In the Western Hemisphere, traveling by car anywhere is a nightmare with the traffic. Unfortunately if your older (read greater than 20 years old) then walking some times can take forever to get places.

Well Ilya Kaganovich with the help of his brother, Boris Kaganovich, an aerospace engineering student have invented motorized shoes to help you get around town. You simply strap on the “iShoes” and with the assistance of handheld controls you can travel at speeds up to 13.5mph.

The iShoes have a powerful 500 watt motor that run on rechargeable Lithium batteries.
