Only when pushing or cornering the smaller grip wheels are in use. When replacing the grip wheels through optional rain wheels you can achieve an even better grip on dry and wet roads.
gripSPEEDER - current information
The gripSPEEDER is a product of funMACHINES that stands for high quality sports equipment and fun of course.
With the gripSPEEDER we have developed one of the fastest inline skates in the world. Thanks to our technical innovation, grip and speed are ideally combined. Our speed skaters, whose sales are dependent on advertising at national and international events, have a clientele that comes almost exclusively from the competition scene. No competitions - no sales. COVID 19 slowed us down there too!
Small consolation:
Perhaps in the coming year there will be an inexpensive and user-friendly version of the gripSPEEDER that wants to manufacture “POWERSLIDE” under license. Designed for the fitness area, it should appeal to a wider audience and corresponding buyers.
The supply of spare parts for our gripSPEEDER models is secured and will continue.
We would like to thank all our loyal fans and, above all, our current and former team drivers, who have made the brands funMACHINES and gripSPEEDER a little better known and have made a lasting impression over the years!
A lot of strength, health and luck to all of you in coping with the current situation!

gripSPEEDER wieder auf dem Treppchen
Gegen den Deutschen Meister vom letzten Jahr, den Venezolaner Alexander Bastidas, war kein Kraut gewachsen. Beim Lausitz Marathon Klettwitz am 9. Juni 2019 erreichte Jonas Lepper, der mit unserem gripSPEEDER 2.3 S unterwegs war, den dritten Platz. Aber auch den zweiten Platz sicherte sich ein Thüringer: Felix Maly.
Glückwunsch Jungs!

gripSPEEDER next Level!
Zum Spreewaldmarathon am 27. / 28. April war die Spannung groß. Mit dem zweiten Platz schrammt Jonas Lepper nur ganz knapp am Sieg vorbei. Super Leistung - Glückwunsch Jonas!
Die Entwicklungsarbeit am gripSPEEDER bringt aktuell deutliche Verbesserungen. Neben der passenden Vorspannung am Fahrwerk haben wir mit modifizierten Rollen weitere Fortschritte gemacht. Jonas assimiliert die Technik des Speeders mit der Technik des kraftsparenden Fahrens und wird immer schneller. Wir sind begeistert.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch von uns, Jonas!
What makes gripSPEEDER so special?
two ultra-light, relatively hard speed wheels in the front & rear
lightweight titanium suspension fork
two small lightweight & softer grip wheels are mounted in the middle
Always best grip
Weight
The gripSPEEDER is the worldwide first speed skate equipped with an extremely lightweight chassis. funMACHINES developed the lightest speed wheels that are currently on the market. These special wheels are mounted on a lightweight titanium suspension fork.
Rebound
The gripSPEEDER has a double rebound which results from the restoring force of the titanium forks on the one hand and from the conventional rebound of the speed rollers on the other hand.
Speed
The gripSPEEDER transfers the energy to the track very directly, efficiently and comfortably due to the deep position of the feet. The low friction during the glide phase of only two rollers, which are supported with double rebound during the initial phase, in combination with the two grill ends result in constant high speed with maximum grip at the same time.
