I rode my Uly off for the first time a few months ago. I'm about to hit 12k miles.

from then until now, i've had my front tire go flat 1x, and my rear tire go flat 2x.

anyone else having problems?

p.s. - i've been taking my uly everywhere, on-off road, trails, over dividers, sidewalks, construction sites, etc. I ride mostly in nyc and surrounding areas

My rear tire picked up a sharp metal object on the way home from the dealership.

I pulled it out and put in a mushroom plug.

No worries since.

I picked up a screw in my front tire, dead nuts center, in the first 400 miles. It barely punctured through to the air. Plugged it, and am still riding on it.

Donald Sabatino picked up a much bigger nail on his rear on FBRAT.

I think the Uly tread pattern picks up screws and nails easier than street tread patterns. I carry a plug kit, a tool kit, and a small air compressor under the seat now. Saved Don's butt on FBRAT.

Offroad and tires are magnets for nails.

What does it take to remove the seat?

just put the triple tail up or in the back position, then there is a key hole under the tail light put you key in and turn... and there you go.
