Einleitung

Use this guide to replace an old or flat tire on your Solowheel Original electric self-balancing unicycle.

Before you begin, have a jar or can available to put all of the screws in. It is very important to know where the screws are, as you will need all of them to securely put your unicycle back together.

If you do not use all of the screws when putting the unicycle back together it poses a safety hazard and could result in injury or death when riding the unicycle.

After replacing the tire, I suggest pumping up the tire fully and waiting a few minutes to see if there are any air leaks. Once you're sure that the tire isn't defective, go ahead and start the process of putting the unicycle back together.

    • Lay the Solowheel down with the side containing the battery facing up.

    • The power button and charger port are on the same side as the battery. For the Solowheel to be positioned properly, you'll need to have the side with the power button and charger port facing up.

    • Insert the spoon tire iron in between the metal rim and rubber tire.

    • Once inserted, tilt the tool back toward the middle of the wheel to loosen the rubber tire from the metal rim. The edge of the rubber tire should now be above the metal rim.

    • Insert the flathead screwdriver under the rubber tire to keep the edge in place and then remove the spoon tire iron and re-insert it between the metal rim and rubber tire a couple of inches away from where you first inserted it.

    • Repeat this process until the rubber tire comes off of the metal rim.

    • Reach into the rubber tire and remove the old rubber inner tube.

    • Replace with new rubber inner tube.
