GeoOrbital is a wheel that can turn any regular bicycle into an electric bike in less than 60 seconds. Just replace your standard front wheel with a GeoOrbital wheel and snap the rechargable battery onto the handlebar. (The battery lasts about 12 miles on one charge.) The founders of GeoOrbital, former SpaceX engineer Dakota Decker and Michael Burtov of Cambridge, Massachusetts, pitched their business on Shark Tank in October 2017. They went into the Tank seeking an investment of $500,000 in exchange for 5 percent equity but, alas, did not get a deal.
After Shark Tank, the GeoOrbital wheel won the 2018 Edison Award for Product Excellence and has been receiving 5-star reviews on Amazon (SEE LINK ABOVE). The company has been working with local law enforcement organizations too, to supply police officers on patrol bikes with GeoOrbital wheels, which increases patrol zone range (it can go up to 20 mph), eases rides on hilly terrain and in hot climates, and eliminates having to stop for flat tires. New episodes of Shark Tank air Sundays at 9 pm on ABC. [Related: 27 Favorite ‘Shark Tank’ Products at Amazon — New List]
