For anyone who's ever looked at someone riding a hoverboard and thought "Cool, but how could this get even more reckless?", the InMotion Hovershoes X1s provide the answer. The radical conveyances are to hoverboards what hoverboards are to Segways, further minimizing the self-balancing structure in favor of more speed and more creativity.
Hoverboards consist of two motorized, self-balancing wheels that are connected to one another via a central joint. The InMotion Hovershoes X1s are what would happen if someone managed to remove that intermediate connection. That seemingly simple innovation opens up a lot of potential for people looking to get extreme, with tricks that can range from dance moves to using one's hands to manipulate the motors.
