We’re not ready for Electric Shoes - RollWalk eRW3 Pro

[@quanperfect]

I don't know if ShortCircuit did that before, but playing a "wrong" sound when a host says something that is not correct is an amazing idea. I don't always look at the screen when enjoying the content so sometimes I might miss a visual correction, thanks for adding the sound!

[@NishimotoBricks]

*EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER SOUND*

[@enginerd80]

Could be followed by "actually, [how it actually is]", during which the picture would be paused.

[@Okusar]

They started doing it as part of LMG's commitment to increased scrutiny and accuracy following their recent big controversy. It's a good change. Previously, an incorrect assumption such as that likely would have gone unchecked.

[@YoutubePizzer]

it’s kinda funny too

[@altersami9660]

Yes! A lot of times I consume LMG content while doing other stuff so my eyes are not always on the screen. A footnote correction is not enough.

[@banderson1979]

Every time they do a semi dubious product like this I'm half expecting the opening sponsor they segue to, to be a life/health insurance company.

We have come full circle to where you should just buy rollerblades

[@hardgoodbye]

Damn Airgear is real now.

[@DustPotato]

I’m not the only one!!!!

[@wneufeld416]

This video needed a helmet, and camera stabilization. The only reason to film something with that much camera shake is if there is a Bigfoot in the shot. :)

[@RenegadeJr100]

Holy non-camera stabilization man - get some!

[@drvish]

Exactly! Some of the worse camera work they've done in recent times. Even the GTA5 drunk camera shake is more stable than this crap. Gonna make people puke! 🤮

[@BravoCharleses]

Maybe some electric rollerskates would help... :-p

[@demacherius1]

I love that he protected everything important. Everyone knows that the head is just for looks, nothing important in there. 😂

[@Sizukun1]

Kinda wish they'd do a video on why manufacturers could possibly be using mini or micro USB connectors for simple charging stuff on new products. Did someone buy a trillion of them and now they're simply cheaper than USBc to charge random junk?

[@zetsubou3704]

These skates look like a bunch of hobby diy stuff put together professionally. Maybe the remote pcb is only manufactured with a Micro USB port.

[@IsaacRifkin]

I feel like Linus has mentioned it before, but essentially USB-C includes some processing and a controller, which adds non-insignificant cost. Whereas I think microB is much simpler, and therefore much cheaper to use. Edit: microB super sucks though. IMO it's worth it as a customer to pay whatever that cost delta is for the more robust type C connector

[@b127_1]

​@@IsaacRifkinAs long as you don't need more than 5v, you only need two resistors to use USB c. The bigger problem is that the port itself costs 10-20 cents more.

[@Sizukun1]

@@IsaacRifkin That makes some sense, I wasn't really aware it was "significantly" more expensive. I'm aware of a slight improvement in manufacturing costing 20 cents really adds up when you make a million of the widgets, but when everything is rounded up so heavily to $xx.99 anyway, do the extra 10 cents in cost really blow away bottom lines to make an actually good product that more people will want to buy?

[@Triflixfilms]

Identical controller to my meepo longboard, it's just a stock controller that is easy for pairs to electronic escs.

[@MenkoDany]

Regular style rollerblades with 50W in each would actually be great. Would make them much more feasible in cities with a lot of vertical climbing

[@no_ideaman]

I would be extremely hard to build several different sets of muscle memory for the slightly different performance you will get at each "help" setting under different conditions like surface traction, humidity, slope angle, etc.

[@ryangross5446]

@@no_ideaman thats why i keep my pevs at max speed. if you kept them at max speed youd get used to it pretty quickly. i have an electric skateboard that pulls pretty hard and although thats much easier than rollerblades as im familiar with both, im able to full throttle and slam on the brakes no problem. id love to get my hands on a set of electrified rollerblades

[@BigFatCone]

In each what, wheel? My eskate has 3000 watts per motor.

[@Playingwith3D]

I use to roller skate when I was a kid. I am pretty sure I was going a lot faster than 30km/hour too. I'd pass cars on the streets. I always enjoyed that look of WTF from drivers when you roller skate past them. lol

[@Dornacgove]

I did about 55 kph once (years ago, when I had much lower self-preservation instinct) and it was pretty scary. Considering the amount of bruising and scraping a fall at a way lower speed caused on a different occasion, when a rock blocked my wheel and I got catapulted forward, I don't feel much attraction to powered transporters with such tiny wheels.

[@riteshpoddar4189]

I love how James did the sponsorship read before he might get injured lol

[@aimer0]

That shakycam(tm) almost made me lose dinner.

[@a11aaa11a]

Those magnet clasps are so cool, a friend's bag uses them too. They're by a company called "fidlock".

5:00 Linus Media group forgets how to stabilize a camera (or video in post) and EVERYONE is motion sick now.

[@jeffstahley2176]

I can see these being better than other forms of transportation because they can fit into a backpack. If you're someone concerned about your bike being stolen or a scooter taking up too much room, then this is the perfect solution.

[@Sagemel]

Needed to get the camera man a OneWheel or a gimble

[@jacobblotkamp2945]

I think the moonwalkers are more intuitive because they actually require you to actually walk. This is like you have an electric skateboard on each foot.

[@ronanmullarkey]

You guys! Fantastically compelling demo of why good image stabilization is a must.

[@rustler08]

I love how he says be safe, then proceeds to ignore literally the most important piece of safety equipment.

[@ssl9779]

Time to ask the CEO for better/another gimbal.

[@JimGriffOne]

I feel like we're living in the future. Then I forget I'm from the late 1900s, and I travelled in time linearly to end up right here in this moment, watching this video! The shoes seem legit. I'd probably crack my head open the first time I use them, though.

[@JeffJK000]

Imagine how fast you'll fly using these on those airport escalator/walkways.

[@Csonic6]

and this is where the Air Gear anime starts off

[@trapvandal]

First time experiencing anything fidlock is truly mind blowing.

[@JonoFunk]

The child in me is so happy, we're so close to Air Gear! 🥺

[@sadmanh0]

glad I'm not the only one who thought of that

[@JAM0LO]

Love the fact checking sound effect in the edit

[@NWinnVR]

The big motions and wide stance of the wheels makes these more like electric skis than anything.. Someday we'll have real AT's.. 🤣

[@NicollasVerneck]

i love the idea of those , I used to watch an anime called air gear where they had these motorized rollerblade and this is the closest thing to it

[@cesarlin]

Bend your knees, when you are on any PEVs, bend your knees, one it’s more stable, and you won’t go flying when you hit a bump or holes. And always lean forward when you’re accelerating and put your weight back when you’re breaking.

[@drvish]

Can you guys actually get a camera stabilisation dolly or something? The runs and gun camera wobble is ridiculous! Who passed the QC on this video?

[@TheDanil044]

So when are we getting Air Gears now ? 😂

[@riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip]

Don't you mean Air Trecks?

[@Ifslayanct]

if they went with a roller blades form instead of a roller skates form then they might have had something. It would fix the safety issues too

[@thehorsefromhorsinabout]

they look like those super cool yellow and blue fisher price roller skates that us kids had in the 90s

[@AlbertStewart]

4:55 Will someone PLEASE get the cameraman an Osmo Pocket 3?

[@ChristopherKlepel]

Great video. I'm not in the market for anything like this, but it seems to me like their biggest advantage would be the fact that, unlike a scooter or anything else, you could throw them in a backpack You should have demoed the ltt backpack with them in it. You leave your apt you go down to the street, pull them out of your backpack, zip over to your work, throw them back in your backpack, set it beside your desk. No chance of them being stolen.

[@Aliennumberb]

There are some electric scooters that fold up and you can hang them on the outside of your backpack, out under your desk, etc. I mean these are definitely smaller, but I think the lack of an immediate stop makes me more certain that theft is a better alternative to being roadkill.

[@50shadesofbeige88]

My childhood dream.. it's just missing the model rocket engines. 😂

"These are to cool for you!... loosers" 😂😂😂😂😂

And let us not forget the utility... in the Canadian winter with lots of snow.... One can still attempt to go around on a bicycle, using this will be a death wish. I do appreciate the orange vest/coat more people should be wearing that in traffic.

And the „most shaky camera“ award, goes to: LTT 😅

[@leonheart1904]

omg the time of air gear is here!!!

[@feyntmistral1110]

Yeah, the moonwalkers are still more interesting. Wonky as they are, they at least use an intuitive method of locomotion and can function in a stairs heavy environment safely.

[@ellie_cr]

If I fall on those, I will definitely need the ER 😂 They look fun though!

[@RatedOverRated]

[@izakshuvo8434]

If only they had a lock for the wheels. Rolling to the train station on these then rolling to work.

[@trymepoppo]

...Did the cameraman on the skates too? I've got motion sickness on the outdoor scene a bit...

[@R1D9M8B4]

I agree with the closing statements. My commute by foot is 37 minutes just about and I would sooner use my bike than these. I like the size of these its just not it.. lol I want a different solution.

[@rustler08]

If the terrain is suitable, check out electric longboard. I used a Boosted Board daily for four years, which cut down my walk to 25% of its original time

[@TheTastefulThickness]

Those are called fid-lock bukles. Making their appearance known in the bag world. Ported over.

Problem on some commutes would be crowded sidewalks. How many people are going to get knocked down due to not braking in time or braking too quickly and you fall forward into someone. Plus, with all slowing down and dodging normal walking people, may as well just walk, too.
