Lightweight Detachable Skates

Flashing Roller Skates Lighten Up a Commuter's Pack

— October 20, 2012 — Eco
Brando Toys makes it easy to commute with their Flashing Roller Skates.

Carrying around a pair of roller blades with you everywhere can be heavy and a hassle, but these attachable wheels make it exponentially easier on you and your shoulders. The Flashing Roller Skates roll on two wheels that are secured with Velcro. Though this may seem like a child's toy at first, these blades are suitable for ages eight and up. Unlike regular roller blades or skates, there are only two wheels, one on each side, so a little extra practice may be required. These add-ons are comparatively smaller that the traditional clunky rollers so they can be stowed away easily.

Without the heavy baggage, commuters can travel in a more relaxed manner with a lightweight pack.
Trend Themes
1. Attachable Wheels - The development of attachable wheels presents an opportunity for innovative transportation solutions that are convenient and easy to carry.
2. Lightweight Mobility - The trend towards lightweight mobility devices opens up possibilities for creating products that enhance convenience and reduce physical strain.
3. Compact Roller Skates - The emergence of compact roller skates provides a disruptive innovation opportunity to create user-friendly, space-saving options for recreational and commuting purposes.
Industry Implications
1. Sporting Goods - The sporting goods industry can explore the attachable wheels trend to develop new products that offer enhanced mobility experiences.
2. Outdoor Recreation - The outdoor recreation industry can leverage the lightweight mobility trend to design and market portable, easy-to-use equipment for outdoor activities.
3. Personal Transportation - The personal transportation industry can capitalize on the compact roller skates trend by creating innovative transportation solutions that are compact, lightweight, and convenient.
