Excelent question. Our chosen composite hoop
material is carbon fiber epoxy and at $5 per lb. 2-4lbs. per hoop its the “big”
cost. Recycled tires may be able to be used for traction layers. Exon Mobile has
developed a new highly elastic tire liner that may be suitable for our membrane. In
production we assume that the overall “non fiber” material volume and costs will be
same or less than conventional tires. B

Nice to see people thinking outside the box and trying new things.
How flexible is that hoop, i.e. how many degrees of camber is possible?
How much does it weigh? (You mentioned 2-4lbs for hoop but there seems to be a lot of nuts’n'bolts too plus traction layer plus the rim…)
What is the area of the contact surface? @2:30 it looks to be pretty tiny.

Ivanuaz, The ERW© will is made of composite materials and can weigh less than your average z-rated tire in similar size. The new prototypes can handle extreme camber angles. The hoop can be made using variations of flex. Area of contact is changing with our next prototypes so I will comment further when we have any new info.

ERW© Does not release the cost to mass produce this technology. We can use recycled tires and other recycled materials to create the components. With the bolt-on gas savings and safety increases we feel we created a very “green” technology.

Haha he said “Jizzsm”.

Some dried in mud would really make this wheel unbalanced. Have you considered adding side membranes just for sealing purposes? Replaceable side walls with multiple color options might help you getting into the tuner market where you can actually make some profit for further efforts.
Wouldn’t your design make the “tire” simply too rigid against side forces (shortening life of suspension joints etc.)?

Any issues with static?
July 27th, 2009 at 4:53 am
Less static. a lot less static making lateral shock absorption possible as well as general vertical shock absorption.
July 27th, 2009 at 4:56 am
adding side walls to this technology seems a formality at this point.
of course we will do this. this is a prototype for explanations.
July 27th, 2009 at 4:57 am
lol! yep.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:39 am
This is a great invention and i would love to see these everywhere by the time i start driving
August 6th, 2009 at 11:57 pm
how does it behave in hard breaking conditions, such as emergency breaking, as well , hard turning, such as during emergency maneuvers?
Are there any advantages over Michelin’s Tweel?
August 7th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
ERW© Stops and turns as good or better than any performance tire. This is due to the lateral stability and lateral shock absorption capabilities created by the outer hoop under tension.

no more police spikes muther fucker!
August 9th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
yea hahahahahahahaha
August 10th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
wtf this is like a bicycke weekl almost the same principle as spokes but more flexible wtf nothiong new
August 10th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
oh yeah if u hit rocks wtf and wtf in mud how can u drive that crap in mud hahah
August 11th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Same but “More Flexible” ?????
Under large tension, the ERW© membrane takes forces the air filled tires deformation would yet doesnt deform around it but rather over it! 
August 13th, 2009 at 3:20 am
Very, very interesting. Certainly has some positives going for it.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
I have put this video on the Aberdeen Taxi Drivers forum.
But i got to ask …Can you buy them yet?
And if so what kind of price are they starting off at?
Thanks.
August 20th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Rustylug! Thanks for your interest! these are in prototype stages and we are looking for licensing as we type. Our pats. are in and we are creating Computer models of parts. Soon my friend soon. But ETA to market is currently unknown to my department. Please tell all your buddies as it looks like you are!. START THE REVOLUTION!
August 25th, 2009 at 2:35 am
Just like any other tire, moron.
August 26th, 2009 at 9:55 am
i believe this is a bit better than MIchelin’s original tweel and it has potential. My concern is about high lateral forces. Good jobanyway!
August 26th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Thanks! we think its better too!. The lateral forces on our wheel actually create a wonderful result. The charged membrane acts like a LATERAL shock!!! adding grip and stability through high speed cornering!

You ever thought about the fact that invention is not necessarily a practice of creating new principles, but the act of finding better ways to implement existing ones?
No, I suppose you haven’t.
And it is not the same as a bike wheel. Though it does use some of the principles therein.
