Looks like a phone

[@grecoserrano4477]

Overinflate the tire so the bead seats properly. You hear it pop when it seats right. Then deflate. Usually about 60-75psi to seat, then down to 30ish

[@FinnBjerke]

Are you assuming the Tire fits? Why? My assumption is: The tire looks cool they choice it without adjusting the construction of the wheel according to the tires specs. Childish ? Yes... Dangerous ? Yes... Gotway like ? Yes also that

[@paintedblk]

Hell nah thought I wanted one but that tire change blew me 😂. I’m already lazy when it comes to changing my GotWay Tesla tire

[@sindrevalheim7694]

Is it a big hassle to change them by yourself? I bought a Tesla last year and I’ve had to change the tire a few times, but I pay professionals to do it 😅😅

[@paintedblk]

Sindre Valheim it’s like a 20 min process, u don’t have to disconnect any wires or nothing but it still sucks lol

[@popecosh307]

I don’t see why you would have to disconnect all those wires... you should just be able to disconnect the xt connectors and be done

[@geedaytamesthecharts9093]

You did all.that just to change out the tire! I think imma just get another one.

[@MrBlackVortex]

You got to do all that to change a simple flat though? Damn!

[@Bridgeboy69]

I just had a flat on my KS18XL and I used "Ultra Instant Bike Tire Inflator Sealer" from Walmart and it worked great. It's basically a bicycle tire sized Fix-a-Flat. No disassembly needed...

[@Bridgeboy69]

@Andrei Petunin So far just a few days. I just did it. But I have no reason to expect it won't last as long as the tire will last or until a new puncture develops. I squirted it inside and then rode the EUC for about 3 or 4 miles to really spin it up in there while it was drying and to make sure it balanced out evenly.

[@OWGAC]

Man they really need to find some way to make the wheel more accessible! Having to go through all that each time just to swap a tire or patch a tube is a huge pain!! Btw is the outside diameter the same as stock? As in this won’t affect the top speed will it?

[@KujiRolls]

Yeah, pretty much identical width and diameter

[@josebravo5125]

Fix a flat might work in most situations, but replacing a totalled tire would probably have to be done by an expert

[@marsrover001]

When you pinch the tube slightly during install and just hope it goes away. It never does.

[@darkstar4494]

marsrover001 you can depressurize the tube until it’s barely rideable, then go around the block, sometimes that straightens out twists or folds. It worked for me on the recommendation of Jason from ewheels.

The next generation should have a better user friendly changing.

[@magnetmannenbannanen]

yes i agree, not user friendly to have to dissasemble powercables and stuff. it should have a joint on top so it opens like a waffle iron, and u can then switch out the wheel and rim superfast.

[@cyberBIGGT]

that's what I was thinking... knobby it is!

[@wizrom3046]

That sucks! I feel for you. 🙁 With tube tires its good to semi-inflate the tube to maybe 10 psi after installing, then use your hands to fully work the tube and tyre because itsmsoft enough to squeeze. That makes sure the tube is not pinched. And some talcum powder or chalk rubbed on the tube will help it find the natural position and get less abrasion.😁

[@mikedelphine1216]

I’d say such awe full complex tire change calls for urgent development of Tubeless Run Flat Tire solutions! Ideally something that works without air pressure, like a strong/flexible Foam material stuffed inside the tire !? 🤔

[@twelvebears1971]

They need to put more thought into that design. Tyre changing is a standard maintenance requirement and you should not have to do that level of complex electrical disassembly.

[@urthpainter]

is there a more detailed Sherman Veteran tire change vid on YT? this shows the basics, but leaves out details (like actually seeing the tire being freed from the case for instance). I have a tire change ahead of me (mine came with a flawed tire), and I'd like a more technical video to follow

I wipe around the new tyre, inside with a wet wipe just in case there are sharp bits or stones in there. Then like what others have said be ultra careful about making sure the inner tube is not pinched anywhere. What a bummer!

Sounds like the tube was slightly twisted (Binding) inside the tire, it didn't straighten out when it got inflated. Recommend rubbing baby talcum powder before installing the tube. Keeps it from binding up.

[@gunshow2389]

[@fish9468]

:(

[@smsauce]

I use baby powder (talc) in my mountain bikes and dirt bikes before putting the tubes in. It acts as a dry lube and I never get pinch flats, even aired down to really low pressures. Just put some inside the tire before installing and roll it around to spread it out.

is there a way to ensure that you get a street tire when you order one of these? i realize that it's possible to swap a tire, but it's unclear to me if there's a way to request a type of tire when you check out online. the way i understand it now is that when you order a sherman, you're just gambling to see what type of tire you get when it arrives

[@eveoff]

e-wheels from usa will offer street tyre option. If you cant wait, Chickway will get you a model with one right away.

[@emcg5112]

Tires usually have a heavy point which should be installed away from the valve stem. And, if a tire falls from the bead while in use, you did something VERY wrong.

Why didn't you just put a 4 pin connection half way to the motor on that black multicable, then disconnect it and remove the tire.
