You can continue testing something after you break it.

Probably ran the casters on a conveyor belt/treadmill for whatever length of time.
At a speed of 3.5 mph, youd only have to run the treadmill for about 12 days to get 10,000 miles. There are testing facilities that you can hire for this.
Or its all made up.

9,000 miles further than I’d walk just to be the man who walks a thousand miles to fall down at your door.

Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, very step you take, I’ll be watching you.

I can’t believe they missed the opportunity to say it’s “Wheel Engineered”

And the spring glows, like in the picture, right? Right … ?

Only when orcs are near

And it shall be called “Sproing” and will glow when orcs are near, or when elven ears can detect the musical stylings of “Jump Around” by House of Pain

Well in the picture it shines, being made of metal and all (and being a rendering it looks extra shiny) , and since they have to paint it anyway for corrosion protection it may end up actually looking like that if they go with blue. In reality I kinda doubt they would choose blue, since black and transparent paint would give a more office approved look.

It shines bright like a diamond.
Which is to say, it doesn’t glow at all, but merely reflects light.

I can’t wait to go across the country in my office chair.

Make sure you wear your seatbelt for protection from the big suvs

that’s like, 500% wheelier than the industry leading wheel

Okay, but for real the spring suspension could be great for a rolling cart or something in my garage for jumping over extension cords or standing mats.
papalonian@lemmy.world 1 month ago
You think they’d say something like “wheel reinvented” if it weren’t truly revolutionary, pun intended?

We had a baby stroller with similar wheels, they where indeed great. You could turn and push the thing with one finger.
Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Does it come with AI, tho?
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The suitcase probably has a display and an app you need to run to unlock it.
Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
Is this for an office chair or luggage?
kamen@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes.

office chair or suitcase?

This is the new Apple wheel.

Are they any more expensive than the $700 wheels they sold last time?
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 month ago
i mean, it’s giving me some ideas how to add functional suspension to my bike, but other than that
thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Gork not happy. Gork make new wheel.
DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 1 month ago
This reminds me I need to buy different casters for my chair.
The current ones are very nice, but my floor is uneven enough I keep popping wheels off and having to push them back on.
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I have some with rollerblade wheels in them, they roll smoothly even over tile.

I was just about to say that, they are so good!
Didn’t even know something like that existed until someone here mentioned it.

Can you imagine being the person that got paid to take this bad boy on the road for 10,000 miles? That’s nearly once around the world. MFer probably took this chair from Alaska to Chile along the Pacific Coast.
