Good product, visit a bike shop to get it installed for you
Product works well, see below some pros/cons to help you decide whether it's the right one for you. Great customer service.Pros:- No more flat tyres so risk of being delayed- Don't have to ever change tyres (extremely painful)Cons:- this type of tyre is a bit heavier, so expect a really slight deterioration in speed/range. It won't get much worse, nothing to really worry about- steering will be a tiny bit different, simply due to the different structure of the tyre. Again, easy to get used toOne last piece of advice:Don't waste your time trying to install it yourself. Unless your a really experienced bike/car mechanic, you'll spend hours and hours whilst the local bike shop can do it fairly easily

Smoother ride than previous solid tires
First I want to say that I am happy with the final result, the tire is good, although you can fell it going on its sides on the corners. (I believe it is because of its square-ish shape instead of round, should became better with use). In the end, it is wonderful to know that I won't go through another flat again. I have already changed the back tire for a solid in the past, and I was really afraid that it would be too bumpy on the road to have both solid. I have to say that this model is different and much smoother than previous solid models. The front wheel is also harder to change. I spent 30-40 minutes to do it all. I follow that recipe 1) disassemble completely the wheel, remove the tire and clean the wheel 2) boil enough water to submerge the tire. 2) turn the fire off and let the tire on the hot water for 20 min. 3) use 2-3 drops of washing-up liquid to make the inner side of the tire slippery 4) Put it in place like in the video. You will need 2 tools to put it in place, and I would recommend 2 people if you are doing it for the first time. It is not hard after you do it some times. But you need to be really firm and steady with your hands. (I have used an old long screwdriver to help)

Good but be prepared.
Just wanted to give other potential buyers out there a heads up about fitting the tyre. I was able to install it on a Xiaomi m365 rear wheel in less than 30 minutes but it was far from an easy experience.I can’t really fault the product for this - it is an aftermarket solution and the fitment issues are inevitable given the nature of things. Plus, anyone who has changed a regular tyre on one of these scooters knows that that is no walk in the park either...In addition to the supplied extra long tyre lever it is a good idea to have one or two smaller ones to help it on. I found it useful to use cable ties to ensure that the tyre did not slip off the rim as I worked my way around. This won’t be possible in the front wheel of a scooter which is a little terrifying given how difficult it already was on the rear... As instructed, soak in soapy boiling water for 10 mins and be generous with a rubber-friendly lubricant. I used one designed for car brake pins. Be patient and keep going, the rubber will stretch out just enough. I ended up using a screwdriver through the cushion holes to seat the tyre properly once it had cleared the rim. Bearing in mind that I only installed on the back wheel the ride feels very similar to pneumatic tyres but I would imagine that if you swapped both or just the front tyre for this product you would experience a harsher ride and diminished range. Final tip is to remove the disk brake before install as the process requires a lot of manhandling and you don’t want to bend it! Good luck and happy riding.

Better than the solid plastic tyres it came with!
Weren't too difficult to fit, soaked the tyres for 20 minutes in hot (not boiling) water. Took about 10 minutes of grunting to ease each one on. Don't use grease! Use dish soap!I used electricians screwdrivers as tyre levers which are covered in rubber to keep the wheel damage to a minimum.The scooter was a KUGOO ES2. I have noticed no loss in speed and the ride comfort is so much better. I can't compare these to pneumatic tyres as my scooter didn't come with them, but that's a bonus. You can't miss something you never had...

No more flat tyre = happy scootering
Two flat tyres in a year got me to purchase this, takes about 30 mins to install, comes with the useful tire lever tool which is very handy in the process, leave in boiling water for about 30 mins, add fairy liquid and it goes on quite easily, do make sure that the tyre is on the correct way round, one inner edge is thinner in diameter also I would recommend taking the disc brake off as I cut my self twice, it's quite sharp on the edges. Good luck.

Dangerous
This tyre is dangerous in a scooter, it may be easier to fit, but the shape does not allow minimal leaning. There is a reason why 2 wheels vehicles tyre are more rounded than car tyres. This tyre may be good for a kart, but not a scooter.To make things worse, the pattern its pretty superficial, perfect combination to increase chances of falling down.

You will scratch a rim anyway. I had no bad driving feelings
Like in reviews and instruction. 20 minutes at 80 celsius water, bit of washing liquid, motorbike tyre levers (300mm length on amazon 3 pound each-needed two of them). Instalation took me around 3 minutes. No problems at all. I decided to change a tyre becouse its impossible to put a valve inside a rim into a front whell in xiaomi m365 pro. Valve is too long and they put it before puting a motor inside a rim.

Recommend
i bought this as a temp solution until my reinforced tyres arrive, however I'm so happy with this tyre that I bought another one to fully replace air tyres. Sure you sacrifice a little on comfort and speed, but it's worth it. No more punctures for me 😉BTW, just put tyre in very hot water for 10 minutes and rub a little fairy on the rim and tyre before fitting. I almost didn't need tools... Almost.
