Well, I agree with one of tha answers, it is a pain. Okay, lets begin.
1. You have to take off the Muffler.
2. Use a Impact Wrench to remove the bolt from the rim of the tire.
3. Take a rubber mallet or a large hammer and gently hit the other side of the rim to force it out from the hub, then pull the rim off.
4. You could take it to a tire shop to have them remove the tire and put the new one on. Or....
5. Take a pair of pliers with the rubber handles and get under the tire, then take a screw driver and get under the tire and pull it around just like you would a bicycle tire. Then pull the tire off of the rim.
6. Get a bucket of really soapy water and keep it by your side. Put one side of the new tire on the rim. Then sponge down the tire with the soapy water and painfully push the other side of the tire on inch by inch. Have someone help you if needed (which you probably will).
7. Once the tire is on, do not inflate it. Put it back on the Scooter. Once everything is back on, put the air back in. If it seems like the air isn't going in. Take the mallet and gently tap the tread of the tire all the way around, then try again to put air back in. Be careful, you may hear a few pops due to the bead of the tire coming up against the rim, but its alright.
Take it easy and
Good Luck

Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer.
You have to remove the exhaust pipe to get the rear wheel off of most scooters.

It is a total pain in the ***. I just take them to the shop where I buy the new tire from and they will usually put t on for not too much money.

You SHOULD have bought a Stella or a Bajaj. They both come with spare tires, and are changeable on the road.
Now you have to take it all apart, dont forget to buy a new exhaust gasket.
