How fast can a Hummer EV crab walk?
When CrabWalk is engaged, all four wheels will turn up to 10 degrees in either direction, allowing for diagonal movement to the left or right. At this point, you can drive as fast as 20 mph in CrabWalk Mode. Any speeds above 20 mph will cause the wheels to turn at less of an angle. You’ll be amazed the first time you see this top-of-the-line utility vehicle crab-walking.

This is why I believe that the CrabWalk is a cool party trick and not very useful for everyday driving.At low speeds up to 25 mph, CrabWalk turns the rear wheels at the same angle as the front wheels, allowing the vehicle to move diagonally to help traverse tight maneuvers.

What are the benefits of CrabWalk?
Crab walks force your core muscles, particularly your lower back and abdominals, to engage constantly as you move. The crab walk benefits extend beyond core strength, offering improvements in balance, coordination, and overall functional fitness. Why are they called this way? Because the crabs are walking laterally. So unlike our forward romba walks or those moving back where we’re straight facing or backing the line. In crab walks our body remains forwards as we are walking laterally.
