My tire is punctured / flat

July 22, 2021
 

As replacing / repairing tires requires disassembly of the scooter and proper tools to change the tire, we recommend taking your scooter to a mechanic / bike shop that is experienced with tire replacements.

 

Repairing a Flat Tire

All Levy scooters use tires with inner tubes. If you develop a flat or puncture, you will likely need to either patch or replace the inner tube. Inner tubes are available for purchase on our website and instructions for installing a new inner tube can be found here.
 
A standard bike pump is all you need to inflate to 50–60 PSI for Levy’s extra-thick inner-tube setup after replacing the tube.

Our newer extra-thick inner tubes support the recommended 50–60 PSI operating pressure. We recommend this range to reduce the risk of pinch flats, where the inner tube gets pinched against the rim over a bump, and help maintain top speed and battery range.

For this extra-thick inner-tube setup, running at 35–40 PSI is also acceptable if you prefer a softer ride over bumps. The trade-off is a higher risk of pinch flats and potentially reduced top speed and battery range compared with 50–60 PSI.

 
 

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.
