Roller Blade Power?

[slawenm]

bored and searching through Ebay I came across these badboys www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Petrol-Roller-Blades-26cc-Scooter-Skates-Job-Lot-/19060439440

I doubt they are very fast or safe but I would give an arm and leg to have a go on these for a few hours.

quick video of them being used cant find much good footage of them on youtube

dont seem so fast but having a 2 stroke motor on your boot and going along would be a rush

Bad idea.

If the engine catches fire you're leg is gonna get cooked. You're better off with a little stand up gas scooter so you can ditch it if there's a problem and besides that it's probably really awkward having the power only on one foot.

Heck no!!! Not for me thanks....I cant even stay on those things w/o an engine!

This is about the success I'd expect out of them for me...



Looks like the same 2T they put in some midbikes and the other kind of scooters (skateboard with handlebars basically). Could be made to go faster, not sure that's a great idea?

Suggest with a helmet, knee and elbow pads...

yeah they seem poor I wouldnt of bought a pair but I'd hire some in a off the road tarmac area for a few hours

I used to blast around on a scooter with an engine when I was in my early teens I split the footboard (was made of wood) got a little unsure of its build quality and swopped it for a play station.

Have you seen the Wheelman?

now thats even better! nice to see hes smart enough to wear all the padding and armor too but riding in a plublic place with that thing aint too smart, hes protected by his padding but if he zooms into some poor sod they wont be too please.
