Cruise around town in the motorized and futuristic iShoes

Driving can be such a pain, that's why I never drive. But then again, I hate public transport and walking as well. So I'm quite stranded most of the time unless I can manage to get a ride with a friend. Ilya Kaganovich with the help of his brother, Boris Kaganovich, an aerospace engineering student have come up with a good alternative for this problem. They have invented motorized shoes to help you get to places. This makes me feel like I'm a part of 'Back to The Future' series. All you have to do is strap on the “iShoes” and with the assistance of handheld controls you can travel at speeds up to 13.5mph. Sounds quite simple.

These shoes have rechargeable Lithium batteries that help run the powerful 500 watt motor. It's a better version of the roller-skates, I guess. You can buy the iShoes for $250 here.
