Fixing a solid rubber tire

Family member brought their electric Scooter over to see if I could repair the rear tire.

The repair is meant to be temporary until the replacement tire is available.

They use the scooter to get to work where parking is a nightmare.

After some online research I decided to give this product a try:

Opened up the crack with finishing nails and cleaned with Isopropyl alcohol.

Injected as much adhesive as I could into the opening and then clamped it together.


30 seconds for initial bond and 24 hours to fully cured.

I will leave it clamped overnight.
