It’s not a jetpack, but they’re still causing excitement. Inventor Peter Treadway and developer Action Inc. have just invented a pair of motorized shoes called SpnKiX!
Motorized shoes? They’re exactly what you think they are. They’re shoes with wheels that have a motor in them to move on their own, so you don’t have to! They’re kind of like the Segway, just not as hilarious looking.
Treadway came up with the idea after having trouble finding a parking space at a lot in Los Angeles, California. Sure, moving shoes seem like a good solution from getting from your car to a building, but should one really go speeding through a packed parking lot on moving shoes? It sounds both dangerous and fun all at the same time.
In the meantime, we’re going to stick with good old fashioned walking, running, and motor-less rollerblading. When the SpnKiX can work on water, then we’ll talk.
