Does this inner tube ride like an air inner tube? Please explain differences.

It rides close enough for my comfort. The time saved on flats and air checking as well as pumping are well worth while considering. Mounting rim as well as the inside of the tires --not that hard. I did grease the inside of the tire and the rim to help with future spoke adjustment and to prevent rust from the inside out. PEACE

For the one I've ridden several thousand miles now, a 26" x 1 3/8", the answer is yes. Moreso than the airless tires I've also tried, close enough to an aired tire I find no practical difference. It rolls pretty well too. The biggest tradeoff is how hard they are to mount. The smaller the diameter, the higher the equivalent pressure, and the harder to mount. My brother is using a larger one, and it wasn't nearly as tough to get on.

No this tube makes the bike feel heavy, and does not ride like it did with the air tube.

there is only one tube on it. one end goes into the pump and the other end in whatever you are inflating. the two holes on the top are where the excess air release from so the pressure isn't too much on the pump.

Unknown and Unknown.... However, it moves a TON of air and is super durable!! I race offroad and use this to pump air into my cvt manifold on the car. It is pumping dirt, silt, mud, and has been soaked. Still works like the day I bought it. Races like the Vegas to Reno and Baja 1000 it was ran constantly in the hot and cold elements taking a beating for excess of 30 hours. For the price, it's pretty fantastic!!

No, you simply blow air into it....as much or little as you like. It is great! You will love it!

The one we got here on Amazon.com had air tires (it was quite a while ago). The plastic tires suck...my neighbor got a bike that looked just like this one, but it had plastic tires. Maybe ask the seller via Amazon to make sure....but the one we ordered here had real bike tires.

Air. Solid tires. Take a lot of abuse. Be careful not to over-inflate. It's sometimes difficult to find replacement tubes except for bike shops and lawnmower service places. So it's not a bad idea to get a spare if available when ordering.

I agree with Teresa. I'm not an expert on these products, but I'll share my decision calculus (for whatever that's worth). I looked for durable construction - heavy tubes with solid welds and a stable base. I also looked for the heaviest flywheel - weight of the flywheel for this type of device seems important as I recall from HS physics... I also looked for the ability to customize with my own saddle and pedals. I've used this model daily for about a year. No complaints so far.

I have bought two of these bikes. One had air tires and the other did not. I like them both.

I have bikes with both schrader and presta valves. I just have to flip the air valve and it has been working fine. It is a mini pump and using it to fill a full inner tube is a lot of work. But in a pinch, it has been great.

I bought this particular model just three weeks ago and it came with pump up air filled tires. The air filled tires give a much softer ride. Hope this helps.

It is bike tube like inside the ring and you blow it up, not a pump.thank you

It is just the tire only, if the wheel rim is in good shape you won't need an inner tube. Unless you have experience and tire tools, it is worth taking the tire shop, it shouldn't more than $10 dollars depending on where you live.

I agree with Jon C's answer. A bicycle tire holds only a fraction of the air compared to a motorcycle tire.

I am not familiar with those. however, the inner tubes have performed very well in the city of murfreesboro, TN. My college girls were continuously getting flat tires and with these inner tubes i haven't dealt with a flat yet.

We've owned both and prefer the Warbird. By far the best tube we've ever owned, and we've had quite a few. Seemed almost impossible to flip and gave a great, fun ride. The adults liked it and so did our teenagers who were skeptical. A tube that everyone will love, no matter what type of ride they want.

After three inner-tubes.....finally checked here, had the same issue, and called for 2 free tubes. Apparently, you should only inflate the tube to 20 psi despite the tire stating 36 psi. Wish I would have known. That would have saved three rides we thought we were going on. I suggest the manufacture contact customers about this flaw rather than wait for someone to get hurt.

Damian, as the other answers note, it is a tubeless ire. Thanks for your interest!John
