I have an electric air pump that with a tire repair kit means I can

Hi Jerry. Good to hear from you again.
I do the same thing in all my EVs. Tires have become so reliable that it
isn't worth carrying a spare and jack. I carry a AAA card instead. :-)
The Sunrise EV2 also has air bag suspension. The plan is to do exactly
as you said; carry a small air pump and tire repair kit. The pump can be
used while driving as the vacuum pump for the power brakes, and to
inflate tires or adjust the ride height.

better ones when the current ones burn out often enough to keep
you in business? -- Hunter Cressall
