tyre

[poshman]

I went about 500 meters on my scooter and then my rear tyre went flat
pushed the scooter home no sign of any nails etc pumped it up and it hasnt gone flat for 3 days now, what could it be ? faulty valve ?
cheers P M

Sounds like its come away from the rim on a corner or a kerb and let the air out.

Since you have reinflated it, it has sealed again against the rim.

ok thanks for that , it went flat when i turned right in the road so possibly what you said.
must check tyre pressure in future, maybe it went a little soft which caused the problem

Probably is the case, take it to a garage and it will cost about £10 to get it resealed.

I thought scooters had solid tyres

scooters have legs not wheels
