Electric Skates Offer High Tech Boogie Nights
The folks at Hammacher Schlemmer are practically DARING you to commute to work in these things or at least raise the technological bar at your roller derby games.
These are the motorized electric roller skates that propel a wearer at up to 8 mph. Riders up to 180 lbs. simply strap the skates on over their shoes, held securely in place by dual fasteners similar to those on ski boots. Each skate has an 80-watt motor integrated into its rugged fiber-reinforced nylon frame that powers its smooth-rolling 6″-diameter rubber tires.
