CST E-SCOOTER TYRE 9.5 X 2.5
The CST 9.5 x 2.50" (C9368) tubeless tyre is the premier aftermarket choice for modern electric scooters, specifically engineered as a high-performance replacement for urban pavement, asphalt, and city commuting.Boasting an optimised road tread pattern, it delivers exceptional driving control, impressive water drainage performance in wet weather, and excellent wear resistance to handle the daily grind of city streets.
By eliminating the traditional inner tube, this vacuum tubeless tyre substantially reduces the risk of pinch flats and blowouts.Its wider 2.5-inch profile creates a broader contact patch for superior braking stability, confident cornering, and reliable grip. The pneumatic design provides natural shock absorption, effectively dampening harsh vibrations from chattered pavement and footpaths for a more compliant, comfortable ride.
Built with a robust, high-pressure casing, this tyre handles regular use with minimal wear. It serves as an excellent upgrade from standard, narrower factory tyres, giving your scooter a more stable base, a boost in handling confidence, and a longer overall lifespan so you can tackle your daily routes with absolute peace of mind.

Why This IS For You
✅ NIU KQi3 Owners: Perfectly matched to fit seamlessly on NIU KQi3 series scooters (Sport, Pro, Max) and other matching 6.1" rim models.
✅ Daily City Commuters: Ideal if you ride regularly on asphalt and footpaths and want a wider footprint for better stability and control.
✅ Comfort Seekers: Excellent for replacing harsh solid tyres or narrower rubber to gain smoother pneumatic cushioning over bumps.
Why This May NOT Be For You
❌ Off-Road Adventurers: If your daily riding involves loose gravel, dirt trails, or heavy mud, you will need an aggressive knobby tyre instead.
❌ Alternative Rim Sizes: This is designed specifically for 6.1-inch inner diameter wheels; it will not fit standard 6-inch or 6.5-inch rims.
❌ DIY Novices: Tubeless scooter tyres have very stiff, heavy-duty beads; installing them at home without proper tyre levers can be highly challenging.
BFC PRO TIP
Take extra note of the directional arrows molded into the tyre's sidewall before mounting it to your wheel. Getting the rotation direction right is critical for the tread pattern to channel rainwater away from the centre of the tyre properly. If you find the bead incredibly stiff during installation, try soaking the tyre in hot water for 10 minutes beforehand to make the rubber more pliable, and apply a slick coating of soapy water to the rim edge to help it pop into place easily!
