Is it possible to replace/change es2 front wheel?
 
Hey guys, I’ve just had my es2 with the external battery for about 10 days now, and the front wheel is soon to be «out of» pattern...

Now, you might think that I am using the scooter irresponsibly, but I’m really not.

So I have contacted the seller about this problem to see if the tire can be changed without need to buy a new motor as well, but he haven’t come up with no answer yet.

Some of you es2 or es4 owners got to have the same problem as me, or might it be anything wrong with my scooter in the first place?

Thank you so much for any replies !!

Owner -

I am in the same boat as you, but only 2 days in with an ES4 (ES2 + 2nd Battery.)

The tire material for the front wheel is extremely soft rubber as I've been discovering.

Upon a quick "False Start" where i lost traction while balancing + accelerating, the wheel leaves behind copious amounts of rubber into the concrete slab walkway, with no weight upon it at all other than it's own. (I was about to hop on but didn't in this instance.)

All that material shed is not promising for the length this tire is going to last - there must, must be a solution for this beside replacing the entire drive motor, right?

It can’t be done but…
 
It can’t be done but It is a pain and you will need some special tools to do it. I had to rebuild the motor of my brand new ES1. Do your best not to burn up the tire is my advice. They are soft for better grip.
