Work for Ford or GM? What a great idea. You vicious people are so self absorbed that you don't see the potential for this? OMG! Get me a promo pair so I can sell the car and tell the oil and insurance companies to take a hike. Get them to me now so that they don't become legislated into the same "privilege" that cars,and phones remain, generating the extra expenses incurred by being a "privilege" not a "human right". Mobility and communication, yep, the powers that be still consider them both "privileges"...ain't that somethin'?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fran]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2007 8:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nutty 'iShoes' Electric Roller Skates]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</guid><description><![CDATA[L LIKE PIE!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big E]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2007 9:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nutty 'iShoes' Electric Roller Skates]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't know if they could ever really be a success of any kind.  16lbs.  That's 8 lbs per foot, kind of heavy and probably due to the battery and motor being so large for the range.  Who would strap an 8lb bowling ball to each foot, even to go 100 miles?  It would not be very comfortable.  Lifting each foot could cause problems as well.  As far as "car replacement ideas", yes we need a replacement, but for most urbun trips you need 30 miles of range, one passenger with luggage (going to work alone), and some kind of protection from the elements, especially in Winter.  Cars are inefficient, but safe compared to much more efficient forms of transportation.  Cars weigh a lot for comfort and safety.  Bikes are much more efficient, but not safe and you can't ride in the winter on bikes comfortably or in the rain safely.  What is needed is an efficient one person car, perhaps a car that can expand. Some pod car concepts come close to the idea "car replacment" or at least a more efficient car.  Think about it your moving 2000 lbs or more of steel to move a 200 lb body.  That's not very efficient in energy usage.  I could plow a field and produce a years worth of food for my family in the miles I drive to work and back each day.  So I'm about 300 times less efficient energy wise just by driving to work that I'd need to be just to drive to work and back. (20 miles of driving to work and back).  We waste way to much energy on transportation in this country, but it's often for safety and comfort reasons.  (Peak oil is arriving, what's the answer?)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2007 9:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nutty 'iShoes' Electric Roller Skates]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</guid><description><![CDATA[Do they come with a charger?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tammy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2007 9:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nutty 'iShoes' Electric Roller Skates]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</guid><description><![CDATA[Greg: I really don't think you would use them like regular skates, I would assume they would always be in contact with the ground or why would they have motors?

I think these would be cool. I am disabled and do not have the ability to "skate" for more then a few minutes... but if I didn't need to propel myself forward, I could throw these bad boys on and go around the park a few times xoxoxo yeah for electric skates, but since everone is going green, they may want to make them solar powered  lol]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lizzie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2007 11:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nutty 'iShoes' Electric Roller Skates]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</guid><description><![CDATA[breaking system???!!!is that for when you fall and brake your neck?? where do they get these writers??????]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[stew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2007 11:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nutty 'iShoes' Electric Roller Skates]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/29/nutty-ishoes-electric-roller-skates/</guid><description><![CDATA[Remember, George Plimton said Men will come and go, but rollerskates will rink on forever.
