Dear the person in charge of the introduction s HermesWheels, gave us a demonstration of the possibilities of the electric skates that are now also sold in Greece under the brand Hermes1. As he explained to us, this is an electric skate with two wheels in a horizontal arrangement, consisting of 2 electric motors of 350W each, one in each wheel, a pack of lithium-ion batteries with a total performance of 36V 4400 mah, two gyroscopes and four pressure sensors that perceive the of the legs and are responsible for balance and direction of movement.

How to use the new Hermes1 is very simple. Each foot is also a wheel. Pressing the sole more forward or putting the body forward the skate goes forward, pressing backwards the skate moves backwards. With equal pressure back and forth the skate stays stopped with the rider up without having to lower the foot, since the two gyroscopes take care of the balance. The skate can also be moved backwards by pressing the soles towards the heels.

Turning is nothing more than just pushing one foot, or just back to the upside-down leg or both combinations at the same time. On the rear, there are two permanently lit signaling lights that flash as a car flash when you turn.

It really took only 5 minutes from the moment we got to the skateboard to be able to balance dignifiedly and make a strident ride. In 15 minutes, we inform you that we were cruising the Constitution Square in front of the surprised eyes of the passersby who saw it for the first time in action.

And then came the sequence of technical questions and explanations. The HermasWheels man informed us:

  • Autonomy? For track and for a rider weight of 75 kg (as much as an average man) the range is 3 hours or 20 km
  • Charge time; Connection is required with a single socket and charging time is 2,5 hours
  • Battery life; Lithium-ion batteries have 1000 life cycles of life, a number that can be increased if we charge them thoroughly.
  • Type of track surface; sidewalks, asphalt, grass and even dirt. Wheels with a diameter of 6 ”can cope with potholes with an altitude difference of 1,5 cm.
  • Maximum speed? It can travel at 12 km / h and has a climbing capacity of 15 degrees
  • Weight? 10 kilos that are not considered prohibited to be carried by hand. The skate comes with a bag precisely for this purpose.

The first pieces of Hermes1 have already arrived in Greece and are ready for delivery. Available in two colors white or black, in of 439,00 euros including VAT.
