The research and development of the G-Wheel has taken place over the past 20 years from the principal concept by Grant Taylor to the refinement by production design engineer Muzza Grant. As such, it is a great cross training tool for all your Extreme Sports! It provides a low center of gravity, efficient space management, strength and a distinct weight saving that has never been seen before.Īlthough the wheel is one of the fundamentals of this vehicle it is maneuvered similar to a surf, snow or skateboard. Now, in commercial production the wheel without an axle has a place in this fun new machine! Successful vehicle manufacturers have explored various design configurations and arrangements. The benefits of the wheel without axles have intrigued engineers for 100 years.
"If man could have been made more efficient, he would have definitely had wheels rather than feet." The vehicle will slow quickly but smoothly, then/or you angle the toes of your rear foot toward the ground until the pads come into contact, the harder you push the faster you stop. To stop, all you need to do is let off the throttle and gradually squeeze the brake lever. The speed is controlled by a cable type controller held in your hand, both the thumb throttle and hand brake are easy to use! So, if you have any experience in these you will be surprised on how fast and easy you pick it up.Īt speed you use body movement to steer and at low speed (and you can ride the G-Wheel at an extremely slow pace) you can angle the front wheel from side to side with your foot. The learning curve for a G-Wheel is very similar to skate/snow/surf boarding. It holds around one liter of fuel and will give you a run time of over one hour or 30 miles and speeds up to 25 MPH. The 2009 G-Wheel has a 49cc 2-stroke engine which takes a mix of gas and oil just like a weed wacker. The G-Wheel is a center mounted engine and frame, supported at each end by a spoke-less wheel into which you insert your foot while standing upright.
