The Wildest Electric Rideables At CES 2023

From battery-powered roller skates to the world's first electric snowbike, there was no shortage of innovative electric rideables at CES 2023.

CES 2023 gave many companies a platform to showcase new and exciting products, and these are the coolest electric rideables unveiled at the event. This year's edition has lived up to expectations, with various gadgets and concepts displayed for the world to see. Whether it's a health sensor that lives in the toilet bowl or an AI-powered lawnmower, brands keep finding new ways to use technology. Mobility was also represented at CES by vehicle manufacturers, EV charging providers, and makers of electric rideables.

Electric rideables not only optimize personal mobility, but they're highly beneficial to the environment. They come in handy for short commutes and also for running errands. And due to their small size and flexibility, they're great for skirting traffic. They contribute to a healthy lifestyle and also enable owners to enjoy gas savings. Various kinds of rideables appeared at this year's CES, ranging from bikes to roller skates. These are the most exciting products from the show.

French startup Atmos Gear presented the world's first electric inline skates. Not only are they built to help people with their daily commute, but their lightweight design ensures that users will find them easy to use even when there's no battery power. Riders can recharge on the move while cruising at 20 mph, thanks to a battery that's worn around the waist with cables that connect to the skates. Charging can be completed within an hour, and the skates come with a range of 20 miles.

Reservations for the skates cost $500 per unit and Atmos Gear promises to reward bulk purchases with a special offer. There are two ride modes – Remote Mode and Smart Mode. In Remote Mode, riders can remotely accelerate, reduce speed or stop using a controller. In Smart Mode, body movements control the skates and the electric motor only kicks in when riders increase their pace. For now, only Remote Mode is available.
