It was a dark, stormy day.....quite appropriate for the arrival of a pallet of Enhance Traction Tyres.

These tyres are a perfect fit for the Segway i2/i2SE Wheel, as well as the Omeo self-balancing personal mobility device.

The original Segway i2/i2SE tyre is a great general purpose choice, offering excellent grip across a wide range of outdoor and indoor surfaces. Also, it is made from a special non-marking compound.

But if you're primarily using your device outdoors then this Enhanced Traction Tyre is worth considering because it provides significantly improved grip on grass, dirt, concrete, mud, snow and ice. In fact, it was designed as a 'snow tyre' for mopeds and scooters.

Mounted on a Segway PT or Omeo, it provides great grip all year round. One of the first things you'll especially is the improved sense of stability and control as you mount and dismount thresholds/curbs. Just keep in mind at on indoor surfaces such as carpet or linoleum it can leave black marks if you skew around aggressively on the spot.

Segway Tour operators such as Segway On Q in Queenstown, New Zealand, like to use 'snow tyres' like these during winter months.

They're also popular with security companies event managers who deploy Segway PTs, and with Sals Pizza delivery team. For example, here's a photo of an Enhance Traction Tyre fitted to a PT used by Sals after 3,000km of wear, next to a brand new tyre. It still has plenty of life left in it.

Our Enhanced Traction Tyres are available ready to fit to your Segway PT or Omeo wheel.

They're also available pre-fitted to a brand new Segway i2/i2SE Wheel, complete with tube that has an elbow valve stem (this stylish black plastic wheel with built-in reflectors bolts straight onto the Omeo, just 3 nuts to undo to swap between sets of wheels). Segway PT owners, why not treat yourself to a new pair of Fenders at the same time - free with each set of Wheel+Tyre+Tube set.
