A Brief History
Now this isn't a new concept, the steering wheel bike made its first appearance in the 1960s and faded out by the 1970s. But good news, as a new generation of bike enthusiasts emerges unaware of the strange and cool innovations of the past so too emerges the rebirth of the steering wheel bike, I call THE WHEELSTER.
The Wheelster, What Is It......
Finally something other than handlebars to steer your bike with. Very simply, The Wheelster is a cool and fun steering component that allows a steering wheel to be mounted to a bicycle eliminating the need for those boring old handlebars. It's safe and easy to use, it also gives your bike a unique look and allows for more maneuverability when riding in tight situations. A real car steering wheel gets mounted securely to the Wheelster stem disk which is then inserted into the bike fork steering tube. Currently The Wheelster is designed to work on single speed, coaster brake bike with threaded forks. (No hand brakes and or gear shifters, but I am already working on design concept to accommodate them)

THE WHEELSTER IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR OFF ROAD USAGE! It's meant for cruising so you can look cool and be seen.
The most common sizes of handlebar stems measure 21.1mm, 22.2mm and 25.4mm in diameter. If you are not sure what size you need look at your old stem quill towards the bottom and the size should be stamped on there.

What Your Contribution Means....
Your contribution means that I can confidently manufacture and bring to market a SAFE, reliable and fun enhancement to the bicycling experience. With enough funds raised I plan to purchase machines that will allow me to manufacture the parts needed for The Wheelster myself, which will keep costs way down, making it more affordable for everyone. I also plan on getting CPSC and CE certified.
Risks And Challenges..... Without risk there is no reward.
The risks and challenges I face are pretty significant, I basically quit my job to pursue this endeavor full time and I am all in. Another challenge I face is mainly due to the fact that I am a one man operation. Although I am actively interviewing potential partners who share my passion and dedication to ensuring this campaign and eventual product launch will be successful. I know this product has value based upon the positive feedback I receive every time people see one of my Wheelster bikes, not to mention that this kind of product ISN'T being offered anywhere else.

F.A.Q s
Q. Is it easy to ride?
A. Yes, it's very easy to ride. After several design concepts I found that having The Wheelster mounted directly in-line, over the front forks make it more stable and maneuverable.
Q. How easy is it to install?
Q. Will it fit my bike?
A. Yes, it should. *The Wheelster is available in the 3 most common sizes of THREADED fork steerer tubes and is currently designed to work with any single speed coaster brake bike. Make sure to specify which size is currently on your bike. See my website for help.
Q. Is The Wheelster safe and legal?
A. Absolutely, 100% Safety is first and foremost with me and my products. Satisfaction Guarenteed.
Any questions or suggestions you may have, please feel free to ask me I'll try to answer as quickly as I can.
