[@ris2ani]

As a prototype these are a great start... I can't believe I live during a time that will allow me to own a pair of Air Treks. FINALLY.

[@williamplomac]

Even if it's seve months later, I recommand you to check atmos gear, it's a french start up who made a real roller skates with a mororized wheel, a lot closer of Air trecks than this.

[@h2osx]

Nice! Just got mine the other day - still getting used to them but have been super fun so far

[@CRS204]

Idk. As a huge rollerblader myself (not aggressive, big wheels) half of the importance of my skates is the ankle stability they give me. Your ankles are so important to keep safe and functioning for you to maintain a normal life. These look like one bad unexpected fall (common when wheels are attached to your feet) could spin your ankle any way life wants. They def look fun I can’t lie. But as someone who’s broke their ankle with support, I’ll definitely never de trying anything like these

[@freelancedentist9480]

Skill issue

[@NWDestroy]

I roll my kankles so often I bought crazy nice braces. But I don't want my dumb ankles to get lazy and rigid, so I just let them flop around and make noises like fireworks. It's more fun and keeps me limber

[@baphbaph6628]

Kankel rolling deep deep, sounds like a song title

[@NanashiKokoro]

We are one step closer to bring the AIR GEAR anime to real life. They are almost identical to Air Trecks!

[@EugeneMaynard]

Version two or three looks like a something for me in the future as I used to love quads and inlines!👍🏾🙏🏾

[@eucryan]

Looks like a great option for the last mile commute, warehouse worker, or around a campus.

[@Sam.Wendorf]

I just got my first pair of normal skates and want to learn to ride them, and this looks like a tasty potential reward for figuring them out! If I can get motivated to learn normally, I am definitely going to look into these.

[@raymondburkitt2636]

Bhodi is a madman! I remember doing some of those skate tricks back in the day (I'm surprised he knows them at his age)!

[@JakeLeary]

he's actually never rollerskated before, he just put them on, closed his eyes for a second and said, "I know skate fu"

[@xxcsokixx]

@@JakeLeary He would not be Bhodi if he would not do that lmao

[@qt_stacy]

lmao skate fu

[@IlyasAbdulrahman]

I just got my own pair. Having them has been a great time and has led me down the road of looking to get a onewheel or an EUC. I'll have to get back on Facebook so I can be more in the know on betas like these. Airtrick said they'll be coming out with an inline version, I'd be interested in a bigger wheel/offroad version for trails since the speed isn't too bad.

[@cybermuse6917]

Literally been looking into ways to travel cheaper on flights abroad! Please do a milage test and battery charge time test!

[@togrulkamal8420]

2nd!! :)

[@roostertrabbit4767]

Those look awesome. I have decades of skating including rinks and parks. I would have loved to beta test them. I’ll hit you up if we get up to Sacramento. I’d definitely mod the skate straps and probably figure out how to make it more solid.

[@JakeLeary]

Even just the one nylon strap on the front makes it like 5x more rigid. And footwear choice can have a huge impact as welll

[@AdrianSangil]

How does it do with uneven roads or small unexpected cracks?

[@nicoaleman]

Okay these actually look fun as hell haha

lol and you ride a onewheel too. so do i. and yea…really nothing will ever replace my onewheel. that part where you talk about turning your dumb errands into fun adventures had me thinking about my onewheel instantly. now i know why. cheers buddy, float on!

[@DrewLakebrink]

Could be fun, but how does it handle bumps, dips, and debris? At 13mph that stuff will come up pretty quick. Might not be able to hop over stuff.

[@GThePreacher]

word

[@rustinroy9911]

I tried these out. The are definitely underpowered. I’m close to the max weight and even slight hills are too much for them. Regen braking is pretty weak. It’s okay for braking on level ground but definitely not on even shallow hills. The stopper can help if you practice that enough. I had a max speed of 15mph with no load, just holding them in my hand. I didn’t like the straps either. Too stretchy and hard to adjust. I do love the size and weight. I wanted them to be able to work but not for me. They would be great for level smooth ground and need something compact. I’ll stick with my skateboard and Onewheel which are faster, able to use on hills, handle bumps in the pavement much better and longer range. They can’t beat the air tricks on size and weight though. Air trick needs to come out with a more powerful motor and ability to break harder when needed. More useful strap choices are needed too.

[@JakeLeary]

What’s the max weight? And were you on the standard version or pro?

[@rustinroy9911]

@@JakeLeary 100kg/220lbs. I’m 215lbs using the pro skates. They claimed 7-13 deg hill climb I figured I could do 7 since I’m at the heavier end but they said the 7-13 deg climb is at their standard weight of 150lbs. Think they could work for lighter people looking for a small package and don’t live in hilly areas. I’ll stick with the Onewheel and skateboard though.

[@xnightdwellerx8168]

These are sick! Would love to see more vids on them

[@briangennardo6937]

The tech is getting better and better

[@grandtheftave]

One step closer to making my Air Gear dreams a reality 😂

[@brycestrife5605]

This was a fun review. I like seeing all types of pev's.

[@icxonrus]

I would buy them as is! Also hear me out - snowboard style bindings or step-ons.

[@JakeLeary]

That would work great. I suggested nylon/velcro just cuz it’s probably cheaper and easier than a plastic ratchet system

[@kitcatmeeow571]

Totally STOOPIT straps. Another vlogger swapped them out with velcro straps. THANK YOU for testing stairs, it's really important. Nobody wants to have to take them off every time they need to use stairs. The Moonwalker eskates get good reviews on stairs. Out of Airtrick, Rollwalk and Moonwalker which do you prefer and why? Ty so much ! 🤗

[@lilaycian]

Not just smoke breaks, but also really limited breaks. 8 hour day, one half hour lunch for example. 30 minutes out of a whole day to wolf down some food and maybe breath a second.

[@TheRealJoeyToews]

Well shit, now I need to convince my wife I need these in addition to my two Onewheels…

[@NotHeresrsly]

I wish these had longer range (swappable batteries?), and were powerful enough to go up sharp hills (30 degree incline) - I pretty much need all of That to replace my electric skateboard (Tynee mini 2)

[@JakeLeary]

I think if you pump and throttle you could get up a 30 degree incline. 30 degrees is much too steep for a Onewheel btw

[@-D-W]

I'll stick with my old-fashioned quad skates, with outdoor wheels. I prefer the health benefits that are provided with actual physical activity.

[@Go.el_Hadam]

do a range test and a coffee run. I want to see some real usage. these are so affordable and practical compared to other PEV's.

[@jamesmcgraw7866]

Give em the standard treatment. Range test and trick ride videos. Look out Sac!

[@Mr-eGolf]

More of these sensei!! I love the content! So much fun!

[@esk8jaimes]

Really hope they make a new edition with larger 90mm 70a wheels and swappable battery packs.

[@JakeLeary]

Larger/softer wheels would be dope, I think more wheels similar to the moonwalker would be really good too

[@esk8jaimes]

@@JakeLeary I'm probably seeing it from an electric skateboard perspective, there's one other electric roller skate company to look into called Escend and theirs uses two 400w motors, 15mph top speed, 5ah battery and 105mm 70a wheels.

[@flyinghans8319]

Really sad thing they only have such cheap brakes. I do mountain runs and was always searching for a light gadget toget me back down again. But therefor I would need a stronger brake without 0 and 1 brake system.

[@JakeLeary]

Have you found any gadget that does fit your needs? The motor brakes might be at the perfect setting to keep you at a decent speed going downhill

[@theob1712]

Probably needs more ankle bracing to be safe for every day commuting but looks fun

[@JakeLeary]

Agreed, the straps are easy to swap out though

[@Sanspepins]

Bro aint no way i get three videos related to Air gear in the same week when i haven't even heard of thay show in over a decade. Some time manipulation going on. Air gear was a message from the future.

[@LiaIsTheCutestKitten]

Gotta say I wasn't sure about this initially but I was kinda sold on these only a few mins in. Look fun AF and I've never even skated. Only question now is... can I ride them in wedges tho 🤔

You got me thinking about these just for the health and exercise benefit lol.

[@sugamai]

I also used rollerblades as a kid then I picked up skating when I was 12 and still do occasionally. I got back into rollerblading again in the beginning of the year and while I can agree that it's slow in the beginning, you learn the flow and it gets easier over time and you can pick up speed imo. One thing to mention is the wheel size of your rollerblades. I'm thinking maybe you had small wheels that caused your experience to feel that way? Idk cool video tho!

[@carloramos8977]

Where can I purchase the TFL branded model? Roll on my friends!!!!

[@Blox117]

nice thanks for sharing. this would be a perfect addition with an EUC

[@esk8jaimes]

What's ironic is these particular Meepo V3/MR remote ESC's are known for being too tame for Esk8, although, in hindsight they could be perfect for E-skates!

[@Blox117]

[@esk8jaimes]

@@Blox117 Meepo V3/MR remotes have brake modes, and tamer on the takeoff compared to Hobbywing ESC. Some prefer that for short boards, rather than accidentally doing manuals at even the slowest speed modes.

Thanks for the promo code. Still waiting for them to ship because of Chinese new years. Then I need my friend to ship them to Hawaii from Vegas because they don't ship to Hawaii. Does the silicone straps make them feel too loose? If so I'll probably use some Velcro straps.

[@JakeLeary]

Ah yeah CNY will delay things. They don’t ship to Hawaii?? I thought they shipped globally. The silicon is a bit loose for me but you should def try it out and be aware of the tipping possibility

[@dontlookatme123]

I'm really curious how the wheels held up while riding. Is an errant piece of gravel going to kill the rider?

[@user-xe2oh9th7z]

After receiving the product and using it for just 15 minutes a day on the second day, the fixing strap on the front wheel side was cut. I replaced it with another strap, and to my dismay, within minutes, the new strap was also cut. Upon inspecting the strap on the opposite leg, I noticed a crack, even though it hadn't broken yet. I contacted the AIRTRICK TEAM, and their response was that the straps are prone to being cut to protect the ankle. Their initial suggestion was to purchase additional straps. However, it's important to note that nowhere on the website or in the manual is it mentioned that the straps are susceptible to frequent damage, necessitating additional purchases, as in my case. When I raised this concern with them, they agreed to send me a replacement strap but suggested that I bear the shipping cost. I am very disappointed that the straps are breaking at such a high frequency, requiring additional purchases, which is cost-prohibitive. I was also disappointed in the response from the AIRTRICK TEAM. I have included these details in my review to share this experience with others.

[@JessikahElise]

What is the durometer of the wheels? Also, how big are the wheels? And is the stopper fixed or adjustable?

[@carumbaman]

Wait a sec...Airtrick? Like the Airtecks from air Gear?!?!?!

[@MultiMaker_Studios]

23 years ago they had something like this but they were magnetically driven powered by netrium batterie, and Jet Set Radio, a pirate radio station manned by the DJ Professor K, that plays nothing but non-stop, hardcore music. Those street punks have been named 'Rudies' by the people of Tokyo-to. They roam the streets and cover the city with their own, personal graffiti, claiming that it is their way of expressing themselves to the world. However, ever since the Metropolitan Government and the financial conglomerate, the Rokkaku Group, combined their efforts to form the 21st Century Project, the streets of Tokyo-to have never been the same again. Police crackdowns on the Rudies have become more severe, and Captain Onishima is more anxious than ever to put them behind bars. The streets of Tokyo-to are ready to explode...

It does though. Anny time you spin a electric motor you are actively generating power at the leads, likely though they did not add diodes or a inversion stack to actually proper charge it.

If you are anywhere near the weight limit, they can’t do even slight hills. Only 150watts/skate. Flat ground only unless you weight 80lbs. Imo terribly underpowered. I guess that’s what you get for that size and weight but I would need a compromise there.
