what the fucking hell are these? some automated roller skates that make you walk faster or something?
Yeah, they're robot shoes that let you travel at 7mph so you can walk at a running pace.
Can you feel the innovation being bred?
I'll chose just running and $4000 in my pocket thanks
yes and those would be great for me hobbling around our giant grocery stores
just normalize skipping smh
that would be more effort and worse on my joints? fucking weird thing to say when i've expressed a mobility difficulty
I think Drew Gooden (YouTuber) has a video where he bought a pair of these and tried them out. They were awful, apparently.
Here's the video, in case you want to see these things in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9Z05Ik5r2U
I'm kind of curious, thank you. They feel like they'd fit in the garage of the people that bought that shit looking ebike with no spokes
A guy local to me managed to get one from someone who fucking hated it and it's even worse than you'd imagine. The pedal assist kicks in when you push it too fast and that then engages the pedals making it run away from you at speed.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
