Looks like we still need to have a bit of rubber wrapping around our rims for quite some time. But anyway, it is a good technology. Just some kinks needs to be ironed out.

It turns out, the Discovery Channel has covered this ‘tweel concept’ in one of its episode many weeks ago. The tweel version shown in the Discovery Channel is way much better with cool designs. I believe the gold-coloured tweel is actually a concept for the Lunar Rover in which looks doesn’t matter at all. Typical people at NASA doesn’t care how ugly tweel looks like, but what’s most important for them is functionality and weight reduction in the pay-load during launch. I’m sure ‘tweel’ gonna be a hot item for cars or vehicles in the not so distance future.

but there’s one major set back.

its fugly.

if there is someway to cosmetically improve it, i am sure even F1 cars might use it.

The weight reduction alone will help make cars go faster, add on that tuning capability and we have a winner.

Also the weight reduction is going to be a big factor if we’re going all in for electric cars.
