p133 tyres
Hi guys
My trusty p133 from 2003 still has reasonable tread on my current set of tyres. And I'm fortunate enough now to also have a I series which helps me minimise the use of its baby brother. However, one day I will need to replace the tyres (or tyres + wheels). Has anyone had any success sourcing an alternate tyre and attaching it (with a tube) to the wheels? I know it's a long shot, but I'll contact Michelin this week. Cheers Ronny |
Ronny, yes getting tires or a lot of other parts for the P 133 is getting hard. I have 4 P's so I know all to well. Have you seen a Ninebot E yet? They're the China company that now owns Segway. The Ninebot has 16" tires. The tires are made by Michelin I think. They do look a little wider though. If there's a Ninebot dealer close to where you're at stop by and see if you think they might work. I know the rims are different but a good bike shop could change the tires on to your Segway rims. Here's a link to Ninebot's US distributor listing their replacement tires and rims. Good luck!

A glimmer of hope?
I just came into a P133 myself but the tires are indeed starting to dryrot. If the ninebot tires will fit, I would be SOOO happy. At lest SOME good will have come from that ungodly union...:D

I know this is the wrong forum, so moderators: please feel free to move if appropriate :)
Just FYI...I have a brand new set of p133 series, still in box. And I think I have a new set of batteries. I purchased a used but in very good condition p133 from an authorized reseller a few years ago, but the cables at the top of the control shaft got pinched during shipping due to the way it was shipped. I never got the cables fixed, so this p133 with its brand new extra set of batteries and tires has been sitting here for a few years needing a loving owner. If either of you needs batteries or tires or a p133 which needs its control shaft cable replaced...just let me know. |

My only question is; are they dryrotting? That's the issue mine have. If you bent them, they should be flexible like rubber but if they're dryrotting, then they'll start cracking :-/. |

p133 tires
I saw that you had some new tires for the p133, but this was back in June. I am desperate for some for my daughter's Segway that she uses constantly, as she has mobility issues. Anyone out there have any tires or suggestions?

Let's continue this in PM so we don't hijack the thread with buy/sell messages. |
The verdict?
Any chance anyone found a solution for tire replacement for the P133? There HAS to be some tire out there tat will fit these little guys.
The way they're built; the machine will last forever, but the only consumable item -tires- will inevitably wear out or (in my case) dryrot. ANY ideas welcome :) Cheers! |
I have complete p133s for sale with good tires, and I have a few sets of new p133 tires as well. If anyone is looking for either send me a message.
