I don't know if ShortCircuit did that before, but playing a "wrong" sound when a host says something that is not correct is an amazing idea. I don't always look at the screen when enjoying the content so sometimes I might miss a visual correction, thanks for adding the sound!
They started doing it as part of LMG's commitment to increased scrutiny and accuracy following their recent big controversy. It's a good change. Previously, an incorrect assumption such as that likely would have gone unchecked.
This video needed a helmet, and camera stabilization. The only reason to film something with that much camera shake is if there is a Bigfoot in the shot. :)
Kinda wish they'd do a video on why manufacturers could possibly be using mini or micro USB connectors for simple charging stuff on new products. Did someone buy a trillion of them and now they're simply cheaper than USBc to charge random junk?
I feel like Linus has mentioned it before, but essentially USB-C includes some processing and a controller, which adds non-insignificant cost. Whereas I think microB is much simpler, and therefore much cheaper to use. Edit: microB super sucks though. IMO it's worth it as a customer to pay whatever that cost delta is for the more robust type C connector
@@IsaacRifkinAs long as you don't need more than 5v, you only need two resistors to use USB c. The bigger problem is that the port itself costs 10-20 cents more.
@@IsaacRifkin That makes some sense, I wasn't really aware it was "significantly" more expensive. I'm aware of a slight improvement in manufacturing costing 20 cents really adds up when you make a million of the widgets, but when everything is rounded up so heavily to $xx.99 anyway, do the extra 10 cents in cost really blow away bottom lines to make an actually good product that more people will want to buy?
I would be extremely hard to build several different sets of muscle memory for the slightly different performance you will get at each "help" setting under different conditions like surface traction, humidity, slope angle, etc.
@@no_ideaman thats why i keep my pevs at max speed. if you kept them at max speed youd get used to it pretty quickly. i have an electric skateboard that pulls pretty hard and although thats much easier than rollerblades as im familiar with both, im able to full throttle and slam on the brakes no problem. id love to get my hands on a set of electrified rollerblades
Exactly! Some of the worse camera work they've done in recent times. Even the GTA5 drunk camera shake is more stable than this crap. Gonna make people puke! 🤮
I use to roller skate when I was a kid. I am pretty sure I was going a lot faster than 30km/hour too. I'd pass cars on the streets. I always enjoyed that look of WTF from drivers when you roller skate past them. lol
I did about 55 kph once (years ago, when I had much lower self-preservation instinct) and it was pretty scary. Considering the amount of bruising and scraping a fall at a way lower speed caused on a different occasion, when a rock blocked my wheel and I got catapulted forward, I don't feel much attraction to powered transporters with such tiny wheels.
I think the moonwalkers are more intuitive because they actually require you to actually walk. This is like you have an electric skateboard on each foot.
I can see these being better than other forms of transportation because they can fit into a backpack. If you're someone concerned about your bike being stolen or a scooter taking up too much room, then this is the perfect solution.
I feel like we're living in the future. Then I forget I'm from the late 1900s, and I travelled in time linearly to end up right here in this moment, watching this video! The shoes seem legit. I'd probably crack my head open the first time I use them, though.
Great video. I'm not in the market for anything like this, but it seems to me like their biggest advantage would be the fact that, unlike a scooter or anything else, you could throw them in a backpack You should have demoed the ltt backpack with them in it. You leave your apt you go down to the street, pull them out of your backpack, zip over to your work, throw them back in your backpack, set it beside your desk. No chance of them being stolen.
There are some electric scooters that fold up and you can hang them on the outside of your backpack, out under your desk, etc. I mean these are definitely smaller, but I think the lack of an immediate stop makes me more certain that theft is a better alternative to being roadkill.
Bend your knees, when you are on any PEVs, bend your knees, one it’s more stable, and you won’t go flying when you hit a bump or holes. And always lean forward when you’re accelerating and put your weight back when you’re breaking.
And let us not forget the utility... in the Canadian winter with lots of snow.... One can still attempt to go around on a bicycle, using this will be a death wish. I do appreciate the orange vest/coat more people should be wearing that in traffic.
Yeah, the moonwalkers are still more interesting. Wonky as they are, they at least use an intuitive method of locomotion and can function in a stairs heavy environment safely.
Hmm, those wheels are gonna be rough in the real world. Any bumps, cracks, or anything larger than small debris on the road is gonna send you to your face.
that's just a general rf remote, my electric skateboard has the same one, a lot of rf electric vehicles, do and its common for those to break, had a friends strap snap after he dropped it once
I agree with the closing statements. My commute by foot is 37 minutes just about and I would sooner use my bike than these. I like the size of these its just not it.. lol I want a different solution.
If the terrain is suitable, check out electric longboard. I used a Boosted Board daily for four years, which cut down my walk to 25% of its original time
Problem on some commutes would be crowded sidewalks. How many people are going to get knocked down due to not braking in time or braking too quickly and you fall forward into someone. Plus, with all slowing down and dodging normal walking people, may as well just walk, too.
I would be concerned with the wheels catching on something, but the small size is quite convenient. I prefer my electric skateboard with large wheels myself though.
the protective gear alone is worthy enough to be in anyone's "outside activity box"....if protective gear looked that nice, i'd maybe even wear some just for the style alone...it's like modern armor
Only people with private land get to use E-scooters in England. They're illegal for public highways here. I doubt these Rollwalkers will do any better. Those heelies were really popular though back in the day.
since they are self driving they'd probably run into various regulation traps. Like needing an insurance, registering, driving on the road (that's scary). E-scooters have been regulated into oblivion here in Germany for that reason.

it’s kinda funny too
Yes! A lot of times I consume LMG content while doing other stuff so my eyes are not always on the screen. A footnote correction is not enough.
Every time they do a semi dubious product like this I'm half expecting the opening sponsor they segue to, to be a life/health insurance company.
Dude did not even wear a helmet. Yes I know he is James but everyone is a dude, dude.
Colton: write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!!
Linus and Luke have been on record saying how think medical insurance is a scam.
Yeah in Seattle these things are a great way to die xD
@@Kyle496You realise Canada has Universal Health Care right?
The US health insurance system is a complete scam and a wrought.
We have come full circle to where you should just buy rollerblades

These skates look like a bunch of hobby diy stuff put together professionally. Maybe the remote pcb is only manufactured with a Micro USB port.

Identical controller to my meepo longboard, it's just a stock controller that is easy for pairs to electronic escs.
Regular style rollerblades with 50W in each would actually be great. Would make them much more feasible in cities with a lot of vertical climbing

In each what, wheel? My eskate has 3000 watts per motor.
Holy non-camera stabilization man - get some!
Exactly! Some of the worse camera work they've done in recent times. Even the GTA5 drunk camera shake is more stable than this crap. Gonna make people puke! 🤮
Maybe some electric rollerskates would help... :-p
I love that he protected everything important. Everyone knows that the head is just for looks, nothing important in there. 😂
Damn Airgear is real now.
I’m not the only one!!!!

I love how James did the sponsorship read before he might get injured lol
Those magnet clasps are so cool, a friend's bag uses them too. They're by a company called "fidlock".
Yeah, that was the coolest part of the product
do you know the brand of the bag?
5:00 Linus Media group forgets how to stabilize a camera (or video in post) and EVERYONE is motion sick now.
I think the moonwalkers are more intuitive because they actually require you to actually walk. This is like you have an electric skateboard on each foot.
Looks like we will eventually get real airgears!!!
Bro I was gonna say that
Linus special ability is jumping up and dropping graphic cards on his opponents to distract them.
Oh man this hit me with some nostalgia
@@ElSuperNova23 ain't that the truth
"The desire to fly with ''real wings'' is what motivates you."
Sky to High. Lets Goooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys! Fantastically compelling demo of why good image stabilization is a must.
I can see these being better than other forms of transportation because they can fit into a backpack. If you're someone concerned about your bike being stolen or a scooter taking up too much room, then this is the perfect solution.
That shakycam(tm) almost made me lose dinner.
I love how he says be safe, then proceeds to ignore literally the most important piece of safety equipment.
Imagine how fast you'll fly using these on those airport escalator/walkways.
I feel like we're living in the future. Then I forget I'm from the late 1900s, and I travelled in time linearly to end up right here in this moment, watching this video!
The shoes seem legit. I'd probably crack my head open the first time I use them, though.
if they went with a roller blades form instead of a roller skates form then they might have had something. It would fix the safety issues too
Can you guys actually get a camera stabilisation dolly or something? The runs and gun camera wobble is ridiculous! Who passed the QC on this video?
Time to ask the CEO for better/another gimbal.
Very sketchy - but I think I'd eventually get used to them
Needed to get the camera man a OneWheel or a gimble
and this is where the Air Gear anime starts off

The child in me is so happy, we're so close to Air Gear! 🥺
glad I'm not the only one who thought of that

First time experiencing anything fidlock is truly mind blowing.
i love the idea of those , I used to watch an anime called air gear where they had these motorized rollerblade and this is the closest thing to it
I just know there's someone in the neighbouring offices looking out the window and seeing James tearing past and thinking "there he goes again"
...Did the cameraman on the skates too? I've got motion sickness on the outdoor scene a bit...
Love the fact checking sound effect in the edit
And let us not forget the utility... in the Canadian winter with lots of snow.... One can still attempt to go around on a bicycle, using this will be a death wish. I do appreciate the orange vest/coat more people should be wearing that in traffic.
they look like those super cool yellow and blue fisher price roller skates that us kids had in the 90s
Yeah, the moonwalkers are still more interesting. Wonky as they are, they at least use an intuitive method of locomotion and can function in a stairs heavy environment safely.
So when are we getting Air Gears now ? 😂
Don't you mean Air Trecks?
bruh LMG dont you have cameras with video stabilazation?😂
And if you accidentally drop remote while travaling on full speed, then what?
Find a wall.
James clearly cares more about his knees than his face. Nice!
And the „most shaky camera“ award, goes to: LTT 😅
Cute, they are electric sandals for Linus…
finally we're getting to the Jet Set Radio future!
also is Micro USB still that much cheaper for manufacturers?
Ok seriously what jacket is that
The big motions and wide stance of the wheels makes these more like electric skis than anything..
Someday we'll have real AT's.. 🤣
If I fall on those, I will definitely need the ER 😂 They look fun though!
Did you Guys get the AIR TRICK ones? Please do those next. We need more competition in this space.
Still waiting for a ShortCircuit on Electric Unicycles.
I saw your shoes and was thinking: "Why is his heel so much swollen?" Then i Realized, this are ur shoes!
No image stabilization?
I can imagine all the otrher units stopping work as all trhe employees are looking out the windows as the shout goes out "they are at it again"
Hmm, those wheels are gonna be rough in the real world. Any bumps, cracks, or anything larger than small debris on the road is gonna send you to your face.
"These are to cool for you!... loosers" 😂😂😂😂😂
5:00 guys stabilize the footage in post jeez
that's just a general rf remote, my electric skateboard has the same one, a lot of rf electric vehicles, do and its common for those to break, had a friends strap snap after he dropped it once
4:55 Will someone PLEASE get the cameraman an Osmo Pocket 3?
My childhood dream.. it's just missing the model rocket engines. 😂
I know it's short circuit but can we get some gimbal on the camera??
I agree with the closing statements. My commute by foot is 37 minutes just about and I would sooner use my bike than these. I like the size of these its just not it.. lol I want a different solution.

I know you said stairs would be a bad place to use them but you forgot to mention the pool.
Do they come with snow treads?
great video, but please use stabilizer when recording while running... pretty sure u guys review bunch of good gimbal u can use...
Should totally get a skate board for the camera man for them rolling shots. Talk about Cloverfield
Finally i was looking for this product since the electric scooter was on the market
What is an eu size 43 never seen those measurements at least not in the uk
A minute in a half in and it has micro B....i wonder what other corners were cut to save $.05 per unit?
Definitely getting some Marty mcFly vibes from these and the jacket 😁
Problem on some commutes would be crowded sidewalks. How many people are going to get knocked down due to not braking in time or braking too quickly and you fall forward into someone. Plus, with all slowing down and dodging normal walking people, may as well just walk, too.
That's when you swap into a road-lane.
Gonna dance in those skates or just ride them?
I'm eager for whatever comes after mustaches.
If only they had a lock for the wheels. Rolling to the train station on these then rolling to work.
What's with the video stabilization, when on the streets, is it really an LMG video ?
😅😅
What happens when you drop the remote?
I would be concerned with the wheels catching on something, but the small size is quite convenient. I prefer my electric skateboard with large wheels myself though.
They're 600 US dollars!! holy moly that's expensive!!
I seeing air gear and probably best underrated shonen manga
If anything they should patent that buckle. I want that in all my accessories!
The buckles are not theirs. They are made by another company fidlock
That screen shake though, get a gimbal or like post process that
Wow! New low for LMG. No helmet for James? Unbelievable.
the protective gear alone is worthy enough to be in anyone's "outside activity box"....if protective gear looked that nice, i'd maybe even wear some just for the style alone...it's like modern armor
micro B makes this product deserve to be left on a shelf at the store
Yeah, but do these work with sandals? Golden opportunity, missed, XD
this looks completely safe.....
my 14" wheel e bike moving at 20 mph feels kinda....safe?
but these, good luck!
Are those the skates from Airgear? (the anime)
Airgear is real now!
Can’t wait for Sleeping Forest to awaken
Only people with private land get to use E-scooters in England. They're illegal for public highways here. I doubt these Rollwalkers will do any better. Those heelies were really popular though back in the day.

Not in America baybay!
Get this man on a onewheel stat!
omg the time of air gear is here!!!
I wish the ergo keyboard videos would come back
Hello. 9:15 u write things in miles, please remember to put KM/h and stuff like this.
@shortcircuit - The camera work (heavy shaking) on this one wasn't very good guys.
Just in time for the snow season! :D
Want to go out?
Nah fam, I gotta charge my shoe's.
It just seems like all of these type of products try to solve a problem that doesn't exist or at least has much better and cheaper alternatives.
With these kind of products, it almost feels more like they have a designated victim rather than a presenter.
