Coming soon from Razor -- Powered Heel Wheels!
February 3, 2018 
The company says “Hit new heights of fun with the all-new Turbo Jetts electric motorized heel wheels!” (Or you may also hit the floor as we saw one reporter do a bunch of times trying out them out at the CES.) The big intro is at Toy Fair 2018 later this month. Heel wheels aren't skates because they just power your heel with two real wheels. An unpowered version has been around for a while, but the Turbo Jetts add an 80-watt, geared-drive motor to provide a one-of-a-kind boost to any pair of sneakers. There's no remote and only one skate is powered. The Turbo Jetts use an integrated, pressure-sensitive, power control system to help you ride comfortably at speeds up to 10 mph (16 km/h) for up to 30 minutes of continuous use. Simply step into the heavy-duty polymer quick click frame and tighten the hook-and-loop strap for a secure fit. They're designed for U.S. sneaker size “youth 12 to adult 12” (European youth 42 through adult 45). The battery is a 12V lithium-ion pack, with quick-change, I believe they said 30 minutes for a recharge. And yes, battery charger is included. But wait, there's more. You can addiing 'sparking fire effects' as you skate if you want. (See the company video, link below.) Age: 9+ Max Rider Weight: 176 lb (80 kg). U.S. MSRP: $129.99. They'll be available February/March 2018 at ToyRUs first, then in wider distribution.
