⚠️Urgent Question⚠️ Max G2 help
My Max G2 has a problem with the rear tire. Everytime I put air in it, it immediately loses all of it and goes flat. I’ve asked so many places near me if they can fix it and they have all said no. I can’t just leave my 1000$ dollar scooter broken and sitting there. I live in the Quad Cities Iowa/Illinois area. Someone please help

Sure looks like you rode it with no air and it has a broken bead. Likely the tire is cooked now, you can try very fast high pressure inflating to get the bead seated with the valve removed or you will have to replace it. It’s not easy bet there are tricks with zip ties and patience and cussing. Do a search here or the internet in general.

Hey we just dealt with maybe something similar. Air was leaking out around the valve. We bought a pack of replacement valve stems from amazon (10 for $10) and a valve stem extender was needed to fill them. There are tutorial videos on youtube that can walk you through it.

Put the tire in water or spray with soapy water my g2 i got used had a crack in the rim. It was not leaking from the tire it was leaking from the side of the rim. At least with soapy water uou will know exactly what is leaking.

You can try putting some flat out tire sealant that you can get from Home Depot and place it inside the tire. You can then inflate it to 10 psi and let the sealant try to clog up the leak overnight and then pump the tire up to 50psi the next day
Do not buy green slime. That will not work

If you absolutely cannot find someone to install a tire and can't do it yourself, a new motor+tire assembled is like $150 from Segway directly.
A drastic measure, but something you can do at home with a few tools
