Categorie: Accessories
Product: MICHELIN Protek Max – Bike innertube
Bedrijf: Michelin Reifenwerke AG & Co. KGaA, Karlsruhe/Duitsland
Design: Michelin Reifenwerke AG & Co. KGaA, Karlsruhe/Duitsland
Jury: “A product that’s almost 100 years old that has really been improved: it is virtually resistant to punctures, much easier to fit into the tires and holds the tire pressure for longer. To improve such a daily product so much is definitely worth a GOLD award!”

Jury: “This fully automatic parking garage and rental station can accommodate from 20 up to 112 bikes – depending on the height, it can be varied for one or up to six levels. A great ecological and efficient concept that really needs a push forward. Thanks to its appealing design and theft protection features, people will be encouraged to use bicycles more than ever before. A really convincing, forward-looking concept that fits well into any city landscape. Powered by solar energy, the garage also does its part to save our resources. It can be used 365 days a year, around the clock. A real innovation: it will first be installed at the main train station in Meckenbeuren in mid-August 2011. As we see it, a real trailblazer for ‘green mobility’.”
