Pedal when you want or sit back when you don\u2019t. Electric bikes make exercising accessible, whether you are super fit or just want to get moving again and could use an assist. In fact, studies show e-bike riders get more exercise as they ride much more often, and for longer distances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How does it work?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Patented GeoOrbital wheel is an evolution of the orbital wheel (a wheel that has no center and \u201corbits\u201d around an empty area rather than spinning as a result of being connected to a \u201chub\u201d \u2013 think of the wheels on the motorcycles in the movie TRON). The GeoOrbital wheel replaces a standard bicycle front wheel to turn your bike into a powerful electric bike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>60-second Installation<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/geoorbitalwheel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9805 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/geoorbitalwheel-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/geoorbitalwheel-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/geoorbitalwheel-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/geoorbitalwheel.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/geoorbitalwheel-560x315.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Installation takes under 60 seconds and only part that is attached separately from the wheel is a simple thumb activated throttle, which is easily clipped onto your handlebar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Never<\/b><b> Change a Flat Again<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The GeoOrbital wheel comes with a NoFlat tire, so you never have to worry about getting a flat or even checking tire pressure.
