Jesdoo Solid Tire Replacement for Electric Scooter Xiaomi m365 / gotrax gxl V2,8.5 inches Scooter Wheel's Replacement Explosion-Proof Solid Tire.for Xiaomi M365 tire for scooter

I used to be a bird scooter mechanic so I've changed a ton of xiaomi m365 tires. I recently got my own xiaomi and decided I'd rather not deal with flat tires, so I bought these. The front tire was really hard to install! I boiled the tires in a pot outside on my grill (stinky) and got the back tire on with the help of gloves, vaseline, zip ties, and 3 long tire irons. The front tire I tried to install 2 times, pinning the edge of the tire down with my knee or shoe and using the tire irons to get it over the rim. I couldn't get it on, so I ended up getting help from my husband. He had a hard time getting it on too, but he pinned 1 side with his shoe, used 2 tire irons, and I held down 1 side of the tire which helped him get it over the rest of the rim. It was a big pain in the butt, but never having to change a tire was worth the $35 and the struggle.The ride is a little bumper than with pneumatic tires, but not bad. I think it's softer than the scooters I've ridden with 100% solid tires. The holes in this tire we helpful for installation (zip ties through the holes) but also for adjusting where the tire sat in the rim. I think the holes might also make the ride a little softer.I also recommend looking up videos on YouTube for installation ideas. Oh 1 other thing, I drilled a big hole in a board and put my front wheel bolt with the cable attached in the holes to keep it from wobbling around while we got the tire on.

I seem to be the only oddball in the comments that has a different brand scooter. It was cheap but works very well for what I need. I have the hover Journey-1 and got a flat in my inner tube on the first long ride I took. These tires change all of that definitely worth the money. They do make the ride a little rougher but they handle much much better, very responsive to quick turns and I can even go off the pavement if absolutely necessary. Like I said must have for a scooter with tubes still. Installing wasn’t too bad but definitely not easy you need a little elbow grease as they say. Put the tire in the microwave, use some gloves, soap and a couple flathead screwdrivers and you are golden. Good luck and god speed.

Just like they say boil the tire and force it on. I didnt use a vice i just boiled layed rim on ground and kneeled on tire and pushed down all the way around. It does take some effort and alot of force and i did have to reboil one because i took too long and it lost its flexibility. Also the ride is definitely rougher but its solid and you dont have to ever worry about flats or air. I did the rear of two scooters. The fronts of mine lose air but they work fine all the weight is mostly in the rear. One day i may change the front but just did rears for now. They are hover 1 scooters.

First I gave it the college try, placed the tire in hot water for 10 minutes, then did everything I could to get the tire on - I swore there is no way this tire could fit the rim (it was the back rim) - even though ~2 years ago I replaced the front tire with a solid new tire (I remembered it being tough, but got it on).Second I took it to a bicycle shop - who spent over 30 minutes trying to get it on - they said no can do ...My inspiration came from the review by JnKAguirre - although I ended up modifying his technique - here's what I did, and if I followed this to a "t", it would take a few minutes next time (after heating the tire) to get it on:1) I heated the tire for 20 minutes in boiling water - not sure if this was needed, but I placed wood skewers at the bottom of the pot, so the tire would not be laying right on the metal of the pot (as the metal of the pot can get well over 100c ..., and I did not want any rubber on my pot ...)2) While heating the tire, I took the wheel, removed the brake rotor, then placed Vaseline on the edge of one side of the rim3) Once heated, I placed one side of the tire firmly into rim - I then used a plastic zip tie, to secure it in place4) I placed the rim/tire on the floor (tire face down first), then stepped on one of the sides of the rim (~90 degrees to where the tire was already in the wheel) to get more of the rim into the wheel - I then added another zip tie, so roughly 30-40% of the tire was securely in the wheel5) I continued to place weight by standing on the wheel, to get more into the tire - I probably added one more zip tie - and got to ~50% of the tire solidly in the wheel6) I used a mini crow bar (maybe about 6-8" long, 1" wide), the lever the balance of the tire (levered between the underside of the tire, the upper edge of the rim) - KEY NOTE, I did not do this at the center point of where the tire was not yet on the rim, rather closer to where the tire was already on the rim, so the result was to get more, but not all of the tire on the rim - I needed to repeat this 1-2 more times to get the balance of the tire on the rim7) Once the tire was fully on the rim, portions were not fully seated in the rim, so I used a screwdriver, placing it through the holes in the tire, and moving it around to get it seated properly - this went very fast, and with fairly little forceNote - for #6, you may have been able to use a screwdriver, not sure (I think this is what JnKAguirre used)The crowbar I used looks similar to this one:https://www.amazon.com/Vaughan-460-04-222-Mini-Bar-2-Inch/dp/B00G0ORV6Q/ref=sr_1_3I do have some scratches on my rim, but honestly I had some when taking off the old tire - no idea how you take off the old tire, put this new one on scratch free - good luck!I gave this 4 stars, because they really need to give better instructions on how to do this ...

After this upgrade my scooter top speed is 5mph faster, much better range and handling. It is somewhat difficult to install but there are great instructions, just ensure the tire is hot enough to stretch over the rim.

Good delivery times. Well packed.Hard to fit, but boil in hot water for fifteen minutes they go on real easy.
