Motorized iShoes: for lazy, eco-friendly dorks
Want to save the planet? Get out of your car. Walk, ride your bike, ride an electric bike, buy a scooter, drop your life savings on Segway -- or simply cruise down the street in a pair of iShoes.
Not exactly the sexiest things you'll ever put on your feet, these motorized roller skates can race down the sidewalk at a not-too-shabby 15 mph, despite by 16 pounds per pair. They run on rechargeable batteries, so -- especially if you've found alternative ways to give your gadgets juice -- their environmental impact is minimal. Plus, those batteries will last up to 7 miles, meaning quick jaunts around the neighborhood will soon be no problem.
The question is: can you use the iShoes without falling on your face?
