Question

How do we save petrol when the tires of the motorcycle are fully inflated?

Solution

  1. Tires that are under-inflated have altered points of contact with the road, increasing rolling resistance and friction between the road and the tires.
  2. When the tires on bikes or motorcycles are fully inflated, we save gas because when the tires are not fully inflated, the motorbike needs to consume more gas, which wastes gas.
  3. A properly inflated tire reduces rolling friction, which makes it easier for the engine to overcome resistance.
  4. Additionally, it widens the circle, enabling the bike or automobile to travel farther with each spin of the wheel.
