The Sidewinding Circular Skates

Part Skateboard, Part Roller Blade ... Back to the Future?
 
Marty McFly would have loved them! These skates are propelled by leaning side to side, allowing you to glide along as if riding a skateboard without pushing off the ground. 
 
Riders simply place their feet on the two platforms and lean side-to-side to rotate the rubber wheels around the feet, propelling riders forward in a serpentine motion similar to longboard skateboarding. Since the wheels are not connected, riders can easily perform 720° spins and turn on a dime, while stopping is achieved by placing toes on the ground. 
 
The wheels are 10" in diameter, allowing them to traverse short grass and dirt surfaces. The included extendable rod can be connected to both wheels, providing stability to novices and hastening the learning period.
 
$99

The Ciclotte

Home Exercise in Style!

Fitness equipment, home accessory, a design object. Finally, an exercise bike for living.

Here is a modern centerpiece for your living room ... that will turn it into your private gym! Either way - this gadget’s unique shape and elegant Italian inspired design is sure to impress.

Ciclotte is a stationary bike that has a unique approach to exercising. The rider’s posture, the minimalist design and the appeal of the materials used immediately evoke the sensations of a road race.

Appr. US$8,500 for the steel version

Oh right, back to the sculpture idea: There is a "Lamborghini" and a "Swarovski" edition should you require an even cooler look!

Buy it here!

The Boosted Board

The World's Lightest Electric Vehicle?
Imagine 2000 watts (2.6 horsepower) on a 12 lb. longboard!

You can do your favorite downhill tricks… going uphill. Or carve and carve… without ever pushing. More time riding and practicing, less time pushing and walking.

What started as a Kickstarter project is now in full swing and available for purchase. There are 3 models available:

$1299 Boosted Dual Drive – 1500 watts to go 20 mph, climb 15% grade hills, and go up to six miles on a charge.

$1499 Boosted Dual+ Drive – 2000 watts of power for 22mph, and 20% grades  ... and the $999 Boosted Single Drive – 1000 watts which will only get you up to 18mph and won't really go up any hills.
