Ever think about how walking is cool but it takes soooo long to get anywhere? Shift is here with their new Moonwalker... shoes? Well, I guess it's kind of an EV? I don't know. Anyways, we got James to strap them to his feet and risk his life to see if these could be the next Segway.

Imagine how fast you'll fly using these on those airport escalator/walkways.
You'll probably enter the speed force 😂
youll hafta get cycling gear to handle the wind rushing past you
You’ll definitely feel a tailwind lmao
Very fastly
Travelator😭
It makes you look like a video game character walking when the speed is slightly higher than the animation it goes with so they slide at the same time
Beat me to it! I was searching to see if someone, anyone else saw that too and am delighted that I was not! :D
I truly hope you (and everyone else who who took the time to read this) have a great rest of your weekend and an awesome week to come!
Exactly ha ha ha
Or like Frodo is running into mount Doom in Return of the King.
So they're the real-life "faster than your walking speed but slower than your running speed"
I was just about to comment that and your comment showed up right at the bottom of my screen lmao damn it
Back in the 90s, I asked my parents if I could cut holes in the soles of my shoes to put wheels in them. They said no, of course. A few years later, shoes started coming out with wheels in them and they sold like hotcakes.
I like to occasionally remind them that we couldve been millionaires lol
that's sweet, i did it in the early 80's as a school design project...... still got em
Heelies! I wanted a pair so bad when I was a kid but my dad always said no
@@Votterbin my shin muscles was not strong enough to keep my toes off the ground to use heelies.
I was in a very famous TV show..
@@davidmcdavidson But did you get the $$$?
Jake's and Riley's reactions are precisely what I expected from them.
He's opinion is just futile.
Jake: what the hell is wrong with you…
Riley: wow that guy is cool! coolest guy in tech!
@@omidel. What are you even trying to say?
THE COOLEST GUY IN TECH
@@SneedsterSpeedster saying that those thing are better than Electric unicycle is incredible silly
Honestly I just want Linus to use them for a week for a video.
Sandals in sandals!
its a win win. linus will be taller with these on
@@dolan-duk Sandals with wheels! SPEEDY!
@@dolan-duk with socks!
Honestly, Linus seems like the target audience for this, he already wears sandals anyway and it would make him taller.
If they could last all day I could see some companies picking them up, especially for warehouse workers and such. But the 6-7 miles of range is very limiting for most of these use-cases. Make them smaller and sleeker...and throw a big swap capable battery in a backpack and you might have a winner.
That is where you need a battery backpack charging them on the go.
Imagine just using wheels and powering them with your legs 🤯
@@Rokomarn You joke but you're onto something in terms of just using your legs, I feel like there are motors where the more energy you put into them the better they perform, like those cars we had as kids you had to rev up a few times to actually get them going at any decent speed, but they took no electricity other than what we generated with the wheel spinning, make the entire shoe out of something like this and remove battery
6-7 miles is pretty far, more than most people walk in a day.
@@NachozMan I bet you could even put those wheels inline and just kind of skate along
For workers in an airport, warehouses or just multi-complex buildings (like a big hospital as some form of "delivery person"), I can actually see those things making sense. I know companies that legitimately just have bicycles for workers to get from point A to point B, and when you factor in things like stairs, elevators or just long office buildings those things may actually be useful.
I think in most those cases work safety and insurance wouldn't allow the use of them
@@Patrick.Howie. Yea but with a company that is already using bicycles to get people around there might actually be safer because you don't have a large metal frame to crash into people with. Just food for thought
I say build it right into the shoe with steel toe rating
Can't really see hospitals figuring out a lane for these. Also, the conventional tech of delivering things quickly from one location to another within a hospital is a pneumatic tube system.
I mean, yeah It's possible, in a mall next to where I live the workers use rollers to move around so it could be a thing
Linus as a transformer line cracked me up.
Top notch joke in LTT history
"If Linus were a transformer...this is his final form." Dude, I so dead LOL.
That price man, god DAMN. I thought they were gonna be around $250, maybe even $350, but $1400?
Insanity.
😮 they’re 1400 dollars!!! 😦 I would have guessed 249.99 max
Meh. Early adopter tax
@@United_Kangaroo1992 except they're not really doing anything very revolutionary. Could build your own (minus the software) for about 300 bucks.
@@colinmetzger6755 lol please go ahead and build it
I guessed maybe 600, being a new and fairly experimental tech, would rather buy a nice quality scooter or mono-wheel at the asking price
Seems like roller blades with more work
Seems like roller blades with extra steps
Yep. That's a very on the nose assessment.
Less work*
@@Mixa_Lv eeey
Do motorized roller bladed exist?
"Walk for 45 minutes, dog go farther" is a quote for the ages.
The “tired of walking? Sit in a chair” bit made me exhale pretty aggressively
It wasn't the best Segway, was it? LOL.
@@jeremyandrews3292 segue * :)
@@jeremyandrews3292 Segway is the company, segue is the word the company name is based on. Segue = a smooth transition from one thing to another.
"If Linus was a transformer, this is his final form"
Couldn't say it better.
When James talked about using those in CES or a giant mall, I remembered that people use rollerblades in some huge supermarkets and they are skilled as heck. It's so much better, although there's a bit of learn curve
I can only imagine other people in the business park looking outside and thinking "Yep those LMG guys are doing weird stuff again."
For a second I thought these would be skates that you can add to any pair of shoes, but this is way more fun.
I think I'd prefer that honestly
@@hebbocake Yeah but it could be way smaller if it was just wheels you strap to your shoes
@@ArrowleafInc I'm sure it has, just not something I've come across.
I had those when I was a kid.
You mean like flaneurz?
Some supermarkets already have part of their staff moving around on roller skates, a lot of warehouses are so big employees drive around on bikes. I dont know if the moonwalkers would be a good replacement, but those would probably be the environments where they shine through the most.
yes! And those people are MONSTERS on roller skates. I've seen some do tricks and their precision is amazing. That's what everyday riding do to you, I guess
“If Linus were a transformer, his final form” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
ive seen several videos of these, they are a fantastic concept. i hope they do make it at least as mainstream as something like rollerblades. extremely cool
I can imagine warehouse workers using these, especially if they need to move across the entire warehouse. But yeah, gonna be a tough sell for $1400
I can imagine those workers immediately suing the company for implementing something like this. Think about what OSHA would think
Watching James walk with these is like watching a video game character who's walking animation doesn't match their walking speed
I kept yelling at the screen, "No, Just glide like your cross country skiing or skating!" And then thinking, 'I would be so graceful...'
"Linus as a Transformer"
"His final form"
😂
Amazon warehouse workers about to be outfitted to the max.
In reality, I would have loved these in the data center world. Long hallways and tons of walking everyday because I was part of the facility engineer team. This would have saved tons of time
nah these would lead to a lot of joint issues in the legs. not to mention malfunctions leading to injury. 4lbs on the foot is the equiv of 20lbs on the knee. there's a reason warehouse workers dont wear skates.
I'm curious if the additional speed actually makes up for the additional weight. Like if you walk a few miles with these, will you be more or less tired than you would be without them?
The most fun LMG video in a while, you walking by at full speed was hilarious! I'm glad you didn't eat it on the stairs too!
"-If Linus was a Transformer" 🤣 The damn socks and sandals 🤣
Exactly what I'm looking for. A way to make walking less convenient and more injury prone.
As a 5' 5" person, I'm intrigued, not 1400 USD intrigued but, I'm intrigued. I no-leash walk my pups around my neighborhood and by the beach front, since it's already summer on the coast of Mississippi. Took the first swim in my pool with my dogs, learned the lab mix can't swim. Foxhound mix was a natural swimmer.
It's one of those products that would only really work well on a convention floor or in an airport as long as there are dedicated lanes for it. You go faster than other people so you can't mix with normal foot traffic, but they're too slow for any real distances.
they only go as fast as the person walks, just walk that much more slower to match paces, so it would be easy to mix with normal foot traffic
This is super useful for events like CES or specialized scenarios I think there was a space for such a device especially for people who work in a airport
Finally the product that brings my childhood dream closer to reality:
*What if I could run 45 mph on the highway*
Well, you can cycle insanely fast
these are the shoes the imagine guy running beside the car as a child was wearing.
We had something similar when I was a kid. They had four wheels and weren't powered. But they were lighter and more reliable.
Roller skates. Models that go overtop of your shoes also exist.
I do really like the idea, but They need to be smaller and less... bulky I hope something like this can become more viable in future but right now its just Toooo... silly looking.
This
Just buy rollerblades
Like
Strap on roller skates?
Unironically, heelys would be a good answer.
@@coneris Yeah, at the very least that's a more reasonable thing to compare them to than roller blades
my big question with these is: if it more exhausting then regualar walking how faster are you actually compared to a similarly exhausting fast walk?

@@nikkothegoblin chuck testa.
The whistling is actually the wind going past your ears because so are moving so damn fast! XD
"If Linus was a transormer." is the best line ever written or spoken in the history of ShortCircuit ... bravo ... bravo.
I could see these being really useful in like a warehouse setting where you either walk everywhere or need to constantly move back and forth carrying objects... the lest time spent walking, the less time you spend carrying, making everything easier.
You’re tired of walking? Sit on a chair. James, you’ve killed me. 😂
I genuinely believe a refined version of this technology could seriously catch on and become a normal thing. Especially in cities
Dude moves around like a NPC with those things.
As someone who just put their dog down a couple hours ago, I greatly appreciate the giggles. Thank you.
You can just travel in the metaverse now, that way you can just live in a pod.
I want a video with Linus just waving them on a full day.
With socks.
the tripups in the delivery of this intro was honestly hysterical, love this channel/techlinked's recent content a lot
That magnet clip reminds me of my apnea device. There's a "hook" that uses the magnet as way to make it bit more stable, but easy to hook off.
Finally, a worthy successor to Moon Shoes.
kinda cool to finally see some electric vehicle(if you can even call it that) using usb c cus i think usb c has potential for something like this especially the 240w version. 🙂
Some E bikes too
@@Larsoff you mean some ebikes use usb c or that you wish some ebikes used usb c?
Oh and also i think j1772 could also be used for ebikes and i think it might actually be very practical. 🙂
Anything with a small enough battery to be effectively charged with USB has no good real world usage. There's a reason they aren't used.
@@gar_ee8884 are you sure? 240w might not sound like alot but That's like More than 3kwh of charge per day if you charge ar home and work. I think that's plenty if go under 50km/h and that's normal city driving in EU.
Linus would love those, double sandals!
Was laughing throughout the first half but then became more and more impressed
It's actually quite interesting, if they perfected it little more, less loud, and more optimised on software side, I can see myself but it under 300 dollars, well, not gonna use it every chance I got but it could be fairly useful at certain scenarios
I wonder how well they work on stairs
1:15 "i just want to get it on"
Me too James, me too.
That Linus joke at the start was superb!
first
At 4:59 I literally spewed mountain dew all over my monitor. Also as a wheelchair user who can't walk this product seems like it would help me a lot. Thanks for the review ima go buy some
As an IT worker in a decent size office, I would love these. Not the indoor noise aspect, but man, the amount of walking around I do for troubleshooting PCs, picking up packages, travelling to the IT Storage closet, and walking around other locations would make this great.
These could be fire for trips to amusement parks, imagine being able to ride every ride twice in a day with these lmao
The end nailed it. The best use case here I think is NOT commuters. People that work in warehouses or have to walk long smooth corridors have the best case for these being effective. Yes they are capable of bumps and light terrain, but they lose a lot of efficiency.
The reaction from everyone in the office gave me "Robocop arrives at the Detroit police department" scene vibes.
“I’m gonna assess the quality of the velcro”… “that’s velcro” 😂
I feel like once these can be miniaturized and incorporated into regular looking shoes I think they will be pretty cool
People who were into Heely's will like these. They don't have a lot of range though. I can see kids digging these.
Wow didn’t think my response to this video would be to fall in love with this guy. Your humor is ❤perfection❤ never change
"Existing Infrastructures" = your legs. Merci James !
People working in big buildings like malls, airports, warehouses, and so on could use these for sure. Would probably add a small wearable pouch with a swappable battery though. Something that does not require you to remove the whole thing to keep them working.
I love walking, i love platform soles, and i love ankle weights. I need these lol. They should have a mechanical brake though, so you cant force the servos when they're off.
When I was in Oslo Airport, there were people behind the ticketing counters on razer scooters to move fast
I might wear these to reduce a half hour walk to work before sunrise in the winter temps
I think a second or third generation of these could be amazing. I hope enough early adopters pick them up to see a new model in a few years with a better price/range. I could see mailmen choosing to use these if they were light enough and lasted a whole shift.
This is one of the best episodes in a while!
Koji Igarashi is already preordering this to walk like Alucard in real life
I love how my brain while watching the test run of these is like "This feels photoshopped, but that's the point of the product" 😂😂😂
lmao i want him to go to an airport and just walk around with these
I could actually see them working better if they were closer to skates but with a hand controlled dampener (like something you can clip on your belt). Can full on skate where you have space, but manually up the resistance or even lock full breaks when you need to. Also, by being actual skates, there's no motor (only resistance breaking), so you wouldn't have to worry about charge as much. I could see that being very useful (and much simpler than this current prototype)
I could see those being useful in a lot of industrial activities. Warehouse, workers and airport workers who need to walk a lot.
With rollerblades you have the sensation of I'm-gonna-die if the hill is steep enough, which can be fun depending on your personality.
Someone needs to combine these plus a moving sidewalk for ultimate gliding speed.
I can see a place for these in the workplace. You could easily see a 5% gain in productivity and energy levels in the right workplace and the shoes would pay for themselves in no time.
My old work refused a 2nd monitor for years until they saw a 20% productivity boost and realised every 5 monitors was the equivalent of a free worker
I have the feeling that walking down stairs with a pair of these would make me feel like ED-209 from Robocop
Imagine these catch on. 'Damnit Honey! I forgot to charge my shoes again!'
I could totally see myself using a pair of these. My commute to work is pretty short. There's usually nobody on the sidewalks. It's also SUPER hilly so not very good for biking. Perfect environment!
Super hilly, I guarantee it won't make it up some hills
yea super hilly might not be the best use case for these guys. 10 degree is what the engg sample says; i reckon the actual work put in required to get these going at that speed not to mention the maneuverability and control are going to take a serious hit
Well that sounds like roller skating with extra steps.
Roller skates used to strap to your normal shoes.
As for these, the tech's sadly not there yet. Not to mention places have enough trouble with kids flying around on their heelys inside places of business where they could accidentally knock people down.
This might be useful for older people... kinda cool! The coolest guy in middle school! I had those moon shoes, the ones with the elastics in the early 90's, I quickly moved on from them, but they were AWESOME at first lol. Just get an EUC. :)
11:25 big box stores had some employees in in-line skates here about 10-15 years ago, these could re-add that kind of fast-deployment groups.
This is like the Moon Boots of the 90's except they probably won't wreck your spine.
"Linus was a transformer" I'm dead 😂
He looks like one of those video game models walking faster than their feet move.
I like how they make you look like a video game character where the walk animation is way too slow for how fast they are moving
I fully expect to see you cruising LTX in these.
Ergonomics are super important for stuff like this. If thats not thought into the design and the goal is to use this product for comuting/working then it can cause a lot of postural or gait issues which will lead into lawsuit central baby
These are nice!!!
Now we need a channel super fun video with everyone on it wearing these
There was one individual in LTT company to review and try these, you blew it.
"Tired of walking, sit in a chair" has to be one of the best segues to sponsor ever
4:56 this is just hilarious how they actually work HAHA
“They look like if Linus was a transformer…” 😂
