Let's be real: Changing an E-Scooter tire is zero fun
You know the drill: You just want to fix that flat, you're in the basement, and an hour later you've got two bent screwdrivers, scratched rims, and still no new tube. To be honest? That's totally normal. These small 8.5 or 10-inch tires are incredibly stiff and without special tools, you'll practically break your fingers. But why haul the whole scooter across the country? Just ship us the wheel!
In our workshop in Ludwigsburg, we see this every day. Wheels arrive half "fixed-to-death". From our experience, you save a ton of time and trouble by leaving it to the pros right away. And the best part: it's often much cheaper than you'd think, especially considering what a new motor costs if you accidentally rip the cable while tinkering.

Small workshop tip for removal
When removing the wheel, watch out like a hawk for those small washers and spacers. We often see them ending up in the recycling with the packaging. Best to put them in a small bag and tape it firmly to the wheel or keep them separate!
How it works: The mail-in service
Remove the wheel (don't worry, we have <a href="https://escooterreparaturen.de/de/ratgeber/wartung-pflege/e-scooter-reparaturen-anleitungen-und-tipps-zur-instandhaltung">guides</a> for that).
Fill out the repair order online or send a quick WhatsApp inquiry.
Pad the wheel safely in the box (protect the brake disc!) and send it off.
We usually fix it within 24-48h and it goes straight back to you.
Many underestimate the sheer force needed for some e-scooter tires. If you work without a mounting machine, you've basically lost before you even start prying.
