How to change the tires on a Mid Drive, Carbon Belt E-Bike

I changed my Mid-Drive, Carbon Belt e-bike tires this week and it was way easier than I thought. I decided to make a video about it when we changed Ian’s bike tires because there isn’t a lot of information out there on how to do it yourself.

This will be useful if you get a flat tire or if you want to switch over between your regular tires and your winter or studded ones.

Our e-bikes are TuffHill e-bikes, designed in Calgary, Canada, and built to be used year-round, even in harsh winters. Check them out here: https://www.tuffhillebikes.com/shop

Tools needed: Tire lever, 16mm wrench, and a tire pump.
Tires: Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro 27.5 x2.25 - you can also buy them from here in Canada: https://www.tuffhillebikes.com/produc... or your local bike shop.

I used a yoga pillow to prop up the front of the bike, but you can use any pillow or blocks or just a blanket on the floor so that you don’t scratch up your controls.

I made a little mistake when I reconnected all the cables, but I’ll talk about it in the video and explain to you what I did wrong so that you don’t do the same.

We love our TuffHill e-bikes and highly recommend them, especially if you live in Canada. Our video review of the bikes is here:    • E-Bike Review: TuffHill E-bikes - Made for...  

I also made a video talking about how I get dressed to handle riding my bike in winter and I have a link to all the products I use here:    • How I, a Brazilian woman, dress for Winter...  

I was a guest on BikeTalk podcast and talked about Critical Mass and how we need to claim our space on the roads. You can listen to it here: on.soundcloud.com/XYXa9

The outdoor parts of this video were shot on my Insta 360 x3 and if you’d like to get one, I highly recommend it, especially for cold weather as the battery lasts over an hour in -30C and the image quality is perfect for capturing those pesky license plates!
