3. Tire Maintenance

The 10.5-inch pneumatic tires require occasional pressure checks to ensure optimal performance and ride comfort. Refer to the user manual for recommended tire pressure. While the product comes with pneumatic tires, some variants or accessories might feature solid tires. If you have solid tires, be aware that they may offer a firmer ride and less traction on wet surfaces compared to pneumatic tires.
