Remember Heelys, those horrendously unsafe sneakers with the built-in wheels that were popular in the early 2000s?
Yeah, they're back from the graveyard... sorta. Razor (not to be confused with Razer) has taken the same concept of wheels-on-heels and motorized the whole dang thing.

On one foot is an 80-watt, gear-driven motor with a battery capable of propelling you up to 10 miles per hour for 30 minutes. Its max weight limit is 176 pounds.
Turbo Jetts, unlike Heelys, fit over your sneakers. This is a big plus because -- let's be real -- Heelys were ugly AF. They were big and heavy and just made you look like a total dork (it's still debatable which was worse: Skechers or Heelys).
Slip the Turbo Jetts over your sneakers and start cruising.Credit: raymond wong/mashableTurbo Jetts still look dorky, but at least you can take them off before you get to school or work so nobody sees them. They fit U.S. kid shoes up to size 12 and U.S. adult shoes up to 12 as well.
Like any motorized "rideable," there's a learning curve before you can cruise on Turbo Jetts. A company representative told me it should only take a few hours to find your balance and get the hang of how they feel.
Laugh all you want at how silly they look, but they actually seem like fun. Provided you wear a helmet, of course. They could even be practical for short commutes.
