How to Avoid Flat Tires on Electric Scooter Adults with Seats

It is annoying when you are happened to find your flat electric scooter for adults with seats. Sudden accident sometimes ruins our plan or even causes some danger while riding. 

Therefore, getting knowledge of how your electric scooters get flat tires can help a lot. Just some simple attention can largely reduce such things happening.

So, what mostly causes flat tires?

• Get punctured by a sharp object

Puncture of the inner tube of the tire by a sharp object is the most common cause.
Any sharp object that can puncture into your tire's inner tube, such as glass, nails, gravel heads, etc., is likely to cause direct damage to your inner tube.

If the roads you ride on are flat and clean concrete roads, then you are lucky that you may not run into the bad luck of a tire puncture for months.

However, if you're into off-road riding and it's usually strewn with gravel, lots of gravel roads, and a bumpy ride. Then, flat tires may be a common occurrence. It's hard for even the best tires to withstand such a situation.

• Unsuitable tire pressure
  When the air inside the tire is insufficient or too much, if you accidentally hit a curb, or brake sharply and hit an object, the worn tire is more likely to be punctured this time. Therefore, it is necessary to simply check the tire pressure before riding.

• Strong hit

A strong hit is also another reason that causes a flat tire on your scooter. 

When you are riding at a high speed and suddenly hit an obstacle or the rim of the road, a puncture can happen quite often. 

• Defective tire

Most of the riders will carefully wipe the dirt out of the tires or just wipe off the water on the tires. However, it is often quite hard to protect the tires from getting flat. They often overlook the cracks of the tires or the wear and tear so the tires get punctured more likely while riding. 

• Wrong tire installation

If you are not confident in changing the tires on your own, it is advisable to get someone professional to help you out.

Incorrect tire installation can also increase the chances to get flat.

Always install the tires quite fit against the rim before mounting the tires and remember to follow the right rotation arrow sign on the side of the tire, which can prolong the tires' lifespan and reduce wear and tear. 

How to avoid flat tires on electric scooters and adults with seats?

According to the factors causing a flat tire, what we can do to avoid flat tire situations? Here are some useful suggestions below.

• Do a regular check

Always checking your tires before riding or after rides is a great choice to prevent flat tires. Make sure the tires are in good condition, such as the suitable tire pressure, and no worn-out tires or cracks.

• Ride sensibly

Do not ride at a crazy speed on an uneven road which will highly reduce the accidents of hitting anything strongly.  Riding at a smart and stable speed can not only protect your tires but also prolong the lifespan of your electric scooter adult with seats.

• Clean the tires 

The debris lingering on the tires can damage the tires and get your tires worn out thus leading to easy flat tires happen. 

Just do a simple clean by wiping off the debris on the tire with a wet rag. 

• Change the old tires if needed

Worn-out or old tires are not capable to protect the inner tube of the tires, thus you are more inclined to get flat tires while riding. 

At this moment, it will be wiser to replace the old tires with new ones for comfortable and great scooting. 

• Avoid the tough road

If it is possible, take the flat road to ride your scooter. Uneven roads are more likely to puncture your tires even if you are careful to ride and at a low speed. 

Conclusion

Although we can't avoid flat tire cases, we can reduce such problems by simply sticking to the rules above. 

Regular maintenance can help prolong the usage of tires. Hope you have a flat-tire free scooting!
