The tire is essentially a 9-inch wheel with plastic spokes that can be bent to the left or right to support maximum wheel movement.
The wheel is made of plastic so no need for inflating and users do not have to worry about puncturing the tire.
Wheel material is also very interesting as it can be reused.
