Electric unicycle tire and tube change, picked up from your door
A flat on an electric unicycle is not a roadside fix: on most wheels the motor has to come out. We pick the wheel up, change the tire or tube on the bench, put every cable back where it was and bring it back.
Models we see: InMotion V11, V12, V13, V14; Begode Master, Extreme, Blitz, T4; King Song S18, S19, S22, F22, 16X; Veteran Sherman, Patton, Lynx; Onewheel Pint and GT.
What it does, what failed, what it costs
| Symptom | Usual cause | What we do | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat, or slowly losing air over a day or two | Puncture, a pinch flat from low pressure, or a valve torn at the base | Tube replaced, tire checked inside for the cause, pressure set for your weight | from $149 |
| Tire worn flat in the middle or down to the cords | Normal wear; street tires on heavy wheels go in 1,500–3,000 miles | New tire and tube (or tubeless tire), bead seated, wheel balance-tested | from $149 + tire |
| Tire rubs the shell or the mudguard after a change | A wider tire than stock, or the motor sitting off-center | Motor centered, spacers checked; a tire that is too wide is shaved or swapped | from $149 |
| Wheel jerks or beeps right after a DIY tire change | A hall-sensor plug unplugged under power or a pinched lead | Hall connector and leads repaired, board checked — see the guide below | from $199 |
| Swap to a knobby off-road or a street tire | Different riding: trails, or more range on pavement | Tire fitted and the pressure set for it; we tell you which fit your shell | from $149 + tire |
Prices are "from", with labor and ordinary parts; "+ part" means the part is extra. We pick the wheel up and bring it back for $145, credited toward the repair. The final price comes after the diagnostic, and nothing is done until you approve it. All prices and the warranty →
Tire change labor by model
Plus the tire or tube. The price depends on how much of the wheel comes apart, not on the tire.
| Tier | Models | Why | Labor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | InMotion V9, V12, V12 HT, V12 Pro; King Song 16X, 18XL, 16S; Begode T4, EX.N, A2 | No suspension: shell off, motor out, tire changed, everything back with the cables routed as they were | $149 |
| Suspension wheels | InMotion V11Y, V12S, V13, V14; Begode Master, Master Pro, Extreme, Blitz, EX30, ET Max, Falcon; Leaperkim Sherman, Lynx, Patton; King Song S16 Pro, S19, S22, F18, F22; Extreme Bull Commander; Nosfet Apex | The suspension and the frame come apart first; 18–22 inch motorcycle tires need heat and spoons | $199 |
| Hardest | InMotion V11; King Song S18 | The motor comes out only after most of the shell and the suspension are stripped | $249 |

What the price includes
- Pickup and return in Southern California, and a written quote before any work.
- The motor out and back in with every connector, cable tie and grommet where the factory put it.
- A spin test on the stand and a hall-sensor check in the app before the wheel goes back.
- Tire and tube of your choice; we source the right size for your wheel or fit the one you have.
- 30-day warranty on our work, 90 days on the parts we fit.
Before we pick it up
- Ride or let it sit down to about half charge. Do not charge it to full the night before.
- If you already bought the tire, tell us the size and we fit it.
- Send the charger along if you want a charge-port check while it is open.
- Tell us the exact model when you book: a Master Pro or a Sherman L needs two people to lift.
Questions
How much does an electric unicycle tire change cost?
From $149 on wheels without suspension, $199 on suspension wheels and $249 on the InMotion V11 and King Song S18, plus the tire. The table on this page lists the models.
Why is an EUC tire change more than a bike tire?
Because the tire sits around the motor inside the shell. On most wheels the shell comes off, the motor is unplugged and taken out, the tire is changed with heat and motorcycle spoons, and everything goes back with the hall cables routed as before. That takes one to three hours.
Can I just patch the tube?
On a small hole you can, but most EUC flats are pinch flats or valve tears, which a patch does not fix. Since the wheel is open anyway, we fit a new tube.
Do you do tubeless conversions?
Where the rim is made for it, yes: King Song and some Begode and Veteran wheels take a tubeless tire. Ask with your model and we tell you.
What if it is not worth repairing?
If you say no to the quote, the $145 covers the pickup, the diagnostic and bringing the wheel back, and that is all you pay.
We also repair batteries and chargers, boards after a cutout or crash, InMotion, Begode, King Song, Leaperkim Veteran, Extreme Bull and Nosfet and Onewheel with pickup across Southern California.
