Try tightening the nuts that hold the wheels onto the chair. Make sure they are very tight.

How to change the tubes on hoveround tires

You are much better off just buying the flat free drive tires with the wheel attached for @ 55 each. With that being said, the wheel will separate it takes a lot of elbow grease, a large flat head screwdriver and patience. Be very careful not to tear and/or stretch the tire bead and resist the temptation to spray lubrication of any sort to separate it. Again, call Hoveround or look on ebay and order two with the wheels.... you will be glad you did..

When something goes shear through my tire; can that be patched up? Would I need to get a new tire if something causes a big enough hole? How are tire holes patched anyway? bryanflake1984| http://w

Do you have solid tires or inflatable tires. If they our inflatable tires and the hole is not too big they can hot patch them at a tire shop most of the time for free. If its a solid rubber tire and you have taken a big chuck out of it you will have to get a new. But I am thinking you have an inflatable tire. take it too the tire shop and see what they can do.

Changed hoveround tire and now it goes in circles wont drive

When changing a wheel one must remember to reinstall the shaft key, or the wheel will not be secured to the shaft. The shaft of the motor is turning but wheel is not.

Is vinyl floor tile strong enough for wheelchair...I am always in the kitchen, cooking

No- It may work for awhile but the wheels on the chair will cut into the tile. If the wheels are thick- over 2 inches thick and are tire type it would help. Try it out - if you see ridges on the tile- Stop- the tile is too soft.

Looking for body part orframe

Most parts must be purchased directly from Hoveround. You can mail a check or do a credit card over the phone for payment. Batteries and tires may be found locally. Some items cannot be shipped; they have to be installed by a Hoveround Tech.

Hoveround rear tire needs inflating

I don't think you have an MPV4. That model has 2 rear caster tires that are solid and require no inflation. The front drive tires have a valve stem sticking out of the center rim that is easily accessible. Make sure your power chair is gray and says Hoveround on it.
