Shad0z Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 my tire is flat so I'm in a situation where the airvalve is loose or something among that i took i to a bike shop and they looked at it and they said that for them to fix it i need to take the wheel off. i have taken out the batteries screws and control board i see no more screws only the axle nut what do i have to do to get out the wheel? Can't i just undo the axle nut and pull it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to do is take out all screws from the pedalarms to shell...and ALL shell screws! To find all shell screws...you need to take off the led/plastik strips from the side. AND the big glossy plastik piece that you also use as a handle. When you have unscrewed all the shell and pedal arm screws, you will be able to split the shell into 2 halves and get the wheel out of it, which will still have the pedal arms attached(that is OK!).... Then the tire can be changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if the bicycle repair shop tech has never performed this type of repair I would stand guard right next to him (her) making sure they do not tug on any wires or damage any components during the process.

Sorry but I can't answer the pro and cons on tubeless vs tube. Forum members that have made the transition to tubeless swear by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum members that have made the transition to tubeless swear by it. good to hear they loved the transition. i have read that you can put about 20% less pressure in tubeless and they still work but tube not possible and that tires with tubes the tubes are really thin and easily puncture so i will see if i can shift to tube-less if i can find them in the right size i had a mini pro that was tubeless (has same tires as gotway mten) and they felt pretty good so i will go with tubeless if possible and get back where i left with my tesla that thing is impossible to go without, like every other euc owner knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghamP Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Don't tubeless tires require a rim that is air-sealed? Like you cannot just take a normal bicycle wheel and put a rim on it as the spokes are not air-sealed. You might be better off using Slime on your tire. Once and done. Carry an air-pump for long trips... If the valve isn't damaged you might be able to entirely fix you tire by using slime. That'd save you a lot of time.
