How do I repair a flat Wheeleez tire?

Published By: Ryan Grassley

Why Does Extreme Motus Use Wheeleez?

Extreme Motus uses Wheeleez Beach Tires on the X3 off-road wheelchair because they absorb a lot of bumps and give a smooth ride to the person in the chair. Wheeleez tires are inflated to just 4 PSI. This allows them to roll over rocks, grass, gravel, and sand without the rider feeling too many jarring bumps. One concern our customers have is, “What happens if I get a flat tire?” Sam and I have been on many adventures on very rocky and rough trails. Through all of our adventures, we have only had 1 flat tire. Wheeleez tires are very durable but it can happen. In our experience, it was a very slow leak that allowed us to finish our hike and we didn’t notice until the next day when we found the tire deflated. Extreme Motus Use Wheeleez

Our Only Flat tire

Our flat tire happened after a day at Draper Cycle Park. We had been going off some pretty sweet jumps.
This happened in November 2020. We repaired the tire and are still using it on Sam’s chair today. Our Only Flat tire
