Z Products: Z-Roller Trucks, Lightning Trucks and Z-Speed

How did Z-Products ever get derailed into making z-roller trucks, and how on earth were they able to keep them going from the 80’s well into the 90’s? It’s hard to comprehend being able to sell enough of these to remain economically viable in the era of weight obsession and bearing cover-sized wheels. Maybe the plan was to be able to ditch the wheels completely… And just in case you’re wondering, their bearings are “fully rated.”

Oh yes, they made regular trucks too, but you’re all here for the Z-rollers. Believe it or not, they continued to develop these trucks in the 90’s. This is not the first iteration of Z-rollers. They went from something that looked like a tank to something that almost looks light and agile. The original version of Z-Rollers had a thicker black composite roller.
