Reply to "E.Bikes"

As much as an argument for/against e-bikes for certification measurements, this discussion appears to me to also constitute a recommendation for solid tires, such as Duane Russel used to use.

A potentially better solution using NASA - developed shape memory alloys: https://www.smarttirecompany.com/cycling . The SMART Tire company claims its bike tires will last and will perform well indefinitely without failing.

"The estimated price for the METL™ bicycle tire is $100-$150 at launch, or competitively priced as an integrated high-end wheelset. METL airless tires will be available to order Q4 2023, sign up today for our wait list."

FYI - I have no financial interest in this company or its products.
