Chariot Skates are unique devices that cross the boundaries between skating and cycling.
Large wheels allow you to gain and maintain momentum with less effort, achieve greater stability and skate over rougher terrain.

Looks like you’d really gub your knees if you fell over in them though, proper dislocation material

Reminds me of the wheeler monkeys from The Return to Oz.

These look like great fun. Because the wheels are not under your feet, it seems that if you did go down, you wouldn’t go down quite so hard. I wonder how easy it is to learn how to use them if you already a feel for roller blades?

I like the idea a lot. Roller skates are not that stable, with more stability they are safer, therefore, much better.
Wonder if the additional wheel can be made a little bit smaller? The idea of the extra wheel to stabilize it would stay, but it would be smaller…..
Hope they come soon to the stores.

There are designers out there with too much time on their hands.

OMG hello people can’t you see the big brake on the back!
It looks impressive it seems with the large wheels you need to put less effort into moving
I wouldn’t mind having a go

I’d try them. They would make a cool contribution to certain stage costumes that is for sure.

Those who are downing this probably only leave their computer chair long enough to make a trip to the kitchen on the way to the couch.

I’ve checked out the video and it does seem to have remarkable performance. Hurrah! Hope to see them soon.

They look really silly. It looks like your a wheelchair human or something.

I want a pair! My only concern is if you fall on your side, unless there was an emergency system where the wheel, say, moves away or detaches if you turn your foot really hard, I would imagine quite a lot of people are going to be breaking their ankles.
