They are not school students, they are mechanical students training to be professionals. Probably their achievement is good enough in their college level. But if you want to put some article in a website like rediff.com which is seen internationally (by Indians) , then you need to have some merits in what you put.
I am not saying these guys can’t come up with a better product or innovation. But these guys have taken short cut, they should have done more research in developing something that is practical and appealing to end users.
I can understand they may not have the cash to invest in research. But what about the tyres, who wants to ride a car with cycle tyres. This is where they get 180 miles / litter, so I don’t see any innovation.
I don’t think Cycle tyres can travel or last a speed anything above 20 km/hr. I think we are better off walking.
Others would have done the same thing if they thought about a cycle tyre in a car.
