The G-Wheel is a center mounted engine and frame vehicle, supported at each end by a spokeless wheel into which your feet can be inserted while standing upright.
The 2009 G-Wheel has a 49cc 2-stroke engine which takes a mix of gas and oil just like a weed wacker. 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 G-Wheel is also known as: Bushpig Wheelman, Xcite Bike and G-Motion. It was named one of Time Magazine's "Best Inventions of the Year in November, 2002" The G-Wheel has also been featured on television shows like: The NBC Today Show, Ripleys Believe It Or Not, Livin Large and X-Corps TV.
The learning curve of a G-Wheel is very similar to skate/snow/surf board riding. And if you have any experience in these you will be surprised on how fast you pick it up.
At speed you use body movement to steer and at low speed (and you can ride a G-Wheel at an extremely slow pace) you can angle the front wheel from side to side with your foot. The speed is controlled by a cable type controller held in your hand, the more you squeeze, the more fun you have!
To slow down, simply let off of the throttle for a slow smooth deceleration. To stop quickly, simply pull the brake lever on the hand held control.
