Aventon Soltera 7 front tire wont inflate. Was working before connecting pump. Need help
Posted by Think-Abalone-1137@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 3 comments
So my tire pressure was a little low (still rideable) and i went to put more air in it. I have both a plug in inflator and a hand pump. The second i connected the pump to the valve, the tire instantly deflated and wont take air now. Its a presta valve with a schrader adapter on it. If i hold the handle down on the floor pump, itll feel like air is in there, and the second i pull the handle up, its completely deflated again. Any ideas? Shouldnt have anything to do with a hole, seeing as how it was just a little low for a few weeks (but holding at that pressure) use this as my daily commuter to work, and now im back to walking. Any help would be appreciated

Take the tube out and try to inflate outside the tire. Check for leaks and repair or replace.

I don't know why this worked, but it did, thanks! I took the intertube out and filled it up. And then put it right back on the bike. No leaks or anything, it just wouldnt fill up when it was on the frame
