I finished this conversion today. the metal was softer than I expected and the drill went through fairly easily/accurately. just have to start out slow until you get enough metal drilled out to go all the way through. I was pleasantly surprised when going through the front wheel shell the wheel had a circle guide already there for you to drill through. the back was definitely easier than the front. tube tire is pretty easy to install if you have the tire tools and use your feet/weight to keep the tire install going.

@@Drippinonthedroop the front tube valve will touch the wheel shell when fully inflated to spec. you can still insert a valve extender when you need to fill the tire again (or just deflate fully and refill with air after attaching extender). the holes need to be drilled in the proper spots so the valve does not touch the front wheel fork. this video shows where the hole was drilled in the wheel shell, but I actually drilled slightly higher/closer to the center (where you see the lip in the shell).

Thank you so much for making this video! Main thing I hated about my AOVO pro was how horrible the ride quality was with these solid tires. I just got done doing this conversion and it rides 100x better! Cost me $40 and took maybe 2 hours since I am a pretty handy fella. Thanks again! You're awesome!

Dang ​@DenverDeCoY ! That's one way to kill poor ​​@yunhai1918 dream of a smooth ride. Lol. Will the wheels already on the AOVO pro hold tires + tubes? What are some tools you feel make the job easier that are not shown in the video? It would be a much greater help if there was commentary. I sure hope there is 8.5" tubes that have liquid patch/fix a flat. If it takes that much time to switch out tires that would definitely be some help. Some of these bumps are so bad it shakes my eyes so much it's blur to see.

Can confirm that this works. The key is to heat up the tires when removing and installing as well as soapy water...this will make the job sooo much easier. For mine, i had to get the tire valve extension for the front wheel as the valve on the inner tube was too short when poking put outside the wheel to place a pump socket onto it when inflating.

Finally found this vid. Coz i want to change my tire into air filled . To bumpy with does solid tires. I need to upgrade the suspension 😮 but overall AOVOPRO was good enough

Gracias. Fue de gran ayuda. Ya hice la conversión en el mío

I upgraded to 10” air tyres and what a massive upgrade to ride quality!!!

@The Flyte this is because the tyre is 150mm and the tyre is probably 155mm so it doesn’t sit flush or one side always doesn’t quite pop up, giving a wobble. I got past this by using a bobbin sander to open up the inside of the tyre just enough so it sat right. I have since got some better tyres that fit properly. Also i kept getting inner tubes splitting on the rim side and that was due to the large gulley causing the inner tube to stretch in the area. I filled it with dense sponge. Been perfect since

Hi thanks for the suggetsion❤ do you have the link for that?

I've recently purchased one myself. The 2024 model that is. I've written to go tracks with pneumatic tires prior to this purchase and I'm most likely going to be looking upgrade right away. Just for the ride quality. Do you have a link for the kit you speak of?

Hey Electronic Scooters Thanet! Where do the conductive metal shavings that end up inside the motor cover go? Not a good thing to have loose inside an electric motor!

Helpful👍

Very nice mod imo. I think i have to do that to my aovopro as well. Have you had any problems with driving pneumatic tyres? Im just wondering if its leaking water directly to the engine when driving in rainy weather.
