[@kellymoses8566]

I have always dreamed of making roller blades more dangerous.

[@sueastside]

I had that dream and implemented it! I took of the wheels and added sharp blades, instead of doing it on the road I would do it on frozen lakes and rivers. So any wrong move and you would cut an artery and bleed to death or go through the ice and die of hypothermia.

[@sachinsathiyaamoorthy2477]

[@aidanhegarty9139]

These are super clean and refined! I had made two (heavy, janky, and impractical) electric skate prototypes a couple years back after being inspired by Motorball from Alita: Battle Angel. Super dope to see how you made yours!

[@collinbardini]

Thanks, Aidan!

[@connorelliottPlayland]

I really like how you show the entire design process it's a great tool to learn.

It is coming. The age of Air Gears. Can't wait for the invention of the first Regalia. Who is going to be first to see the Wind Road? When I was younger and that anime first came out, I was like "No Way." Boy, I can see I was wrong the wrong wrong.

Thanks, Thomas!

[@WatchDoggyDog]

so dope. I have been using my rollerblades as my daily driver lately, and eblades like these would definitely ease all the wheel wear down. there are 2 eblades on the market I know of at the moment, and I look forward to having even more options available by the time I can afford to buy them. seems like your design has equal speed and more range than the best current available option, big props!! subbed 👏👏😎👊

Wait! Maybe a line down each leg

[@biggestbee]

this video is super sick! i love channels that make videos like this and i was incredibly surprised to see this was your first considering the script, editing, visuals, etc. were all high quality. i think you could reach more people if you make it clear that you MADE the rollerblades in the thumbnail or title. i'm not sure how much you care about the numbers, but i'd love to see a channel like this grow. (if the video already has 8%+ click-through rate, then just ignore me lol) either way, keep up the great quality and you'll grow regardless!

[@collinbardini]

Thanks for the comment and the feedback! I may try something like "I MADE the Worlds FASTEST Electric Rollerblades" or "Building the Worlds FASTEST Electric Rollerblades" to improve click-through

Great work dude!

[@collinbardini]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@beatnrg]

[@Hanzales077]

Awesome, next level of freedom :)

[@heydaxofficial]

This video is great, pretty impressive! I like how you explain everything really well and excited to see the things you build as your channel progresses. I always thought it would be cool if someone were to build some type of basic "any user" friendly electric platform that could be applied on more than one application. For example, lets say one day you want to ride and electric skateboard/longboard, next you wanted to ride and electric scooter or maybe mount to a bicycle for a little power assistance. Some how have a system could easily switch to these types of applications with only minimal mods needing to be done. I think it would be cool to see the different things users would come up with. Subscribed, Look forward to seeing more of these videos! Keep up the good work dude!

[@collinbardini]

Thanks for the comment! Cool idea too!

[@manlikidormer8324]

Amazing video 📹 and amazing work 👏

[@LiteLotus]

i had an idea like this for the longest time, but I got so focussed on making hub motors for the wheels. excellent solution. great build!

[@collinbardini]

Thanks! I got side tracked on hub motors for a while too. They have some major advantages, but for a DIY project are tricky

[@LiteLotus]

@@collinbardini i was considering making the plates for the motor core myself in a makerspace near me, but none of them have the capability to cut metal. then I thought about getting a local cnc shop to cut them for me but I couldn't justify the cost for multiple prototype runs. i love the chain solution, but I feel like its not as freeing as hub motors might be for something commercial. i also hate the noise, one of the things I like about blading is its quiet. still, great vid!

[@Lantea13]

That is a really cool project. Love it.

So happy I'm not the only nutty engineer! I worked on some clamp-on skates, managed to go a few miles along the Charles River in Boston. Electric was always the goal, to try to get the most fun in the most portable size possible. I still have a design CADed up but the price was..... Prohibitive lol. You are a badass!!

[@collinbardini]

Thanks and welcome!

[@barryszymanski8022]

when I first entered the world of electric scooters I didnt know anything about the different types of motors and the balancing of wattage and voltage after building a couple scooters out of parts I had Im more seasoned you can say it still amazes me the options had a gas scooter who's motor was completely ruined stripped it down to the frame got the specific dimensions needed to weld on a plate for the 1000 watt magnet motor I had screwed in a heavy duty tote to rack on the back where I ran the controller and battery geared up the motor sprocket and voila 36v 1000 watt 20 amph it was fun can't wait to do another

[@dansacco1964]

Very cool. You could use load cells between the wheel frames and the boot so they would operate like a self balancing hoverboard or unicycle. Leaning forward would increase speed in an attempt to centralize your weight. However this would drastically mess up your normal skate stride and require your legs to be side by side. Perhaps a throttle that detects the side load during your normal skating stride would work. So side load on the right skate would throttle the left skate faster. Seems like it would amplify your natural stride.

[@collinbardini]

Good idea, Dan! I did attempt using load cells to detect if the skates were on the ground, but my frame was too rigid to get any reading out of them. I think they are still possible, but it would require a redesign of the skate frames. My plan going forward is to read the motor current and speed to detect if the user is pushing and if there is no load on the wheels. Thanks for the comment!

[@ericlotze7724]

16:17 HELL YEAH!!! Open Source For the Win!

[@ericlotze7724]

*granted I don’t have the money for it now*, but i would GLADLY buy a kit/prebuilt once, so that may be a neat thing to do. Granted Fun One Off Project -> Small to Mid Scale production may be hard, and also kill off the fun factor/be something you aren’t interested in. Either way, i just thought I’d throw that out there in case anyone else thought similarly.

[@collinbardini]

Those look pretty cool! It makes me happy to see there are companies entering the space. One day I would like to do a comparison video on those

[@jordskates]

They look a lot better and go twice as fast as a brand that I've seen available that makes electric skates (frame attachment). Well done! I'm really excited to see how this technology progresses over the years. I'd love it if by the time I'm too old to skate much if I could have some electric skates which weighed the same and also looked the same. Maybe if we get bearing size hub motors and solid state batteries we could have electric skates that are completely indistinguishable from non electric skates like we sort of have with bikes

[@kirbyscovers]

Great video and project Collin - very inspiring - I rollerblade myself for fitness and now an avid EUC rider - have always wondered if dual wheels side by side (so 4 instead of 2) would be possible and what type of stability that would provide. Many a time I've hit unseen pebbles and have nearly wiped out and thought if a 4 wheel config would work .. not the old style wide skate with 4 wheels ... but a slimmer ver for inline skates ... just a thought.

[@LoomyFPV]

[@Theeslickness]

Incredible work Collin! Here I am trying to do the opposite, I'm trying to slow down my 110mm wheel blades because I can't slow down effectively LOL. I created a hand brake with a cable pulled brake caliper for my right blade that clamps on the two rear wheels. Your design is so elegant.

[@collinbardini]

Thanks for sharing, Daniel! That's a cool solution!

[@marktechsci]

Why not hockey stop?

[@Theeslickness]

@@marktechsci because I'm not that skilled , I don't want to destroy my wheels, and because the brake will be a full stop while standing.

[@Typical-gamer-dad]

Extreme Electric Roller Derby! That would be bad ass. Why not. Everything else is going electric.

[@SimplyAlteringMaterials]

Very cool! Have you tried looking into power tool, li-ion batteries considering how light weight they are? They also have a nice convenient holding slot you're probably able to utilize in using to attach them to each skate perhaps. And also by utilizing the slot of the batteries, you're then able to switch them out when the batteries die out on you on long trips. You'd probably want to try adding solar panels to charge the batteries as you go on top of your helmet as well, that way on sunny days you'll not need to carry with you extra batteries.

[@collinbardini]

Using tool batteries is certainly possible!

@Collin Bardini All too often you see small channels produce great videos, but things are slow and discouraging at first and many great producers slow. I how ever would love to see more videos from you and see where you get off at. Just mention me in a 100k sub special!

[@christos2991]

Very cool 😎 👌

[@spoonsarefun]

Totally cool design...would be interested in the files. My thought in regards to one rollerblade taking off when lifted would be possibly having a ground disconnect/microswitch under your heel which cuts power to the blade when raised... also id use a single dual motor controller... the advantage to 1bms vs 2 is you can have higher voltage and amp as well as weight savings...

[@jayknight139]

This was epic! I would like to see a more powerful motor and a back pack battery. I wanna see highway speeds

[@orthonormality]

Amazing project! Love your design decisions that keep them as close to regular blades as possible. How are these uphill and how tolerant are the motors with sustained loads? They also make off-road wheels that would be cool to see paired with your setup.

[@collinbardini]

Thanks! They are pretty good uphill and handle a sustained load fine since I am not pushing each motor past 15A currently

[@Clasticon73i]

This setup comes across as very cyberpunk. I suggest using that in your future marketing.😎

[@collinbardini]

[@elliotmarks06]

I have an ebike, and it feels pretty dangerous going 20mph. I can't even imagine going 24 on a pair of rollerblades! Awesome build, but I can imagine why they haven't exactly taken off as a safe and easy mode of transportation!

Add a fail safe. Radio interference can send you flying and hurting you or kill you. Very simple and nicely done 👍🏼 Elbows and Knee protection recommended as well. Millions have learn this the hard way having to live the rest of their lives in pain.

[@collinbardini]

Thanks for the comment! A fail safe on the remotes/controller was one of the first things I added because you are 100% correct that you can end up in some very bad situations. One of the precautions that I have been taking is never going faster than what I can handle on normal skates. I usually brake a lot going down hill for example. Elbow and knee protection are definitely recommended and I will be purchasing some soon.

[@Waxxumus]

Excellent platform flying eagles are. Good solid choice for this project.

[@collinbardini]

They are actually SEBA FR1 Deluxes, but I would love to try some flying eagles!

[@christiaanventer8183]

A thought, adding those spring loaded retractable spoolers to take up any slack in the power cable? It would help getting your cables safe while at any height (crouched to standing). This might add extra strain on the connectors on the boot. Also, polyurethane on a leaf spring to take up any slack in the chain might reduce the noise of chain meshing loosely with teeth.

[@collinbardini]

Love the idea! I have just been rolling up the slack in the fanny pack for now
