AtmosGear E-Skates Unveiled at CES 2023
French start-up company AtmosGear unveiled a new form of commuting - by electric skates - at CES 2023. The company says these are the world's first, electric inline skates. AtmosGear specifically developed the e-skates as an alternative to electric bikes and electric skateboards. They are being marketed as a new form of daily micro mobility commuting.
Tech Specs & More
Here are some vital details on the e-skates:
Range on a charge is 20 miles
Top speed is 20 mph
A bag secured at the skater's waste holds the battery and cables that connect to the skates
The e-skates motors are controlled by the skater with a remote-control device
It takes an hour to give the skates a full charge
The company says the skates can be re-charged while in use
They can be used as regular skates when a recharge is needed or for skating under the person's power
Motorized turntable adapts to all roller boots
Price is $500.00
They can be pre-ordered and are expected to go into mass production.
Entrepreneurial Plans
AtmosGear has won several innovation, engineering and entrepreneurship awards in France. The company's team of engineers, designers and innovators hold two world patents on the e-skates. It took them four years to develop this highly innovative product. They now want to take the company global by starting with significant operations in Europe, the US and Asia. They hope to become a micro mobility leader and also start a new sport with live inline electric skating competitions that would be streamed for viewers to enjoy.

Instant Air Pollution Sensor
New Portable, Air Quality Monitor from Singapore Source: NTU Singapore Real-Time Detection of Toxic Gases & Chemicals in the Air Researchers at Nanyang Technological University - NTU Singapore - have invented a sensor that can identify a wide range of airborne gases and chemicals instantly. This includes gas leaks and pollution toxins both indoors and outside. The prototype device is portable and made for rapid deployment by agencies to identify airborne hazards immediately. Seconds Fast Results Current technology can require up to a few days to identify specific toxins in the air. This new sensor is made for emergency situations that require quick and ongoing analysis. The device is composed of a chip made from a porous nanomaterial that traps gas particles. A laser beamed on the chip interacts with the gas molecules to produce a lower energy light. That light is analyzed by a camera to see if its spectroscopic signature matches known toxic gases. It provides a
New Electric Surfboard from Sweden
Surfing With No Waves Needed, Anytime of Year Source: Awake Surfboard Can Hit 36 MPH Sweden-based Awake has developed a powerful electric surfboard that can hit speeds of 36 mph. It can accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in just 4 seconds. The Ravik S 22 electric surfboard is able to surf on any body of water any time of year including on snowy winter days. And, it doesn't need waves to surf! It provides an extreme surfing ride, developed by an award-winning surfboard company. Tech Specs The e-board is powered by a 12-kW brushless motor. The motor has three speed settings and three throttle sensitivity modes. It has a wireless speed control system that cuts throttle response time down to .02 seconds. The quick response time makes it much easier for the surfer to time turns and jumps. A 1.9-kW battery provides a ride time of 15 to 20 minutes. That version of the board is priced at $15,000.
