No. The vacuum tires of a motorcycle cannot be used when completely flat. Continuing to ride will result in loss of stability, severe tire damage, and even more serious wheel rim deformation. Additional Information: If a nail is stuck in the tire, you can still ride at a slower speed for a short period as long as there is still air pressure in the tire. This is because when a nail punctures a vacuum tire, the internal pressure of the tire causes the airtight layer around the nail to be pressed against the puncture, creating a sealing effect under pressure that prevents or slows down air leakage. Therefore, if a vacuum tire is punctured by a nail, do not pull it out. Instead, ride slowly to a repair shop to have the tire fixed.

Do I Need to Replace Two Tires?

Tires do not necessarily need to be replaced in pairs. If a tire has a bulge due to impact, severe sidewall damage, has been punctured more than four times, or has a puncture hole larger than 6mm, you may choose to replace either one tire or a pair, depending on the situation. For a new car with relatively low mileage, you only need to replace the problematic tire, as the wear on tires on the same axle is usually similar. However, if the tires have already been driven tens of thousands of kilometers but do not yet require replacement, and only one tire has an issue, replacing just one tire may cause uneven height, leading to bumpiness or steering pull at higher speeds. In such cases, it is recommended to replace a pair of tires.

What Happens When You Press the Clutch to the Floor and Accelerate?

Pressing the clutch to the floor and accelerating has almost no impact, as detailed below: 1. The engine idles, and the vehicle will not start moving because the clutch disconnects the power transmission between the engine and the gearbox. 2. When the clutch is pressed down, no matter which gear is engaged, it is treated as neutral. Pressing the accelerator is equivalent to accelerating in neutral, which is a very common phenomenon. 3. If you release the clutch too quickly while accelerating, it can cause the engine to stall normally. Additional Information: 1. The clutch is mostly used for gear shifting in automatic transmission cars and has no direct connection with the accelerator, except that these two pedals should not be pressed simultaneously. 2. When shifting gears, the clutch should be pressed to the floor to achieve smoother gear shifts, protect the transmission, and reduce friction between components.

How to Solve Frost on Car Windshield in Summer?

This occurs when the cool air from the car's air conditioning lowers the temperature of the windshield, causing the water vapor in the outside air to condense upon contact with the cold surface. It's the same principle as when a chilled drink taken out of the refrigerator in summer has small water droplets on its surface. Here are the solutions for frost on the car windshield: 1. Warm up the car sufficiently: If there is frost on the windshield, do not use the wipers to scrape it off. Instead, properly warm up the car while stationary, wait for the engine coolant temperature to rise, and avoid turning on the heater during this period. 2. Turn on the heater: After starting the vehicle and warming it up, and once the engine coolant temperature has risen, you can turn on the air conditioning heater, select the windshield defrost mode, set the heater to the highest setting, and wait patiently for 5~10 minutes.

Does a Financed Car Only Come with One Key?

Financed cars do not necessarily come with only one key. The specific details are as follows: 1. It is possible that some dealerships may have such arrangements: Nowadays, many 4S stores take out loans from banks for their inventory vehicles. In such cases, the vehicle's certificate of conformity and a spare key are often used as collateral with the bank. Once the vehicle is sold, the dealership then uses the final payment to redeem the certificate and key from the bank. 2. Different lending institutions have varying requirements: There is no uniform regulation on whether a key needs to be held as collateral when financing a car. Some banks may require you to mortgage one key along with the vehicle registration certificate (also known as the 'big green book'), while others may only require the vehicle registration certificate. Therefore, it is advisable to understand the bank's collateral policy before taking out a loan to avoid any misunderstandings when picking up the car later.
