Wow, I saw this tech on Veritasium's channel and wondered how long it might be before we might see it. And here it is. Just like that, a future where bike tires never go completely flat may almost be here.
I’m hoping they actually make it to production and they’re a fantastic replacement to pneumatic tires.
BUT, it’s a Kickstarter, with estimated delivery almost a year from now. I’m withholding my excitement until they’re actually in use by regular people in the real world
ya, im done throwing my money away on kickstarters
It also looks like a Kickstarter where one is paying well above the future price to get to be one of the first
I don't think I want to be an early adopter here. I know how my current tyres handle a fast corner, I would like to see theses on bikes ridden fast before considering them.
Yea I really think that an established brand would pick this up if it were really viable. They have the r&d capacity to make this work where I’m not convinced a startup does.
