Front tire change
« on: June 10, 2021, 10:08:56 PM »
What is a reasonable price to have a tire putt on the front of my Bet and Win scooter? Would any shop be able to do this.

Prices really vary shop to shop and from area to area.  I normally pay $25 for a mount and balance when I bring in the front wheel.  It's more if I bring the whole bike in but I forget what I paid.

Any motorcycle shop should be able to handle a scooter front tire change.  The rear tire is a bit more complicated but most shops should be able to handle that as well.

"Reasonable" ?
Reasonable is what my lone scooter/motorcycle shop wanted. $40 if I bring in the wheel & new tire. They don't balance scooter tires (nor does the closest actual "scooter shop", 45 miles distant.)
Hourly shop rate was $108 per hour.
Put scooter on lift, pull front wheel, dismount the tire, remount the new tire, install wheel on scooter....probably close to 1 hour shop time.
Save a lot of $ by blocking up your scooter - unbolting axle and taking you wheel in to the shop.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

FWIW, it's not difficult to change your own tire. They're small and don't put up much of a fight.
