hi where did you get a spare tire and rim.? what size are you using? I have just started to call around as Dealers do not know much on segway. one dealer said Over $500 just for spare. ?
@DesertVillain
@DesertVillain 25 күн бұрын
I don't have a spare yet. Have a good repair kit with plugs & a Dewalt battery power compressor. My local dealer quoted me $479 + tax just for a matching rim. Everyone says it doesn't need to match & to buy a cheap rim. I'm thinking about it. My 72" Segway Villain SX10 WX has the same size tire/wheel on all 4 corners: 30×10-R14 CST Stag 8-ply tires Wheel Anti drop aluminum rim (14×6.5J) Bolt pattern 4/110 Offset wheels that are 5+2 Torque 74-88-foot pounds Let me know if you find a deal on a matching bead lock OEM wheel.

It wont go over 10mph without the seatbelts-- Its happened to me too but its a good thing. I have a dewalt compressor for mine too-- Its the best. Now, I love the Stags for grip in soil, but for paved roads or rocks, they're not the right tire. Too much of a curved profile to wear off the center treads on roads, and too much empty space between the treads and smooth sides to let a sharp rock cause a flat. Thats why I bought some System3 350s and put them on some Black Rhino wheels so I have the ability to swap back and forth as needed. I also have a sidewall repair kit. I'd like to carry a spare but man, thats a lot of weight to carry up high. Speaking of weight, the new tire/wheel setup is a lot heavier too, but much smoother feeling since the treads are so much closer together.

Great info in this vid.... Just as bad as a visit to a car stealership... Best wishes on the warranty package... I bought an extended warranty for my Honda.. I got a flat tire and they gave me a huge hassle on a simple repair within 2 weeks of initial purchase... I exercised the FL statute to cancel the total extended warranty plus tire/wheel package and got a full refund of the warranty package within 60 days of issuance... The dealer was pissed cause I wouldn't back down.. He lost 1000's in warranty commission because they gave me a hard time on a simple flat tire repair...
