Electric Scooter Tire Replacement
Replacing the tire of an electric scooter is done in the same way as a bicycle. In the following Xiaomi M365 tire replacement video, the correct procedure is demonstrated. If the outer tire is worn and you are replacing it, it is advisable to also install a new inner tube. Tire wear and punctures are usually caused by insufficient tire pressure.
The recommended tire pressure for Xiaomi M365 is in the range of 3-4 bars. If the tire pressure drops below this range, it can lead to wear on both the outer and inner tire.
