Default New Mk electric wheels

New addition to the MK "super light" wheel series. I received a sample set today and the 60mm wheel weighs 7.8g. About 2 3/8" and .28oz for the metrically challenged (like me).

They seem pretty sturdy - I'll test out this set and see.

Just another option for those needing to keep things light - they will be available from 40mm to 70mm sizes.

What's the axle diameter, Chris? My only complaint with the MK wheels is that you either need a bushing or need to use a huge axle.

standard 4mm axles. MK, Seacraft and any other 4mm ones fit perfectly.

7.8g per wheel, or per set of wheels Chris?

Cool Blue!

That weight is per wheel. There will be some coming in the next shipment from MK probably in early July before the WC
