ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a modular component skate wheel particularly usable in connection with preferably an in-line skate boot. All of the components are interchangeable and the components in preferred embodiments include snap fit surfaces. Preferably, a three piece wheel with interchangeable tire, hub and stationary drum is included to allow the user to adapt the modular skate wheels to the intended purpose. The tires may contain at least one light source for purposes of illuminating the preferably clear, transparent (or translucent) tires. The removable inner hub may be adaptable to contain a two-bearing configuration similar to existing skate wheels for the lightweight skating and maneuverability, such as required for roller hockey or speed skating. A generator may be snapped into the inner hub and used as a means of power to illuminate a light source contained within the tire or located on the boot if a flashy appearance is desired. This arrangement permits the user to mix and match components, so as to customize the modular skate wheel.
