What is the appropriate tire pressure for a scooter?
1 Answers
Scooter front tire pressure should be maintained at 2.0 bar, and the rear tire pressure should be maintained at 2.5 bar. Methods for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, you can directly inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If inspection reveals a puncture, promptly drive to a tire shop for repair and then reinflate; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect the wheel rim and replace it if necessary. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass, the tire is more prone to punctures, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, or even tire bursts.
