Have just bought buggy on ebay - arrived today with flat tyres and no pump - can I use ordinary pump or do I need special expensive one!!?? I will be most pee'd off if I have to shell out for extras as I will end up paying out the same as for a new one. Oh well. buyer beware... [philosophical expression emoticon required]

I noticed my micralite tyres were quite flat this morning so am going to dig out the bike pump & hope it works. Will let you know. Fingers crossed!

it should be a normal pump.

I have managed to pump up tyres using an ordinary pump - relieved to say - thanks for replys

Have tried my 'ordinary' pump & the attachment is too big so it won't work!

Thats a pain - maybe you can get another adapter from bike shop?? I had to go and buy a pump to use on the buggy but was just from local motor parts shop cost £2.99 so nothing special...

Panic over! DH came home from work & managed to use our 'ordinary' pump, the one that I just couldn't get to fit! I just hate it when that happens!
