Carefully check the outside and inside of the tire for the cause of the puncture and remove the cause if it is still there.
If the tire is cut, line the inside of the tire in the area of the cut with tape, a spare patch, a piece of inner tube, whatever
will keep the cut from pinching the inner tube.
Either patch the tube (Follow the instructions in your patch kit),or use a new tube. Reinstall the tire and tube. Slip one
tire bead over the rim. Insert the tube valve through its hole in the rim .Feed the tube carefully into the cavity of the tir e.
Inflate the tube just enough to give it some shape. Starting at the valve stem use your thumbs to seat the tire bead
inside the rim. Work your way around both side of the wheel until the entire bead is seated in the rim. Be careful not to
pinch the tube between the tire bead and the wheel rim. If you have trouble getting the last few inches of bead over the
edge of the rim with thumb pressure, use a tire lever and be careful not to pinch the tube.
CAUTION:
If you use a screwdriver or any tool other than a tire lever, you are likely to puncture the tube.
Check to make sure the tire is evenly seated around both sides of the rim and that the tube is inside the tire beads. Push
the valve stem into the tire to make sure that its base is seated within the tire’s beads. Inflate the tube slowly to the
recommended pressure, all the while checking to make sure that the tire beads stay seated in the rim. Replace the valve
cap, and install the wheel onto the E-Bike.
WARNING:
Riding your E-Bike with a flat or under-inflated tire can damage the tire, tube and E-Bike, and can cause you to lose control
and fall.
