Overview

This article explains how to find and maintain the correct tire pressure (PSI) for your scooter. You’ll learn where to locate the recommended PSI for your specific model and see a full list of PSI guidelines for all current scooter models. Keeping your tires at the correct pressure ensures optimal performance, safety, and tire longevity.

Before You Begin

• Ensure your scooter is powered off and stable before checking tire pressure.
• Have a reliable tire pressure gauge on hand.

Solution

Locating the Recommended Tire Pressure

You can always find the manufacturer’s recommended PSI for your scooter printed directly on the side of the tire wall.

1. Inspect the sidewall of each tire on your scooter.

• Locate the printed PSI value or range.
• Always use the value printed on your tire as the primary reference, even if it differs from other documentation.

💡 Tip: Checking the tire wall is the most accurate way to confirm the recommended PSI for your specific tires.

Recommended PSI Levels by Scooter Model

Use the following recommended PSI levels for each scooter model:

• Apollo Air
  • Front tire: 36 PSI
  • Rear tire: 50 PSI
• Apollo City
  • Both tires: 45-50 PSI
• Apollo Go
  • Front tire: 36 PSI
  • Rear tire: 50 PSI
• Apollo Pro
  • Front tire: 50 PSI
  • Rear tire: 50 PSI

⚠️ Note: Always prioritize the PSI indicated on your tire wall over any other documentation or general recommendations.

How to Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

1. Remove the valve cap from your tire.

• Attach the tire pressure gauge to the valve stem.
• Read the current PSI value.
• If needed, add or release air to match the recommended PSI.
• Replace the valve cap securely.

💡 Tip: Check your tire pressure regularly, especially before long rides or if your scooter has been in storage.

Verification

• You should see the recommended PSI printed clearly on the side of each tire.
• After adjusting, confirm both tires match the recommended PSI for your model.
• Your scooter should ride smoothly and handle as expected.
