As commercially available motors and batteries grow in power-to-size ratio, we will be able to wear our electric vehicles like we wear shoes.
Electric roller skates presently available for sale appear underwhelming at best.
Is a viable, wearable ~1hp/pair roller skate possible with an RC motor and batteries in a backpack?
If so, what components would you choose?
How would you design such an ultra-personal electric vehicle?
I was an accomplished roller skater when younger, and would love to build a pair!
