# Rubber-Track Rollerblades These Rollerblades Move On Tracks Like Military Tanks By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-03-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollerblades References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/ev4-electric-off-road-rollerblades/42493/) & [ev4.pl](http://www.ev4.pl/offroadrollerblades/index-en.html) Polish innovator Jack Skopinski has come up with exceptionally innovative rollerblades that, rather than moving around through wheel-to-ground contact like regular rollerblades, roll around on a rubber track in a manner that's reminiscent to big military tanks. The rear section of each rollerblade features a [350 Watt DC motor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eskimo) that is juiced up with 26-volt lithium-ion batteries as well as a handy 36 A controller. This setup enables these rubber-tracked rollerblades to zip along at speeds of up to 15 km/h for as much as 20 km at a time before the batteries need to be recharged once again. Ultimately, these unique rubber-tracked rollerblades will appeal to people getting tired of [conventional rollerblading](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naowheel) and looking for something that works differently. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rubber-track Rollerblades:** This innovative rollerblade design that moves on tracks instead of wheels presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the personal transportation industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Personal Transportation:** The personal transportation industry can explore the use of rubber tracks as a novel way to improve mobility and develop innovative products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [App-Controlled Skates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appcontrolled-skates.md) - [Motorized Electric Roller Skates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollwalk-electric-roller-skates.md) - [Motorized Inline Skate Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escend-blades.md) - [Walking Assistance Roller Skates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-roller-skates.md) - [All Terrain Electric Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skwheel-one.md) - [Three-Wheeled Tank Track Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oruga-unitrack.md) - [Bluetooth-Operated Motorized Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-electric-skateboard.md) - [Electric Inline Skates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmosgear.md) - [Lightweight Gliding Walker Boosters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonwalkers-aero.md)
