I wonder if that thing actually puts more stress on the engine/bike rider due to it's 'soft' looking nature. Seems like it would be similar to riding
a bike with a low or flat tire..

Depends on how badly/easily it deforms, I would guess. If it has the same deformation strength as a normal properly inflated tire, it shouldn't be an
issue.

Good point. Pretty cool/good idea if I say so myself. Every time I put air in tires, in the back of my mind I'm worried that it'll explode.

They'd be pretty kick-ass on like Coyotes - smaller scale, they'd be tougher!
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

round those edges a bit and make it in a proper size and you might have a speed machine in the making.
