Thanks for shopping with us, we appreciate your business.
When electric scooters first became popular our
Throttles, Controllers, Control Boxes, Battery Chargers, Batteries,
Brake Levers, Switches, Key Switches, On Off and Kill Switches,
Fuses and Fuseholders, Lighting and Signals, and Common Scooter
Electrical Components were available for customers in need who
otherwise could not get parts for their model scooters. Electrical
Scooter throttles, battery chargers, control boxes were very hard
to find, and still are for quality parts. The difference in our
electrical parts from others' electrical scooter parts is that we
reject the cheap parts sometimes available to us. Plus, we test the
parts we sell prior to shipping them to our customers,
adding a little bit to the price but insuring quality. Bottom line
- fast receipt of quality scooter parts!

In this article we will be using a standard 12 1/2 inch wheel where the rim is a single piece as opposed to a split rim in which the two halves are held together by 3 or 4 screws and nuts.
Single piece rims are more like automotive rims where the tire is pulled onto the rim by stretching over the rim's lip. Removal is done by using a tool to get the stretch and removal started. Various tools can work like those shown as long as the tool tip is blunt. A pair of pliers with the arch of the handle works great to get under the tire bead after the tube has been deflated and pull it up and over the edge of the rim. Once done a second tool can be inserted to hold the tire's bead over the rim's edge. 
The pliers is then moved to a second close point to continue the process.
With the outside of the tire now over the rim the tube can be pulled from the rim. Now with the tube removed turn the wheel over and push the tire the rest of the way off the rim if you are replacing the tire and tube.
Installing a new tire and tube begins by placing the tire as much on the rim as possible with both beads of the tire inside the rim at the bottom as you stretch the tire partially onto the rim at the top.
Turn the wheel over and pull the tire bead onto the rim.
Use your thumbs to press the remainder of the tire the rest of the way onto the rim. If you must use a tool such as a pair of pliers be careful not to pinch a hole in the innertube between the tool and the rim. This is easy to do. Once the tire is in place inflate the tube and check for leaks.
