"The much-hyped airless tire technology developed by NASA for its rovers, later
commercialized for terrestrial use by The SMART Tire Company (STC), is now
available for sale.
According to a Kickstarter campaign, the SMART METL tires designed for bikes
have minimal rolling resistance (less labor for you), require no air pressure,
ride smoothly like pneumatic tires, and last the lifetime of your vehicle. They
also look exceptionally stylish as well.
The model won two innovation awards at this year's Consumer Electronics Show
(CES) in Las Vegas as Honorees in two categories: Vehicle Tech & Advanced
Mobility and Sustainability, Eco-Design & Smart Energy."
