Electric scooter tire sizes chart: start with the marking, not a guess
This is a table of typical imperial diameter x width and metric width/aspect-rim marks. Plus this isn't a formal OEM listing. New fit is model-specific, so don't figure a similar size code alone is enough to verify fit. Fleet techs and owners, you should scan the present tire's sidewall first. Next review that scooter handbook. Check both, yes, both. Honestly, skip the guesswork.
You need the chart to spot markings such as 10 x 2.125, 8.5 x 2.0, and 8.5 x 3.0. Also 60/70-6.5 and 80/65-6.
Levy Electric, Hycline, Gadgetcron, and Greenmoov give marking tips that help you decode these styles. Shop lists are not full industry specs. Metric codes list width, aspect ratio, plus rim diameter. Imperial marks usually show listed tire diameter and width in inches.
How to read imperial and metric scooter tire markings
Two usual layouts keep turning up. Levy Electric, Hycline, Gadgetcron, New Image Parts, Speedway Riders NYC, and Greenmoov all run these marks. You'll come across 10 x 2.125, 8.5 x 2.0, and 8 1/2 x 2. Plus 10 x 2, 10 x 2.5, and 8.5 x 3.0. Imperial stamps give stated outer diameter in inches, then the stated width in inches.
Metric codes mix the units. Codes like 80/65-6, 90/65-6.5, and 50/75-6.1 hold the same scheme. In 60/70-6.5, 60 gives the section width in millimeters. 70 stands for aspect ratio as a share of width. And 6.5 marks the rim/bead-seat diameter in inches. Worth noting once: that last figure is still in inches, yes, inches.
Common replacement sizes at a glance
But Levy's list isn't a universal sizing standard. It's a parts-stock chart. Check the marking, then check it again against your model's documentation (fit's what comes first).
| Size marking | Unconfirmed retailer model example |
|---|---|
| 8.5x2.0 / 8.5x2 | Xiaomi/GoTrax |
| 10x2 | Not specified |
| 10x2.125 | Not specified |
| 10x2.5 | Ninebot MAX |
| 60/70-6.5 | Levy |
| 80/65-6 | Model ties unconfirmed |
| 50/75-6.1 | Not specified |
The 8.5x3.0 marking's a wider 8.5-inch option. You'll find 10x2.75, 11-inch, and 12-inch as niche options rather than core stock in this chart. Nearby rows aren't interchangeable, and overlapping 8-, 10-, 11-, and 12-inch class buckets don't establish fit.
Match diameter, width, rim, and construction before you order
10x2 and 10x2.125 don't match in width, and 60/70-6.5 isn't a straight swap for 10x2.5. That same labeled size can be air-filled (tubed or tubeless), solid, or honeycomb. Inch size alone doesn't prove bead seat or rim layout. A 10-inch tire just won't sit on an 8.5-inch rim. Plus 8.5x2, 10x2, 10x2.125, 10x2.5, and 60/70-6.5 are distinct listings. Don't just look once; double-check build and rim match.
Worth noting once: Greenmoov's 5-8 mm gap buffer is no fit promise. It's merely a careful hint. If it's unlabeled, look at the sidewall, then the handbook. Else gauge the diameter and width at the fattest tread. Round it to a usual size. New Image Parts flags it. Just 2-3 mm of added width can cause rub on M365 and GoTrax GXL V2 scooters. It hardly takes much.
Choosing a diameter class for how you actually ride
Kick off with the course you ride. Around 10 inches supplies that typical city-commute mix. You'll notice the 8-8.5 inch class fits portability and brief hops on even surfaces. You want 11-12 inch tires for bigger or bumpier decks. They give extra curb climb. Extra bulk and harder steering come with it. Still not bad.
Don't view the 3-5 inch fat-tire span as a performance lock (it's ad speak, that's all). Breadth counts as well. You'll gain extra side hold from a fatter tire. A cushier feel comes versus a slimmer tire of matching diameter and type.
If a size swap is on your mind, heed Buffseek's caution. Check fit first rather than guessing a new diameter or width will work.
FAQ
A 10x2.5 can't swap in for an 8.5x2.0 tire without maker-confirmed compatibility. That includes rim fit and frame or fender clearance. But pictures aren't enough. 60/70-6.5 isn't a straight swap for 10x2.5 by default either. Check the tire specs and approved fitment rather than similar stamps.
Worth noting once: it's not worth the guess.
Don't buy until you've confirmed the model, the exact model. If the sidewall marking's rubbed away, look in your scooter's handbook, parts list, or original tire order. Measuring the used tire by itself can't truly establish its replacement size. You'll need to contact the maker to pick the approved tire using the scooter's model and wheel details.
Use only a build that's approved for your scooter's wheel. Matching size figures don't make tube-type, tubeless, and solid tires swappable.
Use the chart as a decoder, then confirm the part
Call it a decoder. Begin with that. A close row doesn't prove compatibility. It isn't a match promise, though it'll aid you in reading tire stamps and spotting typical sizes.
Don't buy until you've reviewed the existing tire and vehicle handbook. You need matching diameter, width, rim and bead needs, plus tube versus tubeless type.
Keep those records apart, yes, even when the tags look alike (they're distinct stock). For fleet teams, adjacent chart lines aren't one blanket fit. Worth noting once. If the stamps and handbook don't line up, confirm the spec with the maker before picking a swap.
