The tires will debut at MotoE, a European circuit event that only allows electric motorcycles and has named Michelin its sole tire supplier.
Michelin said before the 2021 MotoE series that a third of the material for its tires would be renewable, and the figure has inched closer to 50% ahead of the 2022 event.
