You Are on a Roll!

Want to have a “wheel” lot of fun? These unique gifts will get you rolling…literally. Each item below is a fun, post-modern alternative to skates, skateboards, and bikes!

This all-terrain electric hoverboard rolls over dirt, gravel, grass, and pavement with impunity, controlled entirely by the subtle movements in a rider’s feet. The hoverboard propels forward to a maximum speed of 12 MPH, powered by a 400-watt electric motor. A smartphone app allows you to set a maximum speed, change the colors of the multicolor front LEDs, and set steering sensitivity. As if that’s not enough, it also plays music from any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone via a built-in speaker. 

These circular skates are an unusual hybrid between a skateboard and skates. Simply place your feet on the two platforms and lean side-to-side to rotate the rubber wheels around your feet. You’ll propel forward in a serpentine motion similar to longboard skateboarding. Because the wheels are not connected, this unique gift allows for 720-degree spins and turns on a dime. They’ll catch some eyes at the skate park, and make Marty McFly green with envy.

Recumbent-style bicycles have become very popular, but they require a wide turning radius or a dismount if you need to reverse direction. This three-wheeled single-speed cruiser is different: it has an easy-to-use reverse gear shift that enables pedaling backwards. This cruiser also has a low center of gravity, making its high degree of stability a unique gift for younger and older riders.

Any of these unique gifts will get you from point A to point B. But more importantly, you’ll have fun getting there…remember, life isn’t about the destination, it’s about the journey.
