It would appear to me that these are the skates.

Made by Antonio Pirrello in 1956, these skates feature a 19-pound gasoline motor that is worn like a backpack. The gas connects to the right skate to push while the skater holds his left foot out in front to steer. A second cable connects to the hand-held clutch to regulate speed. These skates can roll at up to 40 miles-per-hour.

Today, we have hoverboards that catch fire while they're being charged.

That was more for cheap Chinese LiPo batteries, not too uncommon in the RC hobby.

Unless you want a lithium fire, buy a decent battery.

Imagine how crazy the world would be if these caught on.

We could have had X-game rocket skate championships...
