I'd be happy to maintain it. I wouldn't want to limit any other posts, but sure would be nice to focus some information for easier reference. Even if you don't work on your M3W yourself, would be worth knowing what some of the street prices are.

I'd even go a step further and suggest that we develop some maintenance threads that walk owners through routine and not so routine tasks, with clear description and pics. Problem is, for the skilled, these are primitive things that everyone should know. But I think there are a number of folks with reasonable skills that don't want to hurt the vehicle (or look like a horse's behind). Will try to add my own over time.

I realize that the site has a general maintenance forum, but I didn't see an easy way to tell if there was much in there for 3W's.

You don't need them. The wire ends get covered by the rim of the tire. The ends themselves are beautifully finished and smooth. This wheel might qualify for being tubeless.


What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

I bought 2 inner tubes from Dennis Kirk, I believe they are Dunlop with the offset metal valve stem. I stuffed them under the steering shaft under the bonnet. Also bought a couple of cheapie tire irons (ground the sharp edges off of them),a small scissors jack, a small air compressor from Amazon, and a a plug kit for the rear tire. I made a little tool tray which is bolted down to the body on the right side under the bonnet, using 3 of the existing screws. You would also need a special wrench to remove the stem nut on the existing valve stem as there is no clearance. I think I came up with a socket that will fit over the valve stem that I can turn with a pliers. I intend to get home from a roadside puncture.
