Saw these on Vsauce2 just now and thought they were pretty cool. Apparently these skateboard wheels have LEDs in them that light up when the wheels spin. The LEDs have a 100,000 hour life expectancy and there are no batteries. The spinning of the wheels generates the current necessary. I have no idea how durable they are, though.
The website says a set of 4 wheels is $40. A whole board is $100. I'm not gonna link directly.
I will put a picture or two for people who don't YouTube.
I hope that means no bikes or blades either. It ticks me off how people judge the skaters here. Grrrrr
Running on a treadmill! Ho hum. At least they could have shown real tricks at night time.
Some Travons are going to do some killing to get some of those.
Bikes are allowed after dark if they have lights and reflectors.
Here, you might and you might not. It depends on your last name.
