Minimoto Experience

eddiekay · October 3rd, 2011, 05:07 AM

I like small bikes.
I bought a Honda Maxii battery mini that I plan on dressing up like a Ninjette..or close enough. If you had one of these, you know the rear tire valve is tucked in behind a sprocket and is near impossible to get to. The only thing i can think of is to attach a temporary valve extension to fill the tire....am I right or is there something I've missed...a simpler way ? It appears the rear whell has to come off for a fill ?
Any experience with these, anyone ?

Might be worth switching the valve out for a more convenient shape or direction if you do end up removing the wheel. Will a 90-degree bend one help?

Wound up buying cheap plastic valve extenders and with some messin'...they work, Mniimoto electrics realized the mistake they made....drive sprocket has hole drilled, not molded into it. Not to rap the chinese for an otherwise great toy but , plain simple design mistake...perhaps originally design for solid wheels ?
Thanks for suggestion.
