DSI Tyres has introduced locally produced tyres for electric bicycles (E-Bikes) to the Sri Lankan market space for the first time. 
They can now be purchased from all tyre outlets and through the website www.dsityreshop.com. 
The use of normal bicycle tyres is not suitable for electric bicycles and specially designed tyres should be used instead. The tyres manufactured by DSI Tyres for electric bicycles are already in high demand in the global market. 


As electric bikes are ridden at higher speeds than regular bicycles and are more autonomous, specially designed tyres should be used for the bicycles’ self-riding as well as the riders’ safety. As electric bicycles are still a new experience for Sri Lanka, people have little understanding of their proper use. 

These tyres are stronger than normal tyres. DSI tyres for electric bicycles are manufactured with technical properties that facilitate the easy use of brakes and speed control features.DSI Tyres continues to be the leader in the Sri Lankan bicycle tyre market with a market share of over 95 percent due to its high standard and quality bicycle tyres. DSI Tyres also exports tyres to more than 80 countries worldwide.


“Long before the emergence of a discussion about the use of bicycles in the country, DSI Tyres launched several awareness programmes on the same. It is an honour for us as well as for the country to be the first to offer high quality and safety electric bicycles tyres to the Sri Lankan market,” said DSI Tyres Managing Director Kavinda Rajapaksa.
