GET LOW WITH THE HOPPER

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”.

“I have a Hopper. Best decision I ever made. I can spin everything from frog hair fine to thicker than my thumb art yarn. Love it!”
