SpinOlution Hopper Portable Spinning Wheel

The Hopper is SpinOlution’s first spinning wheel engineered for spinners wanting a unique wheel that could be taken easily to festivals, fairs, and on the go. With a carrying handle on the back of the flyer head, carrying this wheel is like carrying a suitcase.

The Hopper is unlike any other wheel on the market, and customers either love it or hate it. We recommend taking a test drive on this unique travel wheel before purchasing.

Chair height and leg extension are the biggest factors when you are spinning on the Hopper. We recommend a low chair, with adequate lumbar support, and positioning the wheel so that you can gently treadle with the balls of your feet and ankles without feeling any “effort” in your legs. If you notice that you can “feel it” in your calves or shins, try a different chair. We call this “The Goldilocks Effect” - when the chair is “just right” the Hopper feels “just right”.

The Hopper is our original travel wheel and is unlike any other wheel on the market. This unique travel wheel has state-of-the-art SpinOlution engineering for a smooth spinning experience.
