If you have not already done so, please ensure that your shipping details and bike configuration details are accurate. Your credit card on file will also be charged at this time (for additional accessory purchases and upgrades on BackerKit only). We will also be locking in your orders in BackerKit by 12AM EST, 6th February 2021. If you wish to upgrade to the airless tires, you can also do so via the BackerKit survey link (see below). However, for existing backers, if you did not purchase the airless tires upgrade add-on, you will still receive pneumatic tires as per your order. The pricing will also be increased by $79 per bike for all related perks to reflect this change. Provides good traction under all conditionsĪs part of our ongoing commitment to improve the bike’s design, robustness, and capabilities, all NEW orders starting 12AM EST, 4th February 2021 will come with the airless tire upgrade as default. Pneumatic tube tires will no longer be offered as an option.Our development goal was to create tires that behave just like pneumatic tires but without the associated drawbacks. To overcome this, we decided to partner with an experienced aireless tire manufacturer (name withheld for legal reasons) to develop unique airless tires for Reevo. We quickly realised that standard off-the-shelf airless tires were not going to cut it. Off-the-shelf airless tires also commonly lack traction/grip. However, a common complaint is that airless tires are relatively stiff, leading to a harsher ride, especially when riden over poorly maintained roads. This means less hassle and more savings on bike maintenance. This was why we decided to develop special airless tires for the bike.ĭid you know that every year 200 million tires, or around 20% are scrapped around the world due to punctures, wear, and tear? Airless tires overcome this problem as they are puncture-proof and are generally more robust compared to standard tires. Furthermore, we hate punctures, flats, and blowouts with all our souls. The nature of standard tube tires mean that there will be an air valve protruding off the tire sidewall, which we think affects the bike aesthetics. Along the way, we realized that a futuristic bike should also come with advanced tires. Reevo was initially designed with standard tube tires in mind. More details can be found at the end of this update. Please also note that we will be locking your orders in BackerKit by 12AM EST, 6th February 2021. Mini Series #1 – Biometric Access Module.For newer backers, this mini-series will walk through the design, development process, and functionality of each customized bike component. Today we continue with the 3rd installation of the mini series. ![]()
