"This technology is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE... the GeoOrbital experience is amazing!"
"Revolutionary"
"Radically Different"
WE ARE SOLVING A REAL PROBLEM
Every day, millions of people sit in traffic in "mega-regions" all over the world, burning time, fuel, and sanity. It's clear thatthe future of transportation is electric and thatelectric bikes are by far the most popular electric vehicle. However, electric bikes tend to still be too expensive and too burdensome for a lot of consumers. With a 60 second installation and priced under $1,000.
"The device allows people to bicycle to work without sweating, or to ride via routes with hills that they would otherwise be unable to conquer”
GeoOrbital “Reinvented The Electric Bike”
WHAT DRIVES US
Since our launch in May 2016 we havealready made a real difference in transportation.To date our customers have converted almost 3,000 manual bicycles into affordable electric vehicles.
With this campaign on NetCapital we are building a community by including everyone in our growth. Great products have the support of great people and we are looking for great investors to join us in our journey so we grow together.

"GeoOrbital is a true innovator"
A FRESH APPROACH TO ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST MARKETS
The GeoOrbital bicycle wheel is not only for those that might want to buy an E-Bike but also for the owners of the over 1 Billion pedal bicycles in the world today. The Patent Pending GeoOrbital platform will power wheelchairs and many other alternative electric vehicles.
It is interesting to note that there were just 1.2 million electric "cars" in use globally in 2016.
THE GEOORBITAL WHEEL TECHNOLOGY
An orbital wheel is a wheel with no center – it “orbits” around an empty area, rather than spinning as a result of being connected to a central axle or “hub.” For example, have you seen the movie TRON? The wheels on those motorcycles are examples of orbital wheels (sometimes called "hubless wheels" or "centerless wheels"). The Patent Pending GeoOrbital wheel is an evolution of the Orbital wheel platform, where instead of orbiting around an empty space, the center of the wheel contains components that make the wheel function as an “all-in-one” vehicle propulsion system. We call this central mass a “Geo.” The most powerful aspect of this new platform is that this “Geo” remains stationary with only the tire rotating, this frees the GeoOrbital platform from the constraints of traditional wheel (and vehicle) designs and opens up a world of opportunities.
This new type of wheel was invented in 2014 by a non-engineer and future CEO of GeoOrbital, Michael Burtov, who was inspired by the 2010 TRON movie. Michael managed to build the first prototype in his kitchen and by working with a top intellectual property law firm, Foley & Lardner, filed the first patent application. When Dakota Decker, an engineer from SpaceX, joined the team a few months later, he began growing the prototype into a product. Over the next 2+ years GeoOrbital built and tested 5 generations of rideable prototypes and filed additional patent applications. We have tested and validated this new technology and our company has now become synonymous with this radically different design which is now enjoying commercial success with consumers ordering and using the wheel all around the world. Our Kickstarter campaign was one of the most successful ever and Best Buy, the number one technology retailer, carries the product today.

THE PLATFORM
The GeoOrbital bike wheel is the most elegant solution to turn your bicycle into an e-bike and we are very proud of that. It is a real and tested product that can be purchased today, installed in seconds, and is already helping alleviate global transportation challenges like noise, pollution, congestion, and parking.
The GeoOrbital platform, however, is so much more than a bicycle wheel - it is a transportation system so versatile that its applications are still in their infancy. The GeoOrbital wheel occupies effectively the same amount of space as a standard wheel but contains a motor, a battery, a computer, and sensors - imagine the possibilities when the entire powertrain of a vehicle exists in the wheels alone.
With the GeoOrbital wheel a vehicle no longer needs a drive shaft to transfer power to the wheel(s), which:
- reduces weight
- increases the range of motion (allowing for sideways driving/parking)
- frees-up the space for occupants and cargo
- creates the ability to independently drive any or all wheels with variable power (improving efficiency, safety and handling)
- provides new unprecedented design freedom
We are dreaming of a better future and are uniquely positioned today to participate in shaping the urban landscape of tomorrow by redefining what a 1, 2, 3, or even a 4 wheeled vehicle can be.

FEATURES OF THE BIKE WHEEL
60 SECOND INSTALLATION
The GeoOrbital wheel is by far the easiest way to add electric power to your bike. The only part that isn’t in the wheel itself is a simple thumb throttle, which is easily clipped onto your handlebar.
UP TO 20 MPH
For our consumer wheel we use high powered 500W motors (750 Peak) and Panasonic 36V removable Lithium-Ion batteries with a no-pedaling range of up to 20 miles per-battery.
USB OUTLET
With our built in USB outlet you can charge your phone, bike lights, or even a speaker on the go. Remove the battery from the wheel to have a massive portable power bank to take with you.
FLAT-PROOF TIRE
We displace the air inside of a standard bicycle tire with a specially developed hi-density foam. The result is a tire that acts just like a traditional bike tire, but you will never get a flat. Never!
"The way it works is simple: Just snap off the front wheel of any bike and attach [the GeoOrbital] wheel in its place"
"Great Design"
"Reinvented the wheel"
“Hit 20 MPH on your bike without breaking a sweat”

We Are Changing How People Buy Transportation
By partnering with global retailers including Best Buy we are redefining how transportation products are discovered and purchased by consumers.
Outside of selling directly on our website and through our network of Ambassadors we are partnering with top retailers to launch a new category of product -a way to turn the over 1 Billion already made bicycles into affordable electric vehicles that 94% of Americans already know how to use.Working with best-in-class retailers also allows us to create more volume sales, raise awareness, and, in turn, reduce costs.
Priced under $1,000, the GeoOrbital wheel, when mounted on a standard bicycle, makes one of the most affordable quality electric vehicles available.
Because our community launched us and led to our viral growth we have an active network of hundreds of Ambassadors that connect existing GeoOrbital owners with potential customers. Our Ambassadors make a commission when someone in their network makes a purchase. The Purchaser also receives a discount.
