G-Wheel, aka Wheelman

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 21 May 2009 03:20:00 +0000

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.

G-Wheel Videos:

Tearing up the grass, sliding in the dirt, cruising the beach, that's the G-Wheel life! Don't be the last on your block to own one!

One of the Greatest Gifts You Should Give Your Child

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 01:43:00 +0000

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted by the National Institute of Health there are now more than 12 million obese and overweight children in the United States. This statistic has more than doubled over the last twenty years! Obesity has put children at risk for serious problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and psychological and social problems.

Fortunately, parents can take steps to engage energetically in the cause to prevent this epidemic from growing by exercising together as a family. University of Michigan exercise physiologist Dr. Audrey Hazekamp suggests parents teach their children by example, by getting up and making exercise fun. Doing so will keep the whole family physically and emotionally healthier. Sharing physical activities with your kids isn't just a good way to get your heart pumping and burn calories, it's a great way to build family bonds. When you exercise together as a family, you are creating memories your child will treasure and studies show children are more likely to exercise if you make it part of there everyday lives. Ensuring your child will grow up to be a healthy adult is one of the greatest gifts you can give to them.

Improve the "strength" of your family and make the conscious decision to be a positive role model for your children by beginning and enjoying family workout time. This can include anything from riding bikes together to stepping outside for a walk while your child rides his tricycle or pedal car. I tend to get my exercise just from chasing the kids around on their ride-on toys. The kids love to switch from tricycle to scooter to pedal car. They don't consider their playing exercise, but fun!

Top Reasons to Own Kids Ride on Toys (AKA Pedal Cars)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 02:31:00 +0000

Author: Rony Pollock

Kids' ride on toys are great purchases. You will find them cute and adorable, durable and strong, actually usable by your children and grandkids, and very low-maintenance. Furthermore, it never hurts to have a nostalgic item in your household. But that is getting ahead of the story.

Rich History

Kids' ride on toys have a rich history stretching as far back as the 1890s, when the Daimler was sold. Pedal cars were often the exact miniature replica of the real cars on the road, from their front grilles to the rear fenders. The pedal car is as much an icon as its full-sized counterpart, especially the Model T and the roadster models.

You can be part of this rich history when you own a pedal car. Just make sure that the model you choose has a history of its own worthy of telling your grandkids.

Decorative Value

If you are lucky to find an antique pedal car today, you will be treated to working horns and lights, clear windshields, movable ragtops, exquisite chrome detailing, delicate hood ornaments, and white wall tires set in an all-steel body with a custom paint job. Two words - iconic cool!

You can display kids' ride on toys under the Christmas tree, or in its own special case in the living room, or in the library, or anywhere you want. It is a fantastic addition to your collection and to your decor!

Collectible Value

With their exquisite details and glossy finishes, complemented by opening hoods and trunks and even detailed engines on older models, kids' ride on toys are fast becoming collectors' items. And who would not want one of their own? It is very beautiful item of the past, which has value in these automobile-crazy times.

Did you know that old models of pedal cars in good condition sell for as much as $2,000 on the market? This is not to say that you should sell for the money but pedal cars are an investment, too.

Trip Down Memory Lane

Pedal cars take you down memory lane. They are nostalgic reminders of younger, happier, more carefree times when you can put the top down, go on full speed, savor the wind on your hair and imagine that you are across the country when all you really crossed was the neighborhood street.

Legacy for Generations

Because of the durable construction, in olden days from steel and in modern days from molded plastic, kids' ride on toys can be passed from one generation to the next. With proper care and storage, you can witness the joy of riding pedal cars from yourself to your grandkids. In a sense, you have preserved a legacy of enjoyment and fun.

If these reasons are not enough to convince you to own a kids ride on toys, then the sheer pleasure of looking at a perfect miniature of your dream cars - a Ferrari F430, a 1932 Roadster, a 1965 Mustang, and a 1965 Shelby GT-350 perhaps - at a very small fraction of the full-sized cars' cost should do the trick. At least then you can boast of having a garage of your dream cars!

Determining Right Size Bike

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 04:34:00 +0000

- A child should stand flat-footed on the floor and straddle the bike.

- At that point, the child should have a minimum of 2" clearance between their inseam and the top bar of the bike's frame. If there is no top cross bar on the bike's structure, the same 2" rule should apply while imagining a bar in place.

- The following general guidelines can also be used as a reference when determining the right size bike for a child, dependent on age and height:

- Ages 1½ to 4 (26" tall to 38" tall) = 10" and 12" bikes
- Ages 4 to 8 (34" tall to 48" tall) = 16" bike
- Ages 6 to 11 (36" tall to 54" tall) = 20" bike
- Teen (54" tall to 60" tall) = 24" bike
- Adult (62" tall+) = 26" bike
