ABSTRACT:
A powered skate having a small motor mounted on an in-line rollerblade with a hand-held throttle. The motor, such as a small internal combustion engine, is mounted at the rear of an in-line skate having a frame secured to a user's shoe or boot and drives the rear roller via a reduction gear train, which may include a clutch assembly. The engine is started by a pull cord, and the engine speed is controlled by a hand-held control unit attached to the engine via a throttle cable, which may be secured to the user's body via arm and leg straps. The powered in-line skate and a non-powered in-line skate can safely drive a user to speeds of about 20 MPH, this providing alternate transportation for the user.
