WiLEES Solid Tire Mijia Scooter Replacement Tire for Xiaomi Mi M365 Electric Scooter Gotrax gxl Scooter 8.5 inches

Original review:They're too small. Two people, screwdrivers, boiling, oil, couldn't get them on.My new review:They are fine once they get on. However, do not underestimate how difficult they are to get on.You will need: a microwave, grease, pry bar, gloves. If you do not have any one of these things then you will fail.You will need to grease the rim. Then, you will need to put the tires in the microwave. For a long time. Basically, until they are too hot to touch. Hence the gloves.Take off all your clothes because you will be covered in sweat by the time you get this sucker on. You will put the tire flat on a surface. You will put the rim on top. Using the pry bar, and every ounce of your strength -- it helps to think of things like, my child is being crushed by a car! -- you will pull the tire over the rim.The last bit is the hardest part. For this part, you will need pure 100% concentrated rage. When this part is done, then the tire will be off-center. To fix this, shove the pry bar in between the tire and the rim and stretch it out. For reasons science is unable to explain, this fixes the off-center problem.

For perspective, I used this to replace the front tire on my m365 scooter. I already had experience replacing my rear tire with solid rubber (after the inner tube exploded), so I knew the process.With that being said, this tire was AT LEAST twice as difficult to mount as those without the hollow circular holes. However, the difficulty in placing the tire on the wheel is indicative of the riding quality, which is surprisingly smooth!For best experience, microwave the wheel for two bursts of one minute, handle with gloves (it'll be hot!) and use soapy water for lubrication.

Crazy hard to get these on and they are a bit smaller than the original tires but they work well. Once I got them on (microwaved them / covered in oil, multiple crow bars) I gave them a test ride and they do well. Quite grippy for sure. Hope they last as I don’t ever wanna replace these.

The wheel, once on, feels exactly like a tubed tire. If you're willing to put the work to get the tire on, this is for you. Getting the wheel on is quite a hassle and near impossible if you don't have the right tools, but if you have the tools, it's pretty simple. The easiest way to get the tire on is by heating it first, then using zip ties to hold the tire in place as you move around to secure the tire. You may need to use some type of lever or crow bar to get the tire onto the rim, as was the case on mine.

I've just gone through this tonight, and the instrucstion on how to install really helps puts into words my pure rage at getting the thing on. It's over now. My scooter has wheels again. it fits my scooter perfectly and is much better on rough ground or uneven sidewalks than regular tires. If you’re going to try it, be aware installing it is a bear. but you’ll probably need two people and some tools to get it on.

To ease installation, place it on the microwave oven in intervals no longer than 15 seconds to loose up the wheels. Once the wheel on the rim, use a steel stick to proper position the wheel. The smaller size gives the scooter more power but less speed.

Great dry traction and grip to the road surface. Makes the KERS actually a little bit more effective because this tire GRIPS pavement. Smooth ride and significant improvements in battery and pickup from the decrease in surface area activity touching the road. Eat your Wheaties® and wear LEATHER gloves to protect from heat and blisters from friction installing and watch the instructional video. Be very careful if you are replacing the front wheel or whichever wheel your brushless hub motor is on not to leave the wheel down on top of the wiring.

Daughter loves it. She just turned 3 and she's 3'4" 38 lbs and it's great for her. She got the hang of it right away. I LOVE how this is such a smooth ride. It just goes right over twigs and pebbles.I do suggest, if this is your child's first scooter or if they aren't used to scooters, put them in some shoes that cover their ankles, because my girl did knock it on her ankles once or twice while she was getting used to it. I had her in boots, though, so she didn't feel it, but if she hadn't been wearing them it may have stung a little.This was a fantastic purchase and I'm so glad I got it for her!
