Once again I have a slight difficulty.

There is a motor on one foot I think. There is not a motor on the other foot. So when you turn this on, what the heck happens? :-?

Wile E. Coyote might bid on them, but only if they're made by ACME.

I suppose the assumption is that if one foot is tootling along at 25 KPH the other is probably not far behind.

Of course, it makes me think of the old clip of the guy on skates with the rocket-pack on his back.

If any of youse guys buys these, would please post the video of your first go?

Thanks

They were probably UK sizes anyway, which are different from US (annoyingly). But they've been bought! Wonder if it was someone on here....

... which are different from European (annoyingly), and they all vary from maker to maker (and quite often from shoe to shoe from the same maker). :roll:
