1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,339
you're at the airport and you get the sudden urge to punch someone in the back

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,820
of the head why because you're on that awesome people mover conveyor belt thing

3
00:00:07,259 --> 00:00:13,380
that lets you walk like freaking The Flash but someone on there standing

4
00:00:11,099 --> 00:00:16,800
still not walking don't you understand this is your chance

5
00:00:14,940 --> 00:00:20,520
to have super powers well now you don't need to go to the airport or be around

6
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:26,460
other people for that you can wear these the shift moonwalkers basically shoes

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:30,420
that let you walk really fast sounds stupid or amazing I'm guessing it's

8
00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:37,399
gonna be a bit of both first of all these are heavy they're over four pounds each they basically just look like if

9
00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:37,399
Linus was a Transformer

10
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:44,820
this is his final form we got a bunch of Wheels here in weird shapes and I'm

11
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:48,899
supposed to be able to put these on and just walk like normal and they'll speed

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:55,079
me up up to seven miles per hour which is about 11.265 kilometers an hour so if

13
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:58,620
you want to go slower you walk slow more slowly if you want to go faster you walk

14
00:00:56,579 --> 00:01:01,559
more fastly it's just as easy as that apparently you can even go up and down

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,400
stairs if you do a little trick with the adjuster control so we're gonna try it

16
00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:10,080
out and hopefully I don't die okay first things first

17
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:13,500
open them up oh my God is that just glue these are very engineering samply you

18
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:17,100
can see there's a lot of wear marks on them already I just want to get it on

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:23,820
I'm going to assess the quality of the velcro that's Velcro and there's a lot of it it

20
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:28,080
goes it actually spans the whole the whole thing so that's that's pretty good

21
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:33,240
it really looks like this will fit I want to say up to like

22
00:01:30,299 --> 00:01:37,799
very large sizes but maybe not too small yeah I'm like a 10. that's pretty much

23
00:01:35,579 --> 00:01:43,799
the exact envelope of my my foot oh my gosh these are chunky okay

24
00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:47,520
I feel pretty secure in that and now that my foot's on the ground I

25
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,240
actually can't roll it back and forth it doesn't it doesn't want are you down

26
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:54,119
there yeah it doesn't really want to I'm like forcing the servos if I do that

27
00:01:52,740 --> 00:02:00,060
because they're turned off I actually need to turn them on on the back you can see there's a power button and behind

28
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:05,520
this weatherproof little door a USBC charging port and you've got this on the

29
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,860
back of both shoes shoes what are they

30
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,400
I'm wearing shoes I'm definitely not wearing two pairs of shoes oh you can

31
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:15,840
see that it articulates here so that's gonna help you walk normally oh check

32
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,459
that out so you don't actually have to adjust the velcro every time there's

33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,940
also this quick release uh thing kind of like when you're wearing skis there's

34
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:29,040
also a magnet involved in here kind of confusing so you can just pull that

35
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:33,000
that when you oh and it's supposed to just click right back in that's pretty

36
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:36,120
smart I feel like this is a bad way to put these on because my foot has

37
00:02:34,379 --> 00:02:40,080
probably shifted in a weird way here the first thing I'm noticing which I love is

38
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,980
that these have made me at least an inch taller uh now I don't know if I was

39
00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:49,560
supposed to turn them on before or now but it's kind of awkward oh hold on look

40
00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:52,819
at that I can lift this this heel so it's actually not that awkward to kind

41
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,959
of take a knee click okay there's actually haptic

42
00:02:55,860 --> 00:03:02,700
feedback happening right now it's pulsing for some reason I'm just gonna

43
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:04,860
walk towards these stairs I don't think

44
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:09,120
these are functioning right now they're not rolling no it still appears

45
00:03:07,260 --> 00:03:12,420
to be locked so what's that other gesture is something like that oh now

46
00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:15,319
it's green oh they're going

47
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,480
okay oh this is so awkward it's on it's

48
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:27,300
kind of on and off get the hang of this now do I look as stupid as they feel they

49
00:03:24,540 --> 00:03:31,500
look pretty it looks pretty pretty silly but you can't keep up I'm flying oh I

50
00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:35,519
see I feel like they're actually going now the sensation of speed isn't there

51
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,200
which is a shame because I like the sensation of speed I had on one of those

52
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,420
people movers oh they're screaming they

53
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,200
are screaming now whoa these things are straight up moving me

54
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,760
there's definitely a lag effect like this is all me

55
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:54,319
and then they ramp up you're pretty mobile still

56
00:03:54,659 --> 00:03:58,040
what if I actually jog

57
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:03,620
I don't think they're meant for this this is pretty hard

58
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,340
you gotta go slow to go fast you're tired of walking sit in a chair

59
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,120

64
00:04:29,699 --> 00:04:35,340
in the description and check out secret lab today all right so I'm gonna lift my

65
00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:40,520
heel to put these into locked wheel stair mode and

66
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,520
try not to die

67
00:04:40,979 --> 00:04:46,919
so did I do it I sure hope so

68
00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:50,840
oh yeah you are not very agile with these on

69
00:04:47,940 --> 00:04:50,840
and they're loud

70
00:04:53,940 --> 00:04:56,780
what's up losers

71
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:04,940
oh you fly they take a bit to get going

72
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:17,600
I don't think I can even really get going in this office setting is too it's

73
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:17,600
too small you need like a real Runway

74
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,620
dude this is the quietest they get

75
00:05:22,139 --> 00:05:25,280
let these babies fly

76
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,699
oh my God

77
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:40,039
they stop in three and a half feet apparently

78
00:05:35,699 --> 00:05:40,039
on a dry surface let's see

79
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:48,320
my toe is under the counter right now this is my demise right here this is how

80
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:52,340
it ends oh God they're not even on stair mode

81
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,220
who's had sex before

82
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,460
when they kick into their highest gear they're fully carrying you and you can

83
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:19,860
actually start walking more lackadaisically while just ripping you

84
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,060
work at a mall or you're at CES like a

85
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:26,039
giant trade show where you're just gonna have to be running back and forth all day and you're gonna get 20 000 steps in

86
00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:29,000
these would have been great actually now watch this downhill

87
00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:33,860
they support up to 10 degrees of slope

88
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,900
which doesn't sound like very much but I felt really supportive because it's like

89
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:47,280
a regenerative braking on an electric car here comes the slope

90
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:49,800
no problem very smooth

91
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:53,220
yeah I got a quick turn here just zip over this way

92
00:06:51,419 --> 00:06:57,440
it's weird they're like between shoes and rollerblades I'm gonna jump off this

93
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:05,400
they did not like that the light's still green but they're not rolling something

94
00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:09,080
is wrong oh they're blinking red

95
00:07:10,139 --> 00:07:19,139
are they dying these are quite fast I have so many thoughts number one

96
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:21,180
will you wear these to do like a half

97
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:24,060
hour hour walk to work how much do you value your time instead of walking your

98
00:07:22,919 --> 00:07:27,240
dog for an hour you're walking dog for 45 minutes dog goes farther here's what

99
00:07:25,979 --> 00:07:33,720
you're not gonna do though you're not gonna walk to the office and continue wearing them in the office at all like

100
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:37,740
they're too clunky and heavy aside from looking stupid

101
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,280
you look stupid you want your colleagues to respect you uh and they're also just

102
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:44,819
very loud on the floor they're louder than the most obnoxious high heel of

103
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:48,960
shoes for example you would probably annoy other people in the Subway at in

104
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:53,940
the tube um on the stairs you're just like too slow not as annoying as someone carrying

105
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:59,759
a bicycle but actually probably even more annoying because you just look like an asshat but I will say that you can

106
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:03,479
get around I'm sweating my feet are sweating they're very heavy to pick up

107
00:08:01,740 --> 00:08:07,440
your gate like I feel like your feet would get stronger just to pick these

108
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:10,560
things up every step I think that's part of the reason I ended up being almost

109
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,759
like a roller skate because they start to carry you you get momentum and

110
00:08:12,539 --> 00:08:18,900
they're actually driving you forward they gave me a tendency as someone who

111
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:22,740
used to rollerblade as a kid I ski now I've played hockey a lot of skate and

112
00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:27,479
skate-like activities my tendency was to start skating I don't know if other people who can't skate or don't skate

113
00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:32,880
would have that tendency I'm not saying it's a bad thing but it's just weird because your gate changes over the

114
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:35,820
course of the usage as you speed up you are no longer walking after you're

115
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,360
starting to skate a bit you feel that the most when you're doing turns because

116
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:42,839
you do get a thing where you can't just stop at a dime and just go what and turn

117
00:08:41,099 --> 00:08:46,380
around right away like you can if you're walking because you are moving so much

118
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:50,940
faster and when you're turning like that you tend to turn like your own skin they're pretty loud they're definitely

119
00:08:49,140 --> 00:08:55,140
too loud to use indoors or in an office they have like this loud Whistling noise

120
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:58,920
this is a product that I wish came with an instruction manual

121
00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:01,920
uh because I don't know what the different lights mean you know what some

122
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:07,680
audio feedback would be nice when I'm turning them on and stuff I can't necessarily see the lights it'd be nice

123
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:12,779
if it just said powered on or when I switch modes if it said stair mode or

124
00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:18,360
something that would be helpful the range is seven miles or again like 11k

125
00:09:16,019 --> 00:09:22,260
that doesn't seem like that much range honestly

126
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:27,240
I would probably only get these if my walk to work is

127
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,380
5K or more I don't know I feel like I

128
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,519
want a little more range but then again that means bigger batteries and that

129
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:35,880
means heavier so there's definitely some kind of calculus they have to do there

130
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:40,260
to find the like sweet spot do I want these to be a thing in a perfect world

131
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:46,080
maybe not but in the world we live in I think I prefer a city dominated by these

132
00:09:42,839 --> 00:09:48,180
people than maybe electric unicycles

133
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,000
they're way more low profile than that and they fit into existing

134
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:54,540
infrastructure a little bit better than that although if I was on a sidewalk

135
00:09:53,220 --> 00:10:01,080
with these I don't think I would be comfortable they they do ramp down in speed quickly

136
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,720
enough that when you inevitably walk up to somebody who's going slowly I don't

137
00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:08,459
think you're on risk of running them over but you would be annoying everybody

138
00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:12,120
and scaring people when they hear you coming that would push me into like the

139
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:15,839
bike lane or the curb where I'm way too slow for everything that's in that lane

140
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:19,500
so there's probably an ideal commute for these that isn't most people's commute

141
00:10:18,060 --> 00:10:25,860
the other thing that's cool about them is that you can in theory switch modes

142
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:28,740
in terms of walking to escalator to

143
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:33,660
Subway to walking again to getting into an Uber honestly yeah they're fourteen

144
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:38,040
hundred dollars that is crazy really crazy I could see like for the

145
00:10:35,820 --> 00:10:44,040
experiment that these things are maybe you like risk it for 200 300 but 1400 is

146
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:49,620
like you're really betting the farm when things I don't know they accept up to 65

147
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:52,380
watts of power by a USB type-c and they

148
00:10:49,620 --> 00:10:55,440
are meant to last an hour and a half so

149
00:10:53,459 --> 00:11:00,180
I think there's a perfect customer for these I think it's very few people in

150
00:10:57,779 --> 00:11:03,120
the world but if these get better I mean I could see them getting normalized for

151
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:09,660
certain occupations like if you're gonna make more money because you have these then get them maybe if I'm an airline

152
00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:13,560
I'm an airport I want my employees at the airport to work more efficiently and

153
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,680
instead of just lollygagging down the tarmac I give them these because not

154
00:11:15,540 --> 00:11:21,420
everyone gets to ride in those cute little trucks maybe I do that and maybe

155
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,540
they proliferate in industry first and then consumers later I don't know

156
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,620
they're very cool and I respect the company for going for it and trying to

157
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:32,040
bestow upon the world this Innovation I think the social factor is the biggest
