G-Wheel 49cc by Deepkind Elements (www.deepkind.com)
If man could have been made in more than one piece, he would have definitely had wheels rather than feet.
It is certain however, that nothing that works like a wheel has been discovered in nature. Man made it up entirely.
Fire is his greatest discovery; The wheel his greatest invention.
The benefits of the wheel without axles have intrigued engineers for 100 years. Successful vehicle manufacturers have explored various design configurations and arrangements.
Now in commercial production the wheel without an axle has a place in this fun new machine. It provides a low centre of gravity, efficient space management, strength and a distinct weight saving that has never been seen before.
Although the wheel is one of the fundamentals of this vehicle it is manouvered similar to a surf, snow or skate board. As such it is a great cross training tool for all your Extreme sports that can be utilised all year round in all types of weather.

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. This ensured that man’s greatest invention has been re-invented to what we see today with the G-Wheel. G-Wheel has been selected as the “2002 Best Inventions” feature from Queensland, Australia by Time Magazine (November 18), featured on CNN, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, Livin Large, Planet X TV, Action Sports Retailer Show (San Diego), Super Show (Las Vegas) and Milan Motor Show (Sept, 2003).
Presenting from our imagination a stylish two-wheeler for your pleasure and convenience.
