The first pictures looks just like a thin plywood but when you get on the front view the wood was so thick, so i wonder if this really running.

Hello??? Something sounds sketchy to me about the price. I have a Garmin and it will also tell me how far I go and map it on 25 different websites of my choice. I bet that would cost another 1 million for all that data. Seriously 7500???

On a track where there’s no wind, and you are able to bring it up to speed first, than solid disc wheels would be the way to go. The cutouts only add air resistance in this case.

Apparently it’s the same glue as is used in the plywood itself, if you really want to be nitpicky about it.

I love it.
