Michelin has developed a new airless motorcycle tire that looks interesting and perhaps more design functional for a Segway...........with fun color options too.

Seriously, though, I think this is solvable, technically, between having a selection of wheels and designing in a progressive stiffness with load, to widen the acceptable range. But the small market combined with the additional R&D and the need to stock and distribute a range of tweels makes it impractical, I'm sure. Still, if we had undersized tweels, we could take a page from your book, Karl, and stack them to get the necessary capacity.

Link to information about the Michelin Airless Motorcycle Tire if any interest. Seems more practical than the Tweel.........or not. |

"You won't see the Tweel on your sandmobile any time soon because it has noise, vibration, heat and wear problems at highway speeds..." I hope they solve them!

Here's a quick shot of behind the 'Segway' logo. Four bolts hold the lowest section of the leansteer in place.
