Chad discovers Razor's brand new Rocket Turbo Jetts

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 CES.) You'll have to watch this week's show as Chad talks to the folks at Razor about these electric-powered heel wheels. (I guess they're really not skates because they just power your heel.) Yep, an 80-watt, geared-drive motor provides a one-of-a-kind boost to any pair of sneakers. There's no remote. 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. And yes, battery charger is included. 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.
