holy shit that's more work than i was expecting... not going to do these rolling burnouts anymore lol

Great job, thanks for sharing👍🏼👍🏼

Please take note that you need to use security torx for the 5 screws on the rim, super annoying to find out during the repair.. Anyway, thx for the video and the model, looking forward to try out the jig.. Made it with 20% infill and 4 wall lines, hopefully it won't snap :)

Very nice. Well this work on the E25A models too?

The jig is a great idea, but who has access to a 3D printer? If you have a roll of duct tape or two and a couple of hours, a tapered jig can be fashioned. Start out with a diameter of duct tape roll slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tire. Build up layers of duct tape in ~ 10 - 15 mm strips until a taper is generated that ends up the diameter of the metal rim. Cover at the end with a single piece of tape for smoothness. You'll need to cut out wedges from this piece to make it lie flat. Warm the tire up, then place dish soap on the tire and jig. Push the tire onto the jig, pound with rubber hammer as shown by Nate and the tire will be on. I just now did it for a Ninebot ES4 front tire. It really worked well. ForestDweller

So this must be the same procedure for the es3 as I read on Amazon where I just bought my tire from. And how long do these baby wheels last?

@Nateclapp

i don't know how long they last. The ones I am replacing are off former fleet scooters I have pulled from local waterways. I have heard also of people just carving new grooves with a linoleum cutter. Since it is a solid tire I don't see why that wouldn't work, and delay having to pull the tire.

Hey, I'd love to print this out and use this but when I upload the file to Proto Labs for a quote, I have no idea what dimension unit I should use... it offers to print this thing in mm, cm, in, etc, but each selection keeps the default number of "units" (example: X: 50.000 in/mm/cm Y: 149.995 in/cm/mm Z: 149.989 in/cm/mm. I definitely don't want to build this thing to the wrong scale, so I'd like to ask you what units did you design this thing to be printed with? I can't find any specs in the README file or the zip folder. Posted this comment to MakerBot as well. Thanks for sharing.

2nd thought of the day. I do not own a printer. Third part quotes for making this party are absurd levels of costly. Would you be willing to print one of these at materials/labor/shipping cost, if I paid you directly? I would be very interested. I think most of these services are oriented around higher volume orders... I just can't justify paying $70 for a single plastic tool.

@@emmettturner9452 I used PLA and 20% infill. Depending on your hammering you might want more infill. After replacing 3-4 tires w it it spontaneously started to come apart on last one. Probably because it was only 20% infill. But I still got the tire on as it came apart. So 20% will work. More infill will make it more durable.

@@emmettturner9452 one thing I have not done but is an alternative is since tires are solid rubber you could carve some treads in it with a linoleum knife or something. Not sure how good it would work, but certainly faster than pulling whole wheel.

I like how you skipped the part where you actually got the nuts loose. Which direction am I supposed to twist? Why are you using two wrenches? It would have been nice to explain any of that

About the tyres: I've discovered that lots of the "third party" manufactured tyres are slightly softer than the original Ninebot tyres and thus have a massively higher rolling resistance. With these my scooter struggles to keep up the speed even downhill. I have found that these "third party" tyre manufacturers varies in softness and thus the rolling resistance. The harder they are, the better they are. Sure I can buy original Ninebot tyres, but... no way in hell I'm paying $160 per tyre. ($320 for a set of two). NO WAY!

The covers you took off a wheel fork gotta be marked with right or left on inside of the cover.

what a nightmare of a job. Who's got time for this I'd rather buy a new scooter.
