Imagine taking your bicycle out of the garage and never having to fill up the tires or even check the pressure. You’ll never have to suffer a flat bike tire again, using a unique detachable valve that senses when a tire needs to be inflated, then pumping air from a thin tube on the outside of the tire into the inner tube.
The PumpTire project is planning to bring two self-inflating bicycle tires to market, the City Cruiser and City Pro. Both tires are intended for the urban cyclists and both tires incorporate the patented PumpTire technology.
If you are interested in pre-ordering your very own City Cruiser PumpTire, visit Kickstarter page and pledge $45 or more to support this project. The project will only be funded if at least $250,000 is pledged by Wednesday October 5, 2011. International shipping is available.
