Remove reflectors

When you've ensured you've required tools, you can place the bike on top of a chair or table. Just remember it will be front heavy later, when you remove the rear wheel. So ensure it's stable

Start by removing the reflectors. You'll need need something thing, sharp and strong. I used a tiny crowbar. Then you need to take the crowbar and insert it on the side facing away from the tail light and gently move it in under the reflector, until it pops out

Remove the reflector holder

After the reflector is removed, you can remove the two hex screws and the reflector holder will come off

I normally put all the screws belonging to one side, inside the holder of the side to keep track of them

Remove the screw for tire axis and mudguard support

Now that the reflector holder is off, you'll have access to the screws for the wheel axis and rear mudguard support

After they're removed, you can do the same steps on the other side and the wheel should be loose

Mudguard screws

Now that the wheel screws and mudguard support screws are loosened. It's time to remove the three screws for the mudguard, to access them you'll need tweezers (or a small knife), so you can go in between the rubber covers and flip them up

Do notice there's two different kind of screws and covers being used. The screws also have different color, to make it easier to differentiate

Remove light power screws

Now you'll need an hex with a long extension, as the screws are hard to reach. I choose to lay down under the eScooter, to make it easier to see and access the screws

After you've removed the two screws, for the power cable to the light. You can also choose to disconnect the power, but this is optional

Remove wheel

Now that the mudguard and wheel is disconnected. If you didn't disconnect the power cable for rear light, you can just gently lift up the rear mudguard. Please note that you need to slide it slight backwards (away from the bike), to take it out of the holders. Just be gentle, so you don't damage the power cable. If you disconnected the power cable for the rear light, you can just put the mudguard aside

Then you can slide out the wheel, straight backwards. Do notice that the sides of the wheel rim, connecting the bike and the wheel. Are not completely round, but are flat on two sides. These needs to align, later when you put the a wheel back onto the eScooter

Now that the wheel is off, you can proceed replacing the tire

This is how you remove the rear wheel. If you want to put on a wheel, then follow this guide in reverse
