Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

reTyre is a tyre system that incorporates detachable tread surfaces for bicycles and wheelchairs which allow the user to quickly and easily change their tyre surface without removing the tyre itself. The method and technology are patented. reTyre is the first to achieve a fully viable and scalable modular tyre system using zipper technology. The technology can also be utilized for scooters, motorcycles and strollers. The modular tyre system provides benefits for the whole value chain: from more sustainable tyre manufacturing, better differentiation and function for the bicycle manufacturer, increased aftermarket opportunities for the retailer and a better biking experience for the user. This project concentrate on manufacturing technology transfers from other industries into tyre manufacturing.
