As winter approaches, the biting cold wind howls in, and many people who are accustomed to traveling by shared electric bikes start to notice that after winter sets in, the smoothness and comfort of riding shared electric bikes have declined significantly compared to before. Why is this so?
In fact, the real culprit behind this is the impact of temperature changes on bicycle tires. The most common raw material for bike tires, rubber, is an organic polymer material that is quite sensitive to temperature. In low-temperature conditions, the molecular structure inside the rubber undergoes physical changes and gradually crystallizes, causing the rubber to lose its inherent elasticity and thus affecting the riding experience.
In response to the impact of high and low temperatures on tires, the Nedong R&D team continuously adjusted the material formula and selected supercritical materials capable of withstanding harsh high and low temperature conditions to develop a new type of non-pneumatic tire with excellent weather resistance, lightness and comfort - the Nedong solid tire.
The Nedong solid bicycle tire adopts a supercritical material inner tube + customized outer tube structure design. The supercritical material used in the inner tube is lighter and more shock-absorbing than traditional tire materials. According to the test and comparison by the Nedong R&D team, the Nedong solid tire is about 40-50% lighter than the same style of non-pneumatic tire products, allowing users to truly feel the lightness during the riding process.
In response to the usage issues mentioned at the beginning of the article in cold environments, Nedong solid electric bicycle tires have also passed multiple rigorous related tests and can still be used normally in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C, providing all-weather protection for the travel experience of shared mobility users.
In response to the needs of shared mobility, the outer tire of Nedong solid tires adopts a customized design solution. Customers can customize the appearance and tread pattern of the tires based on the vehicle's usage environment. For instance, if the tires are to be used on wet and slippery roads in rain or snow, an off-road tire tread pattern can be chosen to enhance grip and anti-slip performance. If the focus is on the speed and agility of daily rides, a smoother and less frictional tread structure can be customized.
Nedong solid tyres have currently developed a variety of products suitable for electric bicycles and bicycles, such as 20x4.0, 26x1.75, 20x1.75 and other models. They can also develop other models and products for application on other vehicles according to customer customization requirements.
