Review on Durable Solid Tire for Xiaomi Mi m365 / gotrax gxl V2 Electric Scooter – Kunovo Product Review by Giovanni Bedjohn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for changing wheels so far

I've had tires for 4 months now. I did the installation myself and they hold up well. Installation: Before installing I watched a few videos. Boil water in a large saucepan and let it boil for a few minutes. Place the splint and cover the pot with a lid, leave the splint on for 10-15 minutes. Get some heavy duty heat resistant gloves, motorcycle tire hangers (this makes things a lot easier), heavy duty zip ties (I have a 12" that can hold 50 pounds). Once you get the tire off work, get to work quickly because the tire is soft. Start on one side and start adding zip ties to hold it in place, use a pry bar to continue installing the tire and add zip ties to hold it in place . I used about 4 zip ties and in the last part I used 2 pry bars to snap them into place. Once the tire is on, make sure to move it around a bit with your hands to make sure it's centered on the rim. After the installation I didn't ride the scooter until the next day. Ride: Yes the ride is bumpier (especially my scooter doesn't have shock absorbers) but for me it's worth it. I no longer have to worry about apartments. Speed and battery life are almost the same, minimal battery drain, but not worth it for any glitches.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as fat as other options
