VIDEO: Into the future with RocketSkates!
California-based RocketSkates believes its battery-operated roller skates are the next great mode of transportation.
RocketSkates CTO, Peter Treadway says the roller skates can be worn with any shoes.
The skates have a top speed of approximately 15km/h - three times the average walking pace.
According to Treadway, RocketSkates has sold just over 1000 pairs of the skates.
They retail for between $500 and $700 (R5000 - R8000) per pair.
Is this an incredible invention or simply evidence of how lazy we are becoming?
