The SMART Tire company's METL bicycle tires won two awards at this year's CES in Las Vegas.
, Yennie explained that "without pressurized air inside your tires, punctures are no longer a concern. Even large tears won't slow these tires down: you could stick a kitchen knife right through and keep on riding because it's not going to affect the structural integrity of the tire."
The company's first product is its METL bicycle tire. If all goes according to plan, it will then look to provide tires for e-mobility scooters before finally bringing METL car tires to the market a few years from now.The auto industry is definitely where it can provide the greatest impact when it comes to safety — according to Yennie, "20 percent of roadside emergencies involve a tire issue, and the vast majority of those are due to a loss of pressure or improper inflation.
On its website, the firm says the METL bicycle tire will be priced at around $100-150 and that it will be available for order in the first quarter of 2023. Not only is the SMART Tire company's product a potential game-changer for the transport industry, but it's also a shining example of how technology developed for space continuously provides great benefits for people here on Earth.
