Reasons to Invest
- A fresh alternative to an outdated product: Our high-performing wheels offer a new, innovative option to the standard tire. While standard tires run into issues like flats, rutting, and frequent replacements needs, our Shark Wheel tires are durable and can handle most situations they encounter.
- High-quality design: Shark Wheel is low friction, fast, maneuverable, easy to swivel with off-road ability, load-capacity, lateral grip, and longevity. Our design can be used both for commercial and consumer products.
- Endless opportunities: There are many items that require wheels, both big and small. We envision our patented sine wave-shaped wheels helping everything from medical gurneys to skateboards move effortlessly across various terrains.
Overview
Reinventing the wheel, literally
We're offering an innovative alternative to the average wheel.
Our patented sine wave shape was a repeating pattern that our founder and inventor David Patrick discovered all throughout nature and appears to be nature's preferred choice of motion. The sine wave can be seen in how snakes slither, fish and sharks swim, how the planets rotate around the sun, and even how humans walk with an alternating gait.
Using inspiration from nature, we developed the Shark Wheel, with the aim to make anything using wheels, from ambulance cots to printing spools, move more smoothly and efficiently.

the problem
Industries are reluctant to change
For 5,000 years, the standard wheel has been the go-to design for most types of transportation. In fact, no one considered there could be a better design. The circular wheel was always considered the final design with no room for improvement.
The standard wheel as it stands isn't the ideal. Issues like rutting, flat tires, and the loss of money and time as a result.
The Solution
A great fit for transportation use
Enter the Shark Wheel.
The Shark Wheel is flat on six sides and displays many scientifically proven advantages compared to the traditional wheel.
The patented Shark Wheel is a great fit for transportation use including wheelchairs, strollers, wagons, farming equipment, military applications, ATV vehicles, shopping carts, tricycles, hand trucks, printers, toys, IV poles, casters, roller skates, luggage, forklifts, office chairs, wagons, vacuums, hospital beds, ambulance cots, other medical equipment and much more. Its patented shape helps to resolve issues like rutting, dealing with flat tires and monetary loss as a result. Our wheels are made to handle various terrains and perform at a high level.
Shark Wheel plans to primarily be a licensing entity.
The following list is a summary of Shark Wheel’s strategy moving forward.
Brand
- Skateboarding and roller skating are the only markets that Shark Wheel plans to build a brand, manufacture and warehouse inventory.
Licensing Agreements
Shark Wheel plans to license its technology to the vast majority of industries.
Shark Wheel plans to license to companies that have specific testing requirements.
Manufacturing
Shark Wheel plans to only manufacture under certain conditions.
Each company must agree to warehouse Shark Wheel’s manufactured product in order for Shark Wheel to sign a Master Supply Agreement.
Shark Wheel expects to not obtain large facilities to warehouse large amounts of inventory.
Shark Wheel aims to work primarily the with #1 or #2 organization in each market and sign an exclusive agreement with them.
New Products
We've been busy lately
Since our previous raises, we've worked on designing and producing the following products:
Electric Kids SUV
New for 2022 and will be selling on Walmart.com among other places.
*The above graphic contains an image of a product that is currently not available for general use.
It is anticipated to be available in Summer 2022.
Mass Market Electric Longboard
This $299 Electric Longboard will be in store at hundreds of Walmart locations starting August 2022 in the e-mobility section. It has what we believe is one of the best in class specs featuring a 20mph top speed and a swappable battery for theoretically unlimited range.
*The above graphic contains an image of a product that is currently not available for general use.
It is anticipated to be available in Summer 2022.
Mass Market Skateboard
This $34.99 Skateboard will be in store at hundreds of Walmart locations starting August 2022 and similar Shark products have had proven sell through at Walmart for several years. This is first year Shark Wheel is not going through a distributor and will manage the account directly. We plan to have this board go into the best selling skateboard Walmart locations and expect to be rapidly expanded to other locations if sell through is good.
*The above graphic contains an image of a product that is currently not available for general use.
It is anticipated to be available in Summer 2022.
Clear Longboard
This CLEAR Longboard begins selling in May 2022 on a Walmart special feature. It includes 72mm Shark Wheels, an acrylic deck that is 100% clear from all angles and a built-in deck light that oscillate colors. Walmart will test to see how well a higher priced (over $100 retail) longboard with added value can sell on Walmart.com. If sell through is good, in store locations could be next.
Farming
Agriculture - Central Pivot Irrigation - Farming Wheel
Shark Wheel won a government grant through the National Science Foundation in January 2018. The grant was for $225,000 to develop a state-of-the-art wheel for the central pivot irrigation industry. After performing extensive customer discovery interviews and graduating through the government's I-Corps program, Shark Wheel learned what the market desires in a wheel:
- Minimize rutting (the industry's largest issue is digging a trench)
- Non-pneumatic tire that can never go flat
- Modular design that makes maintenance easier and more cost-effective
- Enough traction to traverse clay-based and sand-based soils
- Priced with the current industry sweet spot
Shark Wheel built a wheel according to what the customer desires. The test was a success in 2018 and Shark Wheel applied for the Phase II portion of the grant. In Q2, 2019, Shark Wheel won Phase II of the grant for $724,313 to optimize the wheel and bring it to commercialization. Shark Wheel subsequently won a Phase IIb grant for $150,000 in 2021.
Shark Wheel already has a signed licensing deal with one company in the industry and and received formal interest in our technology from two industry leaders.
Agriculture may be Shark Wheel's largest industry moving forward and we are already in discussions for our next farming wheel for sprayer applications.
*The top two images are computer generated demo versions. The other graphic contains an image of a product that is currently not available for general use. It is anticipated to be available in Fall 2022.
The Shark Wheel is named after the shape of shark jaws and through many iterations, Shark Wheel created another biomimetic design for its tire based on the shape of seagull wings. The flexing non-pneumatic, modular lugs of the tire design approximated the flotation of a pneumatic tire. The sine wave shape of the Shark Wheel was placed in the standard tandem configuration on central pivot irrigation machines and the result was a wheel that did not go over the same track as the wheel in front of it. The front wheel moved left-right-left, while the rear wheel moved right-left-right effectively creating a helix shape in the soil. In contrast to a traditional wheel that continues to move along the same track over and over again digging a rut, the Shark Wheel disrupted the soil in a snake-like shape, while the rear wheel pushed the soil back to where it began. This greatly minimized the industry-wide issue of rutting. Shark Wheel estimates an average farmer can save over $27,000 by switching to a sine wave wheel geometry because of less down time due to flat tires, less rutting and greater crop yield.
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
The most recent update came from a test farm in New Mexico where the following two successes were documented:
- 4'' ruts left by traditional wheels transformed into 2'' ruts after running the Shark Wheel in the existing ruts
- The most severe rutting on this test farm came from Tower #1. Traditional wheels dug a 14'' rut. A track filler was used to give the Shark Wheel a smooth starting point. The Shark Wheels left a mere 1'' rut on the same track
Our Traction
Round and round we go
Shark Wheel has completed products for skateboard wheels, longboard wheels, luggage wheels, pallet jack wheels and most recently printing tape. Shark Wheel plans to extrapolate its current designs to enter other similar industries.
Shark Wheel has been successful obtaining grants to date. Shark Wheel has won 3 out of 4 grants it has applied for and believes it is a good business decision to seek more grant opportunities.
The following is a list of awarded grants:
FedEx Nationwide Small Business Grant Winner, 2015
SBIR National Science Foundation Phase I grant ($225,000). Won in January 2018.
SBIR NSF Phase II grant ($724,313). Won in April 2019. (aligned with multiple industry leaders in the irrigation segment of agriculture). Grant concludes in late 2021.
SBIR NSF Phase IIb grant ($150,000). Won in March 2021.
Shark Wheel has multiple issued patents in the United States, the European Union and China. Shark Wheel is patent pending with multiple other applications in process as well. Investment funds will be used to continue to strengthen the patent portfolio.
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
Shark Wheel already has issued trademarks in the United States and one in China for skateboard and roller skate wheels, as well as luggage wheels and pallet jack wheels. Other trademarks are pending in many industries including, medical equipment, wheelchairs and others.

SIGNED Deal with Fortune 500 Company. See Who -->
Hi everyone,
Just in time before the campaign closing in a few hours here, Shark Wheel has officially inked a deal with...
Bridgestone/Firestone
They are the same company, different brand names. We just received the countersigned agreement this afternoon. Shark Wheel has been working on this deal for months within the agriculture industry, specifically for irrigation wheels. Firestone happens to be the #1 tire in all of agriculture!
They have never sold an airless tire before and overnight can sell the Shark Wheel to their deep network of customers in the United States and Canada who are looking for tires that never go flat!
We are in constant communication with many divisions at Firestone and their marketing division is working on a special release. The official press release will be coming in February.
Last few hours to invest or increase your investment.

We Won!
Hi everyone,
The America's Real Deal competition started with 16 teams and last night the winner was revealed. Shark Wheel won Season One and $100,000! It gave us exposure and a sizeable prize.
Our campaign ends tonight at 11:59pm pacific time.
We anticipate sharing another update with you today with any luck. The signing of our deal with (maybe) a Fortune 500 company. The signing of the deal and our campaign closing are both coming to fruition at nearly the same time. We hope to have a signed document today so we can share the good news with everyone! Stay tuned for one more update hopefully today.
01.26.23
$100,000 Tonight?
Recap and New Info:
1. America's Real Deal season finale airs tonight on FOX Business at 10pm PST. Will Shark Wheel win $100,000 tonight? We have no idea, but there is a red carpet event and we will find out in a matter of hours. If you miss it, stream anytime on Roku, Android TV, Apple TV+ or Fire TV by typing in America's Real Deal.
2. Shark Wheel's investment campaign closes tomorrow. The minimum investment is only $399 and you can help us reinvent the wheel.
3. Shark Wheel is about to announce its massive partnership this week in the agriculture industry. Will it be a Fortune 500 company? Stay tuned for the next update.
4. The US Military reached out to Shark Wheel and has authorized a development project to supply the Navy with wheels to transport munitions. More details coming soon.
5. Shark Wheel's demand in agriculture is currently exceeding its supply. This is great news, but also an issue. We are opening a new set of tooling in order to manufacture more quickly and meet demand. We have actually tripled our orders this past week with one of our manufacturers. $10M+ is expected in gross revenues in the next year (before the 2024 farming season begins) for our agriculture division.
6. We received the data on one of our Walmart SKUs (Polyboard Skateboard) and the sell through was great. It is getting renewed for 2023 and there will be an increase in the store count.
7. Shark Wheel expects to have a new signed licensing deal within the next several days for pallet jack and forklifts wheels. (with a leading manufacturer to manufacture and sell)
8. Shark Wheel recently delivered its first order for casters with a large caster company in Germany. Order #2 will be with an industry leader in the US coming soon.
9. Shark Wheel just moved into new office space. As part of its promise to transition to a sales company, Shark Wheel left its larger warehouse/showroom/office combo space and has moved into smaller office space. All inventory has now been moved to a 3PL fulfillment center so we can put our focus on sales and not worry about shipping, logistics, assembly, etc. Shark Wheel has been breakeven or profitable every month for the past several months. It will be highly profitable in 2023 with its new low overhead and and sales focus.
10. Thanks everyone! Invest today before the campaign closes tomorrow.

US Military - Shark Wheel - Exciting
2023 represents the first year that Shark Wheel is a 'sales company'. This means our primary focus is sales, sales, sales. Historically, we have been R&D company, highly focused on trying to figure out how to make a wheel that is superior to a traditional wheel in many applications.
Shark Wheel agreed to take on one project for 2023 - a sprayer tractor wheel for the agricultural industry. Working in partnership with 4 multi-billion dollar companies, Shark Wheel has high hopes for its sprayer tractor wheel. The goal is to commercialize this wheel in 2024 after R&D and testing.
We frequently receive requests to prototype wheels for other industries and applications. Remaining true to our commitment, we have turned down multiple opportunities. We do not feel that we can handle more than 2 projects per year currently, especially as we are ramping up our irrigation wheel (agriculture) sales. With over $2M expected in gross revenue in the next few weeks just on our irrigation wheel, we are putting our focus where it needs to be. The irrigation wheel has a fluctuating selling price depending if we sell to OEM, Distributor, Dealer or Farmer. Taking into consideration our COGS coming from 4 different factories and using an estimated mix of who we are selling to, we are estimating a 40% blended margin overall. The margin could go up or down, but at least gives a decent estimate.
But, an opportunity presented itself that we could not pass on. The US Military initiated contact with us directly. They are looking to improve rolling resistance and off-road performance for certain applications. We are looking to obtain clearance to discuss the initial application with you. What we can say so far is the specific division that contacted us: Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division
Our campaign is closing very soon. It is best to invest now and not wait until the last minute because issues can arise. We plan on updating the initial prototyping military application once we receive permission before our campaign closes.
01.11.23
Last Chance to Invest - Updates
The campaign is nearing its closing date. It is best practice to invest well before the end date to make sure that no issues arise with little time left in the campaign. We have seen disappointment before with investors waiting too long to initiate their investment.
Shark Wheel is nearing a major announcement with a Fortune 500 company this month for agriculture. The Shark Wheel SWIFT (Sine Wave Innovative Flotation and Traction wheel) agriculture wheel for the irrigation industry is ramping up production and has its first several hundred wheels shipping this week. Production significantly ramps up in February with thousands of wheels manufactured and assembled. The contract is in our lawyer's hands and the last details are being finalized before an official announcement. We have already been invited by this company and will be presenting to their entire dealer network at the end of January as their airless tire solution.
Demand is currently outpacing supply and we are trying to double or possibly even triple our manufacturing output capabilities within the next 4-6 weeks to meet demand before the farming season begins in April.
The tv show, America's Real Deal, concludes January 26. We air on a featured episode on FOX Business January 19th at night. We are currently in first place and on pace to win their $100,000 top prize.
We just fulfilled our first caster order ever. We have sold luggage and have luggage licensing deals, which use casters, but this is our first order just for casters. Our 2nd order is expected in Q1 from the industry leader for educational furniture. It is a sizeable account for us - original estimates are ramping up to 250,000 casters per year with this one customer.

Notice of Material Change in Offering
[The following is an automated notice from the StartEngine team].
Hello! Recently, a change was made to the Shark Wheel offering. Here's an excerpt describing the specifics of the change:
Issuer is removing a Director & Officer
When live offerings undergo changes like these on StartEngine, the SEC requires that certain investments be reconfirmed. If your investment requires reconfirmation, you will be contacted by StartEngine via email with further instructions.
12.28.22
Walmart
We have been informed by Walmart that they will be increasing our SKU count and store count for 2023. This is big news!
Sell through has been good so far and we will receive official commitments in late January/February time frame for 2023 orders.
Shark Wheel has successful sold product into Walmart for several years now, but 2022 is the first time we have gone direct. Previously, we sold through a large distributor. It allowed us to learn the ropes, but it took margin away from us and did not allow us to present our entire product line.
In 2022, Shark Wheel was considered a 'first year vendor'. This means our SKU count and store count was throttled back to make sure we could handle the orders from a financial perspective and from a manufacturing/shipping timeline perspective. Walmart cannot work with a brand new supplier and throw millions in orders at the company and hope for the best. They take a measured approach and as you prove your sell through and your ability to handle the process, they increase your orders.
Shark Wheel also had its first-ever meeting/pitch with Target. Target was very interested and is looking to see if they can bring Shark Wheel in for at least one SKU to start. The issue is that skateboards, scooters, bicycles, etc. had such strong sales during the peak of COVID sales in 2020-2021 that all companies over-ordered. Small retail shops over ordered, distributors over ordered and even big box retailers over orders. No one predicted the level of sales drop off that would occur. If you Google Nordstrom, Walmart, Target and any other major retailer you will see many are stuck with unsold inventory in a variety of different products. Walmart is actually cancelling POs for the first time in the clothing division due to too much inventory.
Target is likely to bring us on once inventory levels begin to normalize. The same is true for several other retailers we have been speaking with including Meijer, Dunham's, Big 5 Sporting Goods (who we have sold through in the past), Academy, Costco, Walmart Canada, Costco Canada and others.
12.22.22
Agriculture - Great News
Shark Wheel is gearing up production and will ship its first agriculture-related wheels in January after 4+ years of hard work!
Hundreds of thousands of dollars in product is on order. We have thought ahead and diversified our supply chain to make sure if one factory has delays or any issues that we can be in full production immediately with a different factory. We are ordering from two different factories for our wheel and two different factories for our paddles (which make up our modular tire).
Central pivot irrigation machines irrigate the majority of farms in the US. 300,000 wheels are sold annually in North America alone. By this time next year, Shark Wheel should be partnered with nearly 80% of the industry at this time next year. Shark Wheel is already partnered with over 30% of the industry today and a major announcement is forthcoming next month that is expected to take us over 60% of the industry)
If we can capture 10% of wheels sold in the market, that will yield gross revenues of $22.5 million at the low-end estimate. Our proforma shows estimates of reaching that number within 36 months.

Where's the finish line? I don't think IPO makes sense in this scenario, but what strategic acquirers are out there for wheels? Is private equity buyout the only exit plan? Not confident in any liquidity event down the line for this investment even if the company performs as they claim to.

I'm conflictied. I want to believe that this is a good investment but I'm not sure. I'm pretty comfortable with the "wheel" itself. I'm wanting to believe that management is competent and focused but I'm not sure. I agree that commercial applications is the best direction or most most lucrative direction to go in the short term. I'm still worried about the focus of the leaders.
Another concern is the Shark Tank deal falling through. Even if the reason was the fault of the presenters, I'd like to know why. I definitely would not think its a reason not to invest because misunderstandings and things change.
I'd really love to see more commercial applications with this wheel such as the agricultural that you have developed. Go big. I'm dreaming. I'm a small investor. I'm most concerned about the leadership of this company because I believe in the product or at least the concept.
Thank you,
Ted

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
