Segway electric skates
Do you like the idea of rollerblading without the effort? You’re in luck – a company called Segway has created some electric skates.
The Segway Drift W1 are motorised wheeled platforms for your feet. To move forwards, backwards or side to side, users must balance on the e-skates. When the user tilts their feet forwards, the skates will move forwards; when they tilt their feet backwards, they’ll move backwards. The skates use a combination of sensors and a control system to work out which way a user is tilting. It may sound a little dangerous but the new e-skates have been given American and European certifications for product safety.
