Liquid architecture. It's like jazz - you improvise, you work together, you play off each other, you make something, they make something. And I think it's a way of - for me, it's a way of trying to understand the city, and what might happen in the city.

Spnkix

spnkix motorized skates 
designed by peter treadway


LA and Beijing-based creative agency jpworks, 'spnkix' are motorized skates
that strap onto ordinary shoes. The devices are controlled via wireless remote, offering the potential for users to effortlessly travel at almost 10 miles per hour.

The skates consist of two motorized wheels on either side, with a battery pack installed within the back of the unit, which also features a safety reflector on its exterior. Two ratchet straps along the fiber reinforced nylon frame secure the devices to any kind of shoe.
 
Remote-controlled, the skates permit users to vary their throttle and speed at will, or walk, climb steps, and even drive a car normally when not activated. Although each charge lasts about two to three miles, the batteries are removable, so users can bring a backup supply in the case of longer trips; each attains a full charge in about two hours.
