Segway-Ninebot unveils new images of its Drift W1 roller skates

Segway-Ninebot has given fans a new look at its high-tech electric roller skates, known as the Drift W1. The pair of self-balancing skates use the same stabilising technology as the famous two-wheeled Segway transporter to keep riders upright as they move. Unlike traditional roller skates, riders only need to lean forwards or backwards to move the Drift W1, which are not physically attached to the users' feet to make it easy to jump on or off. Drift W1 is'easy to carry, lightweight and small', according to Segway, which has not yet revealed how much the skates will cost when they launch at the IFA consumer technology tradeshow in Berlin next month.
