Spinning Wheel- Schacht Sidekick

"This pint-sized gem has everything we wanted to see in a travel wheel: a terrific little spinner that is comfortable, stable, and easy to fold and unfold. We employed bicycle technology in its design: a drive wheel turned 90 degrees as on a bicycle, precise tension control for the drive band, and quick-release levers for easy folding and unfolding" Schacht
