Care & Maintenance
Wheels and Tyres
The wheels of your
Shoprider
® scooter have split rims. This allows any punctures to be repaired easily.
To change the wheels remove the center 13 mm bolt and slide the wheel off its axle. Take care not to lose the drive key on the
rear wheels. When changing a tyre you must deflate the tyre first. Remove the four bolts to split the rim if required. Ensure
that when refitting the wheel the retaining bolt is fitted with a locking washer (with drive key for the rear wheel). Tyre
pressure is recommended to be kept at 30 psi on the rear tyres and 25 psi on the front. Note when refitting the tube a small
amount of air in the tube will prevent the tube from pinching when reassembling the split rim.
CAUTION: On the tyre it states maximum tyre pressure is 50psi. This is a maximum tyre pressure and the tyres
should never be inflated to this pressure.
ATTENTION: Tyres should be maintained at the correct pressure noted above to ensure even wear and
ride comfort.
