You don't need to know how to roller skate with the Moonwalkers, you just walk.
With a battery-powered range of about six miles, they could potentially be another alternative to a car for short commutes or used as a last-mile tool if parking close to your destination is a challenge. And because they’re much smaller than an electric scooter or a bike, they’re easy to keep stashed at your desk or even in a backpack when not in use.The Moonwalkers are definitely an unorthodox way to get around, and, as you’ve probably guessed, they’re not exactly cheap either.
At the time of writing it’s not quite there yet, but you can pre-order a pair, with delivery expected as early as March of next year, with a $999 ‘Early Bird’ contribution. Full retail pricing for a pair of Moonwalkers is expected to be closer to $1,400.Even with a team of talented engineers from Carnegie Mellon University behind it, there’s always a risk with backing Kickstarter products, particularly from a company introducing its first consumer device.
