K2 Strobe wheels (PACK OF 2 wheels)

k2 strobe wheels

LED skate wheels use a magnetic dynamo system to generate electricity from the wheel’s rotation, which then powers the LED lights. There’s a magnetic spacer inside the wheel that acts like a generator, transforming the mechanical energy of the spinning wheel into electricity. No batteries are needed, and the wheels light up automatically when they roll.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Magnetic Spacer: These wheels have a special magnetic spacer inside the wheel hub between the bearings.
Dynamo System: As the wheel rotates, the magnetic spacer interacts with the hub, generating electricity, similar to a dynamo.
LED Lights: This generated electricity then powers the LED lights in the wheel.
No Batteries: The wheels don’t require batteries; they are powered entirely by the wheel’s motion.
Intensity: The brighter the lights, the faster the wheel is spinning.
Key points to remember:
The magnetic spacer is the key component that makes these wheels work.
These wheels are designed for safety and visibility, especially at night.
The wheels can sometimes require the user’s body weight to activate the lights or a specific bearing pressure.
The hub of these wheels is often thicker than regular wheels, which might require a longer axle or the axle nut to be inverted.
