iShoes, Skatemaster skateboard offer remote-controlled laziness

Those looking to head outdoors with minimal exertion now have another pair of motorized options to accommodate their lazy ways, with the recently introduced iShoes and Skatemaster skateboard each promising to propel you along at the push of a button. Only the Skatemaster is actually available to order at the moment, however, with it promising a top speed of 11 mph and a range of 6-7 miles. It'll set you back £139.99 for the small model and £144.99 for a slightly larger version. The iShoes, on the other hand, boast a slightly risky top speed of 15 mph, and should carry your 5 to 7 miles before needing a recharge. While you can't get your hands on 'em just yet, the developer is apparently "getting them ready for sale," although there's no word on what they'll cost or exactly when they'll be available.

6-7 miles would about get me to work . . .

I refuse to buy anything, or humor it, if it's name is "iSomething".

Right on the mark, you beat me to it.

[Paul @ Oct 26th 2007 3:14PM]

However, users should not that the top speed and range will diminish as your ass widens...cuz you're lazy!!

This gadget can be really worthy for disabled mascots.

[RTon20s @ Oct 29th 2007 5:41PM]

A little late. Exskate has already done it, and better.

Options all the way up to 20 mph and up to 10 mile range. (Depending on model.)

Exkate doesn't have motorized shoes...did you even read the article or just glance at the picture?

[allaina @ Oct 26th 2007 6:11PM]

but, the real question is, the people that are chasing me to beat my ass for looking like such an idiot... will they stop at 5-7 miles, or are these things dumb enough to warrant them to keep going, no matter what it takes?

[sara @ Oct 27th 2007 12:57AM]

seriously, how lazy can you get?
my gosh
