I just ordered a 2 pack of new tubes via next day no extra charge PRIME Amazon so will have to wait to ride it now. Sucks because it's a killer evening out and this thing has lights!

It's always something.......
Always inflate tires in steps.
Put enough air in tire to adjust & seat the beads before inflate to full pressure.
