Changing and inflating the front tyre
To change the front tyre you will need:
Your YikeBike tool kit
The large 4mm allen key (YikeBike tool kit)
The valve adapter (YikeBike tool kit)
Plastic tyre levers (bought
from a local Bike shop)
Puncture repair kit (if needed)
Tyre inflator
1. Place the YikeBike on a table with
the left handle bar folded up so
the YikeBike can lay flat.
2. Make sure the front latch is latched to
prevent the baseplate coming off the
fork. Then use the large allen key to
unfasten the three screws on the right
hand side of the YikeBike cover plate.
3. Remove the cover plate gently to
reveal the inside of the YikeBike.
4. Use the plastic tyre levers to remove
the tyre from the wheel - be careful of
the sharp gears when doing so.
5. You can now change the tyre or repair the
inner tube just like on a normal bicycle.
6. Half inflate the inner tube before
placing it back into the wheel cavity.
7. Place the valve back into the valve hole
making sure it is flush with the side of
the wheel (i.e. not sticking out).
8. Make sure the inner tube is
distributed evenly with no folds.
9. Stretch the tyre over the rim of the wheel
also making sure it is distributed evenly.
10. Using the tyre inflator with the valve
adapter connected, press the adapter
onto the valve, make sure you use your
thumb to press underneath the valve to
stop it from disappearing into the wheel
cavity. Inflate the tyre to 65 psi.
11. Refit of coverplate - make sure it pulls
down fully onto fork face and metal bridge
piece with no gap and refasten the three
screws using the large allen key.
To inflate the front tyre
You can inflate the front tyre by exposing the valve
behind at the front wheel when the YikeBike is
unfolded and attaching the Valve adapter.
