What PSI should I keep the tires inflated at?

February 15, 2022
Brand-new Levy Light and Plus scooters ship with air-filled tires and extra-thick inner tubes. Check both tires with a gauge and inflate to 50–60 PSI before riding. If you have a demo or refurbished scooter, or changed its tire or tube setup, ask Levy Support for the right target. Levy’s extra-thick tubes support the higher pressure and help resist punctures.
 
When your tires are low on air, which can sometimes be hard to notice, you risk air pressure leakage which can cause flats or punctures to the inner tube of the tire. Riding on a flat tire for an extended period of time can cause permanent damage to the tire and require a replacement. A standard bike pump is all you need to inflate the tires.
 
 

It's important to top up the tire pressure often, at least every other week when riding frequently. Riding on low PSI can cause your tires to more easily puncture or develop leaks around the sidewall.

 
To better prevent flats from occurring due to punctures, we recommend using inner tube tire sealant as a preventative measure.
 
To inflate the front tire, a valve extender might be necessary depending on the pump you are using, as the valve opening can sit shallow on the front wheel.
