I am quite sure that Hanna Barbera’s cartoons do bring back plenty of fond memories to many of us, with the futuristic The Jetsons being one of them, long before the likes of Star Trek and Star Wars made their respective appearances. The Jetsons did come with a future which was full of robots as well as pets that were intelligent enough to hold a conversation with you.

    If you look at how it works, then you’ll see it’s more like a tethered pair of roller skates than anything else. The added handles provided additional balance so you can push forward and go faster with ease. There’s also an optional basket attachment so you can carry groceries and other items.

    Aside from letting you go places faster, it also gives you a bit of a workout in the process. According to its makers “The AeYO exercises your fitness, coordination and strength. It is recommended by leading orthopaedists and athletes for its efficiency in therapy and workout.”

    It’s pricey though, as the AeYo comes with a €449 (~$610 USD) price tag. It’s available in six colors (red, blue, green, white, gray, black) and two sizes.
