Gear  |  Sport


This carbon fiber “wheel skates", called Chariot Skates($TBA). It looks like a wheelchair that’s been split in two, and each half attaches to your legs. Each Chariot skate has a knee-high main wheel in which your foot is strapped in and suspended just below its axel. For added stability, there’s a smaller wheel near your heel. They only weigh about 5.5 pounds each. Now they are still in the testing phase, and scheduled to be available in June.

These were actually around in the 1940s. I have an older edition of Popular Science Magazine that features a couple skating around in them. :)
