    Inflating your scooter’s tires Both the front and rear tires on the e4.5 are pneumatic, meaning they need to be kept inflated at the proper air pressure to work properly. Just like a car tire, the proper inflation pressure is molded into the sidewall of the tire. Unlike a car, it is best to inflate your scooter’s tires with a hand pump (usually sold for inflating bicycle tires), to avoid overfilling.
