- …inventor David Patrick claims that his inspiration “came from a cube”.
- Known as the “SharkWheel”, Patrick’s invention is essentially a rolled up helix shape
- …he found a shape that he claims is faster, more stable and provides more grip than a normal wheel.
- Patrick says the wheels have less points of contact that a normal wheel, and roll with less resistance. But they also have more control over grip and sliding, can roll over varying terrain (including sandy paths) and are better in the rain.
