How are you supposed to keep on the trillionaire crypto mogul grindset when you have to do something as mundane as placing one foot in front of the other to get to your next high-flying presentation? Well, here comes Shift Robotics to revolutionize the process of movement humanity has relied on for at least three million years. Looking for all the world like the Fisher Price roller skates of the '80s and '90s but for grown-ups, the company claims its "Moonwalkers" allow users to "walk at the speed of a run" but without all the unseemly sweating and hyperventilation. Think of that groovy sensation you get when gliding along a travelator at an airport, silently mocking passers-by walking at a regular pace who have not yet ascended to godhood. Yes, that, but attached to the soles of your feet.

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.

Segway-Ninebot claimed it has found the next'big trend' - electric roller skates. The tech company unveiled the Segway Drift W1 - a pair of e-skates that use the signature balancing technology that they have been known for since the release of the Segway Human Transporter in 2002. The skates are black and white and advertised as'easy to carry, lightweight and small' - although the firm has not yet said how much they will cost. Segway plans to formally reveal the new product during the IFA 2018 tech show in Berlin on August 30. For now, the company has posted a lifestyle page on its site along with a video of the skates in action.
