We are having trouble inflating the tires (like no air is going in). Did we miss removing some protective plug or doing some other assembly step?

Not sure how to help you here. The bike I purchased had a slow leak in one of the tubes that I ended up taking to a bike store to have replaced for $7. I don't think the tubes are that high quality.

There shouldn't be any protective plugs. As long as you have a good connection on the valve with your pump, air should be going into the tube. Often the pump will have a small lever on the connector. Make sure that is open when you attach the connector, then close it on top.

I had no problem putting air to the tires by using a regular hand pump. Perhaps you might want to check the pump? Make sure the pump head is inserted fully to the tire's valve

First make sure the black plastic valve is open. If it is and it still isn't inflating blow into the valve like you're blowing up a ballon. When new they sometimes need help getting started.

The tires are pneumatic..have had mine for a year now and I have not had to add air to them

I have no problem with my unit. Are you moving around a lot when it is inflating? That will abort it. Also do you have the owners manual. It may help.

There is a valve on the one side. You should be able to re-inflat with a needle - like one used to reinflate a basketball. Go to your local sporting goods store and they should be able to help you.

Use a standard air compressor with a tire inflator. The same as inflating a bike or car tire. Use a tire pump for that matter.

You defiantly need a pump. We used our electric tire pump. Took about a half an hour to inflate.

Yes we have had a similar problem, we used an air gun to blow it out and cleaned it thoroughly and it was a little easier. Still harder than the car seat in my wife's car.

Make sure the air lock is set. inside the inlet were the hose hooks up to is a white knob you must turn to the lock position before inflating or the air will escape.

A) Does your unit push air out when not connected to anything? If so, it sounds like a problem with your hose or something else on the unit. If not it has to be after the pump. Either the tire or the connection are at fault. B) Try pushing the metal pin in the valve stem to release pressure. If nothing happens you are either out of air or it's broken. It should flow air with little to no movement. C) If that worked it has to be the connection. Maybe they don't align anymore and can be bent, or maybe you have to buy a better adapter. I'd get something like this(http://amzn.com/B001CJHU9W).

I used my shop air compressor, but a small pump such as a water toys inflater would work also. I does take a while to inflate.

This is the ONLY thing that worked for us. Bite the valve while blowing. We pinched those stupid valves for over an hour with no success. Tire pump - no luck. Sticking holes in it with a safety pin - nada. But biting the valve open while blowing - yup, that is the only way we got it to work.

You have to press down in the white area of the inflating tube. This can be done using the cap. Just the cap tab inside and push down.

I am in the same boat. Mine came a bit inflated but not enough to use. Trying to inflate with pump (not provided) I don't feel much progress is happening.

The tires on the cart I received just a few weeks ago have a schrader (same kind that's on a car) valve to inflate the tires. The tires are stinky (I leave it outside, the smell is getting less) but they work.

There should be no air coming out, probably a bad valve. Try putting a 3 in 1 oil in, valve might be sticky.

Mixed answer. I've double plugged and it worked and another time it didn't. Give it a try. Just keep an eye on the tire pressure for a few days.
