- Sorry for the low audio, I'll upload a better video using another scooter later.
Got my first flat tire on the Apollo Ghost back in November and filmed this video applying red label green Slime to the rear punctured tire, and pre slimed my front to avoid future punctures. Works with any pneumatic tire. 3oz fixed my back tire, and have had 0 issues since I did this a month ago. Link for Slime red label- www.amazon.ca/...
All right👍👍. Good job & tips. Video volume was very low! Thanks. 😎
sorry about the volume :/ I didn’t realize that camera wouldn’t pick up sound from a foot away without an external mic lol. Picks up sound great while on a chest mount…but useless once it’s a foot away haha. Appreciate you watching regardless :)
Would love to get my hands on some Armor Dilloz "Military Grade Tire Sealant" for my new Hybrids...but its over twice the price for half the amount..I'm sure it's worth the $$$ but Slime's held me down so far
what electric air pump do you use for the ghost v1?
One I have is called “Dr Meter” but I can’t find it on Amazon anymore. There are lots of good choices on there tho, the Xiaomi one is very popular and compact but they all do the same thing. It’s def something I recommend any PEV owner add to their kit.

Curious if this ended up working for you and sealing the puncture?
hey bro, in the description it says "3oz fixed my back tire, and have had 0 issues since I did this a month ago." I filmed this early in November and its held up no issues since. I've ridden on and off road in freezing temps(see my crash last week :/ ) ua-cam.com/video/uDhb5cfPXB4/v-deo.html took some damage but no issues with either tires. I recommend using 4oz per tire so you can do 4 tires per 16oz bottle. Haven't gotten a flat on any scooter I pre Slimed..was too lazy to pre Slime the Ghost, and got a flat in a week..lol.
"Prevent and repair flat tires with Slime Tube Sealant. Once installed, Slime works instantly and repeatedly, sealing punctures for up to 2 years.
Instantly Seals Punctures up to 1/8" (3mm) using FibroSeal Technology" - copy and pasted fr Amazon
I don't know about the up to 2 years part, but up to 3mm will cover most punctures unless a pinch flat tears the tube... but pinch flats are from under inflating and easily preventable. I suggest a tire sealant on all pneumatic tires to prevent punctures beforehand, but it does work 90% of the time on existing punctures. Def worth trying before replacing the inner tube, a bottle costs less than a single tube, and if you end up having to replace the tube, you'll have sealant on hand to pre slime your new tube and help prevent having to do it again, cheers
I altas have flats with Apollo they got flat all the time I need tubless
just put on some hybrid tyres and good 2 go

@@christianb8228 naw I wish, split rims, tubed 10x3/255-80 or 80/65-6 depending the tyre.I run Tuovt Hybrid 255x80’s since that ghost stock tire popped a 3rd tune back in ‘21. But Slime fixed 2 punctures in the same tube and I’ve
Got Armour Dilloz X Alien Rides sealant now tho I haven’t put any in as a pre coat and no flats. Since i switched to hybrids. Much thicker nylon + each knobby is another layer of production between the tube and tyre. So for my use cases Tuovt > PMT…
How pull out tire valve?
It unscrews. The top of the slime bottle is a valve tool, use it to unscrew. It works…but you can get a metal one for cheap too
