ABSTRACT:
A combination of a conventional roller skate having a platform which supports the skater and axles/wheels below the supporting platform which are mounted in rotational relationship to the platform; and a motor adapted to drive the wheels. In this combination, there is provided a braking system which is operatively associated with the wheels and/or axles and which is operated by hingedly depressing a forward portion of the support platform by means of the forward portion of the skater's foot, such as the toes. Depressing the forward portion of the support platform forces a braking means into effective stopping contact with the wheels. There is further provided a means to start the motor which is associated with the skate. In this embodiment, an auxiliary wheel is provided rearwardly of the skate and out of contact with the surface on which the skate wheels bear. The skater starts skating in a conventional manner, and when enough speed has been achieved, the skate is pivoted about the rear wheels to cause the auxiliary wheel to contact the surface on which the conventional wheels bear. This contact turns the auxiliary wheel which jump starts the motor.
