piece of kit … so why make a puncture repair like the 3rd world war?

[@kevinashton4233]

Do not buy these. I have a rear puncture on my pure air 3 the tyres are very hard work to take off . DO NOT PURCHASE THESE PURE AIR 3

[@flxflz8736]

this shouldnt be happening tho

[@jlb4685]

lol tyres pop just like a bicycle can?

[@TheGrimFiend]

Well it does so

[@RandomGamer-ku6ck]
