Scooter tires come in all sizes of course. with a typical 13 wheel scooter tire having a designation something like 130/60-13 . The 13 refers to the wheel rim diameter. The 130/60 part indicates that the width of the tread is 130mm (5.1 ) and that the tire has an aspect ratio of 0.60 (or 60%). which means that the sidewall height is 60% of the width of the tire. Some tires are designed for front wheel use. some for rear wheel use and some can be used on either wheel. Though most tires today are tubeless. there may still be a few tires which require an inner tube. especially on older scooters.

Gas
A spark
Cylinder compression
If your scooter won’t start it due to one of the above not being present. Before you start troubleshooting, make sure there is gas in the tank by actually looking into it. Don’t just trust the gas gauge!
Most scooters have four things that need to be done before they can be started with the electric starter:
The ignition has to be turned on
The kill switch (usually near the right grip) has to be in the “on” position
The rear (left) brake lever has to be squeezed.
The starter button must be pressed.
Some scooters may have other interlocks on the front brake or the center stand. Check your owner’s manual to make sure that you are doing all you need to?? complete the electrical circuit which enables it to start.
If the scooter doesn’t turn over when you’ve done all the required operations, there’s an electrical problem with the battery. Make sure the battery is charged. If it is, make sure the fuse hasn’t blown. If it hasn’t, check to see if you are getting voltage to the starter motor terminals. If you are, the starter motor is likely defective. Many scooters have a kick start (see your manual). If the battery is OK and the starter motor doesn’t work, try kick starting it. It’s usually not too hard. My scooter usually starts OK on the 2nd or 3rd kick.
If the scooter does turn over but still doesn’t start you have to check for a spark and make sure gas is getting to the engine. To check for a spark, remove the spark plug from the cylinder, hold the tip of the plug against the cylinder head and crank the engine. You should see a spark across the gap. If you don’t, there’s a problem with the ignition. Could be a faulty coil or electronic ignition module which will have to be replaced, or it could just be a lose wire.

Scooter Assembly
If you are located in CA, and you are picking up from our retail store, you can choose to have your scooter fully assembled and inspected by our trained mechanics. If you order the scooter through our website, you’ll have some work to do. It will arrive in a steel cage inside a cardboard box.
First remove the cardboard box. This is the easy part! Then you’ll need to take apart the steel cage by removing all the nuts and bolts holding it together. At some point in the process you may need a second person to help you by holding the scooter upright while you remove the last few bolts and possibly the bailing wire used to secure the scooter to the base of the cage. Most of the scooters we carry already have both wheels attached, you can roll it out of the case and set it on the center stand.
Now you can look for “assembly instructions”, which with the average Chinese scooter will be one sheet of paper which says something like “attach the rear view mirrors, install the battery, etc.”. You may have to use some ingenuity to figure out how to do all this, but it shouldn’t be beyond the capabilities of any amateur home mechanic. It may help if you have a decent socket set, screwdriver set and set of metric wrenches since the supplied “tool kit” usually leaves much to be desired.
