Sorry about your flat. Do you know what caused it? I've got a link for getting the back tire off of the Ezip, but I can't find it right now. I will update this post when I run across it.
Thanks for the info How2, that helps. And yeah, it's a bummer about the flat, and it was on only my 4th ride! I was in the middle of a 16 mile round trip. I got the rear tire off myself, had to remove the battery. I can't find anything that caused the flat, and I'm kind of suspicious because the split was right on the seam of the tube, and there was a distinct pop when it blew, but no evidence of anything penetrating the tire. I'm thinking the tube is faulty. (if it was over-inflated, that was the dealer's fault, not mine) No way of proving it though. As was suggested to me in another thread, I'm considering getting a puncture-resistant tire for the rear, because it really is a pain to get it off the bike.
