A guide to the correct air pressure for electric scooters
Having the correct air pressure in the tires of your electric scooter is essential for both performance and safety. Here at wheelyshop.se, we value not only your riding experience but also your safety and long-term investment. Let's explore why proper air pressure is so important and how it can improve your rides.
Why is air pressure important for electric scooter tires?
Keeping the correct air pressure in your electric scooter tires is the key to a safe and efficient riding experience. Correct tire pressure not only helps prevent punctures, which can be frustrating and costly, but also helps improve driving performance and extend tire life.
To avoid punctures, it is recommended to monitor your tire pressure at least twice a month. This simple maintenance measure can prevent damage to the inner tube and extend the life of the tires.
The importance of the right tire pressure for your weight:
To further optimize your driving experience, consider your weight when adjusting the tire pressure. We've created a simple guide based on rider weight to help you find the optimal front and rear tire pressure.
| Driver's Weight (kg) | Front wheel (PSI) | Rear wheel (PSI) |
|---|---|---|
| 50-70 | 35-40 | 40-50 |
| 70-90 | 40-45 | 45-55 |
| 90-100 | 45-50 | 50-60 |
| Over 100 | 50-55 | 60-65 |
Tips on the adapter and valve extensions:
We understand that some challenges may arise with the standard adapter. To optimize pumping and avoid air leakage, we recommend investing in a valve extension . Alternatively, a portable compressor or pump can be a worthwhile investment to ensure your tires are properly inflated and ready for your next adventure.
