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

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:08.820
of the head why because you're on that awesome people mover conveyor belt thing

00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:13.380
that lets you walk like freaking The Flash but someone on there standing

00:00:11.099 --> 00:00:16.800
still not walking don't you understand this is your chance

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

00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:26.460
other people for that you can wear these the shift moonwalkers basically shoes

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:30.420
that let you walk really fast sounds stupid or amazing I'm guessing it's

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

00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:37.399
Linus was a Transformer

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:03.180 --> 00:01:10.080
out and hopefully I don't die okay first things first

00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:13.500
open them up oh my God is that just glue these are very engineering samply you

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

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

00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:28.080
goes it actually spans the whole the whole thing so that's that's pretty good

00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:33.240
it really looks like this will fit I want to say up to like

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

00:01:35.579 --> 00:01:43.799
the exact envelope of my my foot oh my gosh these are chunky okay

00:01:41.820 --> 00:01:47.520
I feel pretty secure in that and now that my foot's on the ground I

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

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

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

00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:05.520
this weatherproof little door a USBC charging port and you've got this on the

00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:07.860
back of both shoes shoes what are they

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:11.400
I'm wearing shoes I'm definitely not wearing two pairs of shoes oh you can

00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:15.840
see that it articulates here so that's gonna help you walk normally oh check

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:20.459
that out so you don't actually have to adjust the velcro every time there's

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.940
also this quick release uh thing kind of like when you're wearing skis there's

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:29.040
also a magnet involved in here kind of confusing so you can just pull that

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:57.959
of take a knee click okay there's actually haptic

00:02:55.860 --> 00:03:02.700
feedback happening right now it's pulsing for some reason I'm just gonna

00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:04.860
walk towards these stairs I don't think

00:03:02.700 --> 00:03:09.120
these are functioning right now they're not rolling no it still appears

00:03:07.260 --> 00:03:12.420
to be locked so what's that other gesture is something like that oh now

00:03:11.099 --> 00:03:15.319
it's green oh they're going

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.480
okay oh this is so awkward it's on it's

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

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

00:03:30.420 --> 00:03:35.519
see I feel like they're actually going now the sensation of speed isn't there

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

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:42.420
people movers oh they're screaming they

00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:46.200
are screaming now whoa these things are straight up moving me

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:50.760
there's definitely a lag effect like this is all me

00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:54.319
and then they ramp up you're pretty mobile still

00:03:54.659 --> 00:03:58.040
what if I actually jog

00:03:58.739 --> 00:04:03.620
I don't think they're meant for this this is pretty hard

00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:11.340
you gotta go slow to go fast you're tired of walking sit in a chair

00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:15.120

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

00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:40.520
heel to put these into locked wheel stair mode and

00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.520
try not to die

00:04:40.979 --> 00:04:46.919
so did I do it I sure hope so

00:04:44.220 --> 00:04:50.840
oh yeah you are not very agile with these on

00:04:47.940 --> 00:04:50.840
and they're loud

00:04:53.940 --> 00:04:56.780
what's up losers

00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:04.940
oh you fly they take a bit to get going

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

00:05:13.020 --> 00:05:17.600
too small you need like a real Runway

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.620
dude this is the quietest they get

00:05:22.139 --> 00:05:25.280
let these babies fly

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.699
oh my God

00:05:31.020 --> 00:05:40.039
they stop in three and a half feet apparently

00:05:35.699 --> 00:05:40.039
on a dry surface let's see

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

00:05:45.900 --> 00:05:52.340
it ends oh God they're not even on stair mode

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:07.220
who's had sex before

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:14.460
when they kick into their highest gear they're fully carrying you and you can

00:06:13.380 --> 00:06:19.860
actually start walking more lackadaisically while just ripping you

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:21.060
work at a mall or you're at CES like a

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

00:06:23.940 --> 00:06:29.000
these would have been great actually now watch this downhill

00:06:29.220 --> 00:06:33.860
they support up to 10 degrees of slope

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:39.900
which doesn't sound like very much but I felt really supportive because it's like

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:47.280
a regenerative braking on an electric car here comes the slope

00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:49.800
no problem very smooth

00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:53.220
yeah I got a quick turn here just zip over this way

00:06:51.419 --> 00:06:57.440
it's weird they're like between shoes and rollerblades I'm gonna jump off this

00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:05.400
they did not like that the light's still green but they're not rolling something

00:07:02.940 --> 00:07:09.080
is wrong oh they're blinking red

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:19.139
are they dying these are quite fast I have so many thoughts number one

00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:21.180
will you wear these to do like a half

00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:24.060
hour hour walk to work how much do you value your time instead of walking your

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

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

00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:37.740
they're too clunky and heavy aside from looking stupid

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:41.280
you look stupid you want your colleagues to respect you uh and they're also just

00:07:39.900 --> 00:07:44.819
very loud on the floor they're louder than the most obnoxious high heel of

00:07:43.380 --> 00:07:48.960
shoes for example you would probably annoy other people in the Subway at in

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

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

00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:03.479
get around I'm sweating my feet are sweating they're very heavy to pick up

00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:07.440
your gate like I feel like your feet would get stronger just to pick these

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

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.759
like a roller skate because they start to carry you you get momentum and

00:08:12.539 --> 00:08:18.900
they're actually driving you forward they gave me a tendency as someone who

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

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

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

00:08:30.900 --> 00:08:35.820
course of the usage as you speed up you are no longer walking after you're

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:39.360
starting to skate a bit you feel that the most when you're doing turns because

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

00:08:41.099 --> 00:08:46.380
around right away like you can if you're walking because you are moving so much

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

00:08:49.140 --> 00:08:55.140
too loud to use indoors or in an office they have like this loud Whistling noise

00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:58.920
this is a product that I wish came with an instruction manual

00:08:57.300 --> 00:09:01.920
uh because I don't know what the different lights mean you know what some

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

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

00:09:10.380 --> 00:09:18.360
something that would be helpful the range is seven miles or again like 11k

00:09:16.019 --> 00:09:22.260
that doesn't seem like that much range honestly

00:09:19.560 --> 00:09:27.240
I would probably only get these if my walk to work is

00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:28.380
5K or more I don't know I feel like I

00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:32.519
want a little more range but then again that means bigger batteries and that

00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:35.880
means heavier so there's definitely some kind of calculus they have to do there

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

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

00:09:42.839 --> 00:09:48.180
people than maybe electric unicycles

00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:51.000
they're way more low profile than that and they fit into existing

00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:54.540
infrastructure a little bit better than that although if I was on a sidewalk

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

00:09:58.920 --> 00:10:03.720
enough that when you inevitably walk up to somebody who's going slowly I don't

00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:08.459
think you're on risk of running them over but you would be annoying everybody

00:10:05.940 --> 00:10:12.120
and scaring people when they hear you coming that would push me into like the

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

00:10:13.560 --> 00:10:19.500
so there's probably an ideal commute for these that isn't most people's commute

00:10:18.060 --> 00:10:25.860
the other thing that's cool about them is that you can in theory switch modes

00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:28.740
in terms of walking to escalator to

00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:33.660
Subway to walking again to getting into an Uber honestly yeah they're fourteen

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:38.040
hundred dollars that is crazy really crazy I could see like for the

00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:44.040
experiment that these things are maybe you like risk it for 200 300 but 1400 is

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

00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:52.380
watts of power by a USB type-c and they

00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:55.440
are meant to last an hour and a half so

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

00:10:57.779 --> 00:11:03.120
the world but if these get better I mean I could see them getting normalized for

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

00:11:07.140 --> 00:11:13.560
I'm an airport I want my employees at the airport to work more efficiently and

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:16.680
instead of just lollygagging down the tarmac I give them these because not

00:11:15.540 --> 00:11:21.420
everyone gets to ride in those cute little trucks maybe I do that and maybe

00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:24.540
they proliferate in industry first and then consumers later I don't know

00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:28.620
they're very cool and I respect the company for going for it and trying to

00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:32.040
bestow upon the world this Innovation I think the social factor is the biggest

00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:35.279
impedance to them they're just they're kind of weird they're very eyebrow

00:11:33.300 --> 00:11:39.420
raising but who knows what happens in 10 years in 10 years Lions kids could be

00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:42.540
hosting the show who knows so subscribe for that and thanks for watching short

00:11:40.800 --> 00:11:49.220
circuit if you like this video maybe you watch our coverage of some e-bikes or

00:11:45.300 --> 00:11:49.220
other things that are more normal
