From those two videos especially the first one looks like it is the tire causing it. May be able to balance it to fix it or replace with a better tire, but may still have to balance to not have any bounce or anything.

That is some major side to side woble ! I didn't see if you answered this or not, but has it been like this from the get go ? Or did this just start up one day ? The tire seems like its possible defective , that's if the rim is not bent. The back wheel is not loose is it ?

See if you have any side to side movement. However I don't really thing that would cause the scoot to bounce like that. It would probably just cause some swaying while riding. |

I'd first try to get the wheel balanced , if that doesn't work you will need to get that tire off the rim , make sure the rim is ok and then if the rim is fine , order a new tire. |

I would check to see if bead has seated all around the rim I have seem them the bead didn't pop right and some still isn't in right place might be a easy fix and no money let air out soap up around rim and reapply air again what have you to lose a little time right.

I've never seen that happen , but I'm sure it does, and it looks as if that could def be a possibility. It looks more like a deformation then a balance issue , so u may be right. If it were a balance issue , it would not be noticeable at lower speeds. This is noticeable from the time the wheel begins to spin . actually even at higher speeds you cannot detect a balance issue . that's why they use a tire balancer. You can spin a wheel that needs balanced next to a balanced wheel and you more than likely won't be able to pick it out. |
