  • Wheel Rotation Speed: Wheel rotation speed in rotations per second.
  • Power: Power consumption in watts.
  • Brake: Wheel braking value.
  • Ground Speed: Wheel speed relative to the ground in m/s.
  • Gear Ratio: Wheel speed ratio.

Configuration

  • Grip: Adjusts the wheel's grip.
  • Suspension: Adjusts the wheel's suspension.
