Why does my tire show a different PSI than Levy recommends?

Does the outer tire marking mean I received an older scooter?

An outer-tire marking around 36 PSI falls within the 35–40 PSI option that is also acceptable for Levy’s extra-thick inner-tube setup. A different marking does not by itself mean you received an older scooter or different inner tubes. The outer tire and inner tube are separate parts.

Why we recommend 50–60 PSI

Brand-new Levy Light and Plus scooters ship with air-filled tires and our newer extra-thick inner tubes.

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.

Can I use 35–40 PSI for a softer ride?

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.

How should I check the pressure?

Use a pump with a gauge to check both air-filled tires before riding. Check the pressure at least every other week when riding frequently. Do not ride on a flat tire.

If you have a demo, refurbished, older or modified scooter, or have changed its tires or tubes, contact Levy Support to confirm the right pressure for the fitted setup. Solid tires do not require inflation.

Our Tire Pump has a built-in gauge. A suitable bike pump you already have works too.
