Pneumatic tires have a very important role. A firm thin tire on a smooth surface flattens less. This translates into less friction, more speed, and less wear. The wide and tough tires used on mountain bikes floats on a rough hard surface terrain cutting less deep into the dirt. An oval shape smoothly treaded tire goes well with a smooth and wet surface as it allows effective water evacuation and prevents the tires from hydroplaning. On the other hand, a stiffer rubber compound is used in tires of mountain bikes to get improved physical link and grip with the road.
Electric bicycles are the transport of the future. We only need to look around us to see that our roads are getting more and more congested with gas guzzling cars while the air that we breath is becoming more polluted by the day. Here are a few good reasons to consider an alternative mode of transport; namely the electric bicycle or E-Bike.
