RE: eBike Explorations, Volume 7: Flat Tire??
@alexbeyman,
What a brilliant idea to have Electric Air pump and auto healing tyres! Probably you are using a type of liquid to seal the hole! I never see a bike like this one!
Cheers~
Yes, that's how it works. There are 2 layers to the inner tube, with a sticky green slime between them. There's lots of little bits of rubber in the slime. When a puncture occurs, the slime is pushed through the hole and the bits of rubber clog the hole. The slime then dries wherever it is exposed to air, like a glue.
