I had a dream about this the other night: I was given a pair of shoes made by Lamborghini, which were beautifully designed, strikingly black, and had built in motors that drove you around. So in a sense they were like motorized roller skates.

In fact I found a video on YouTube that depicts, in a far less elegant manner and in lego, what I’m talking about:

I see two potential difficulties with such an idea: safety and comfort. It would compete with the Segway, which is probably easier to nagivate. Anyway it’s an interesting idea nonetheless, and it would be really great if sports car manufacturers (or should we call them designers) like Lamborghini and Ferrari started designing non-car motors.
