How hard is it to replace a tire on this shit? I got an entire e bike for free and all it needs is a new tire and master cylinder (for brakes). I live in a city of 1.5m people and there isnt a single place that fixes e bikes REEEE

And where the fuck do you buy parts online? Ebay wants $130 for a fucking TIRE

Tires for my Accord are like $89 each.

You probably need a 15mm wrench, and then your turn a nut counter clockwise, remove nut on other side, use tire levers
????
Profit!

Actually no profit, you're way in the negative

As opposed to what the fuck else? I see why you're having problems here, man.
You're buying a tire, not an innertube for a bicycle. That's not a bad price. A new pair of shoes for a car could run you over $300

Do you have any recommendations for Youtubers or blogs on working on these things?

You are better off taking it somewhere, man. Hopefully you can't find anyone and it keeps you off the road.
People too stupid to pedal, shouldn't think about wrenching.

Do you have a drunk scooter (49cc) store in town? They will probably have a tire that fits and maybe a master cylinder which will work.
These ebikes are beyond stupid. Too slow to keep up with even 35mph city traffic, too heavy to carry, not appropriate for sidewalks. A cheap, 150cc motorcycle beats it in every way.

There are a bunch of independent stores that sell both e-bikes and scooters but none of them do repairs, even on their own models

Yeah honestly if it wasn’t for the fact that I got it for free I wouldn’t have even accepted it. Gas is going up and I want something to ride around in town in the summer.

No. It’s either drive or use this scooter.

Most do repairs of their own models. Look for dealer networks, unless you have an unknown chinese scooter, somebody will do it.
Also look at motorcycle shops.
But the following have pretty good service networks
>Vespa/Piaggio
>Genuine
>Yamaha
>Toyota
>Lance
>Kymco
>Suzuki
>BMW
I can't imagine a city of 1.5M wouldn't have somebody who can repair it? Assuming you live in muttland you are either in SD or philly? (Two cities with ~1.5M)

dont go to places that fix ebikes, because ebike usually means bicycles with batteries, scooters are a level above on the tech tree, whether electric or not
go to a place that fixes petrol scooters, they'll jerry rig something up for you
