How to Remove the Rear Tire of a Scooter?

Remove the bracket of the right rear shock absorber. Some right shock absorbers may obstruct the removal of the rear wheel, so it's necessary to detach the right rear shock absorber. Step on the wrench After loosening the nut, gently tap and vibrate the rear axle with a hammer to loosen the splines between the rear wheel and the axle, then the rear wheel can be removed.
I remember changing tires was really a routine task. Before getting started, park the car on a flat surface and engage the handbrake firmly to prevent rolling. Take out the jack, locate the support points under the frame, and slowly lift until the wheel is off the ground—don't raise it too high. There are several lug nuts on the wheel hub; use a tire wrench to loosen them one by one but don’t remove them completely, or the wheel might get stuck. Then remove the hub nuts or bolts, and gently push to take off the old tire. After installing the new one, tighten the screws evenly, using a crisscross pattern to ensure balance. Finally, lower the car slowly and check if the tire pressure is appropriate. I recommend keeping a spare tire and a toolkit handy for emergencies—don’t wait until you’re stranded on the road to panic. When the tire wear reaches the indicator line, it’s time to replace them promptly; otherwise, they can easily skid in the rain, which is quite dangerous.
