The Roller Cycle ($1999.00) is a personal power accelerator which takes you safely up to 25 MPH on inline skates, skateboards and anything you can strap to your feet.
The powerful, two-cycle, 40.1 cc engine enables intermediate to advanced skaters to tackle any terrain.
Check out the safety video and this is a demonstration video of the Roller Cycle doing everything.
Don’t be fooled! This is exercise. Roller Cycle is an extreme workout as the force of the motor travels through the body. You feel the burn in your legs, the burn in your arms, as if you were traveling down a snow filled mountain. The same kind of energy is exerted and is a grueling exercise.

Describing a prototype model, Fortune Magazine, wrote the following:
“Extreme was a word tossed around a lot at the Super Show- meaning daring, risky, unboring, cutting-edge. And nothing was more extreme than the Roller Cycle, which even when seen, can’t be quite believed. An in-line skater leans into a yoke around his hips. Behind him and attached to this yoke around his hips, is a small gasoline motor driving a wheel in contact with the ground. A tug or two on the starting cord and vrooom! – the skater looking like he is being chased down the street by a rototiller, is off, propelled forward at speeds up to 25 miles per hour. He can, if he likes, tow one or more unmotorized skaters behind him.”
