Replacing the rear tire is a real nightmare.....you are much better off purchasing the entire rear wheel assembly which you can do from the Australian distributors Funtastic for only about $10-$15 more than if you just bought the tire.
To replace the tire you need to use a bench vice which a couple of bolts clamped into it to hold the hub in place.....you then need to remove the sprocket assembly which is a reverse thread......i had to use a hammer and a large flat head screw driver wrapped in a rag so as not to tear up the teeth.
Once you've loosened the sprocket assembly you have to undo the bolts the hold the two sides of the wheel together and the tire will come right off.
All of this would be totally unecessary if they used a tire that you could remove just like any other mini motorcycle tire.
They don;t and so it is what it is.
As I said, next time just buy the whole assemble and then it's very straight forward.
Hope that helps!
The above post isn't totally accurate. You don't need to take the sprocket off at a all. Loosen the axle nuts, take off the wheel, undo the three Allen bolts that keep the wheel together and replace the tire. Put it all back. Takes 10 minutes.
