Electric spinning wheels or eSpinners have some great features like high speed in a small footprint and they're increasingly accessible to a wider audience thanks to innovative makers, so I'm taking a look at the advantages and disadvantages of eSpinners vs traditional treadle wheels.

They're not the silver bullet to solve all your spinning woes, but depending on your needs, an eSpinner might be a good tool to try.

UPDATE: On the subject of how long it takes for eSpinners to start and stop, Daedalus wheels have a programmable controller which allows you to change how quickly (or slowly) the wheel starts and stops.
