does the ball take a special valve to inflate it?

I believe I used our tire pump that hooks up to the car's lighter but only because it was quicker. Have to be very careful that you don't over fill it. It comes with a pump.

No just, a reg one.. It's been awhile since we have inflated it, however, we didn't have to get anything additional for it.

I don't know; Based on some of the reviews I returned the trainer without opening it. Sorry.

Inflating the ball with the included foot pump does not require a special valve. I wish it did. My only complaint about the ball is: during inflation, one looses half the air while disconnecting the foot pump.

I can't tell, but I see air valves. I had it for a couple of years and I never had to inflate them

Depends on the ball, some of them need a special piece for the pump to attach to the ball

They give you a straw to inflate the ball. It's OK but I would prefer to buy a kids ball instead as it is difficult to inflate as firm as I would like

No it does not come inflated. It comes with a plastic needle you use like you would inflate a basketball. :)

The ball is deflated inside of the box. There is a hand pump inside the box that you must use to inflate the ball

Yes it does. And then to deflate it you just open the valve and roll the air back out.

The ball is not a valve. There is no mechanism on either side of it that actually closes to prevent the flow of air either into or out of the canister. I know the description makes it sound like it may be more than that, but at least the one I have simply has a hole cut in both sides.

Only partly. But just a few puffs of air inflates it quickly. It works best to inflate then deflate to the most comfortable level.

No, it does not require a pump, it comes inflated but it won't likely stay inflated long! I bought 2 and both went flat in less than a week and there is no way to re-inflate them.

It does not come inflated, it takes a needle similar to how you inflate a basketball or football.

I think it does come with a pump, but don't really remember. (The chair is in Oregon and I am in Texas) But it shouldn't be a problem because the ball is just like the exercise balls in any gym and I think inflates the same way. If you are at a remote location I would call the company first.

It comes with a ball. If I remember correctly, the ball arrived deflated and we had to pump it up.

It does require an air pump to inflate. I used an air compressor because it actually requires quite a bit of air to fully inflate. Totally worth it though. I actually own three of them now. Highly recommend it.

No, you have to open the valve, like a small faucet. The amount of CO2 is not enough to inflate a car or motorcycle wheel.

No. We inflated (repeatedly) with a foot pump. It's also smaller than it looks.

No, it does not. The package comes with instructions and a plastic needle adapter and a plug in one. You have to attach the adapter to the air pump. If you do not have the air pump, you have to buy one. To inflate the Hello Kitty ball to use the adapter and when it is fully inflated put the plug in. You can read all of it in the instructions paper.
