Electric skateboard enthusiasts, meet your new obsession: the Orangatang Dad Bod 105mm wheels. After four years of development, Orangatang has unleashed what might be the most impressive large-diameter wheel designed specifically with e-skaters in mind. These aren’t just big wheels – they’re engineering marvels that redefine what’s possible on your electric board. The 105mm diameter delivers exceptional roll speed and momentum that feels almost unfair. Every push of the throttle translates into smooth, effortless gliding that makes commuting feel like floating.

The secret lies in Orangatang’s new TrypoCore technology combined with their proven Happy Thane formula, creating a wheel that’s surprisingly light at just 15 oz despite its substantial size. What sets the Dad Bod apart for electric skateboard riders is the perfect balance of performance and comfort. The large contact patch (57mm) provides stability at higher speeds, while the rounded lips with surface skin offer predictable handling whether you’re carving through city streets or cruising bike paths.

Available in both 77a and the new 80a durometers, you can choose your preferred balance of grip and roll speed. The offset bearing seat optimizes the wheel’s performance characteristics, ensuring smooth rotation and reduced bearing stress during those longer rides. Fair warning: you’ll need risers to accommodate these giants, but the transformation in ride quality is worth every minute of setup. Whether you’re commuting across town or embarking on long-distance adventures, the Dad Bod wheels turn your e-skate into a premium transportation machine. Just remember to check local regulations regarding wheel modifications, and always prioritize safety gear when testing your newly enhanced setup.
