I did a search for this but did not find out the information.
I'm considering buying a micro air compressor to carry along on the Spyder. There is a "Tube" repair type or a "Tubeless" type.....do the Spyder tires have tubes?

What is the amp rating for the rear cigarette lighter connection in the trunk?

Thanks

Go here and pick a small tubeless repair kit: http://www.stopngo.com/motorcycles/.

I have this compressor that is very good, not as compact as some competitors, needs a circuit rated at 7 amps. My Battery Tender Jr is rated at 7 and has a pigtail to the battery in the frunk rated at 7 amps with an SAE plug the compressor plugs into. The valve stem extender that comes with compressor is great for the rear wheel. Yes, it's a Harley product but it is very well made IMO.

Spyder tires are tubeless.

Not sure on the amp rating of the plug, or of the amp draw mine imposes, but it ran my little compressor for long enough to inflate a tire.... altho it wasn't my Spyder rear tire & it may have held a little less air-volume than one of them?! Others may know the specifics ;)

I carry tubless plug kit with co2 cartridge small and does the trick and works great on my trailers too
