Talk about reinventing the wheel! These in-line skates ship with their own little motor attached to the back, the brainchild of Californian thrillseeker Tim Glendale. We're not sure if it's even legal to
whisk along East Coast Park on these, since anything with a petrol engine capable of over 25kmh speeds needs to be registered with the Land Transport Authority. Meanwhile, the instructions advise: "To brake, release handheld throttle." Best of luck.
