The innovative tyre, which will be sold from 2014 as exclusive original equipment on the new electric scooter from BMW, minimises roll resistance in favour of greater energy savings

The new scooter tyre from Metzeler Feelgreen has already been chosen as original equipment by BMW for it’s electric C evolution scooter, unveiled today at the international press conference and which will be used by some journalists at the Olympic Games to move around the area. The new electric scooter from BMW will be fitted with the following set of Metzeler Feelgreen tyres: 120/70 -15 (56S) FEELGREEN on the front and 160/60 R15 FEELGREEN on the rear.
There are many factors which affect the energy or fuel consumption of a two-wheeled vehicle and the tyres play a crucial role. Consumption is based on the concept that, in order to move a tyre forward, energy is required. The new Feelgreen from Metzeler was designed to guarantee low energy dissipation. Metzeler engineers worked hard to reduce the weight of the tyre by 17% and the rolling resistance by more than 25% compared to the Metzeler Feelfree. The rolling resistance figure could be even higher once the current perfecting phase ends. The Feelgreen riding performance maintains the characteristic elements that Metzeler products are famous for: quick warm-up and excellent handling, which is indispensable for city riding.
