We are so excited to tell the world we are unveiling a new model of the Moonwalker!
Announcement to come at CES 2024 in Las Vegas!
To learn more about our new model and announcement, read the full press release here:
Moonwalkers :: Introducing the world's fastest shoes. With an instinctive AI drivetrain, you’re able to walk at the running speed. Join the waitlist for Kickstarter launch now at:
School Streets have been popular in Austria, Germany, and Czechia for a couple of years now.
Walkable areas, safer children, healthier living.
#MakeTheWorldAMoreWalkablePlace
Paris now has 180 gorgeous ‘school streets.’ They are pedestrianized and landscaped streets around schools - to mitigate crashes, prioritize walking to school, reduce noise and air pollution. No brainer, really.
Moonwalkers move only when you do, including going up and down stairs with our two modes: Lock and Shift. Change modes with foot-driven gesture control for seamless transitions and a hands-free experience.

AI x Robotics is advancing incredibly fast.
Rabbit, Amazon, OpenAI, Intuition, Samsung, Shift Robotics, and Columbia University have all made major progress over the past week.
Here's everything you need to know:
Not the sidewalk/crosswalk puddles again 🤦♂️
With
#Moonwalkers
, just walk straight across it in any city 😃

Time to shift to the next chapter in Austin!
This is one of the problems we’re trying to fix. We’ve decided to make walking better and faster, effectively helping to eliminate E-Scooter pollution like this.
Xunjie Zhang, CEO and Founder of Shift Robotics, is the next of many celebrities to decline the invitation to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.
No further questions will be answered
Thank you

A wearable robotics-powered product from a Pittsburgh-based startup is lacing up to offer its users the ability to walk at the speed of a run following a simple installation onto most shoes.
Shift Robotics was included in
@TIME
’s Best Inventions of 2023 list!
#TIMEBestInventions
A year ago today, we launched our Kickstarter campaign, and today, we are recognized on such a prestigious list. It is an incredible honor to be included with so many great inventions.
Thank you

Moonwalkers give users a powered boost as they walk

A walkable city is a beautiful one. The NYC Marathon is a special time for New Yorkers and it proves there is a way for every city to be one that puts pedestrians first
“That’s where you’ve got it confused. We aren’t like skates at all. We’re just an extension of the leg but even that’s half the story haha. We just really want people to see they don’t have to rely on cars. Just walk more you know?”
With this move and increased office space, we are looking to expand our engineering and sales teams. If you are looking to shift into a new career, apply here:

There's a clear correlation:
Walkability is *the* premium apartment amenity.
In Nashville, every additional point of Walk Score results in 1¢ of additional rent per square foot.
30 schools, Clifford the Big Red Dog, and the mayor of Denver participated in this years Walk, Bike, and Roll to School Day last week! Check out how these kids enjoyed their time off the bus and across the sidewalk
@JimHarris
We are very excited for our first-ever time at CES!
The Moonwalkers learn how users walk to make any warehouse, distribution center, 3PL (or even convention center) a much more productive and walkable place.
All walking, no skating here 🌙🚶♂️
See us at Central Plaza

@NathieVR
You are one of many people to inquire about VR use. Our Moonwalkers are like walking sidewalks in an airport; with this being said, our wheels only go forward, which would undoubtedly make for an awkward VR experience.
The intuitive control is achieved by a custom AI control module in each shoe. They adapt to user walking in real-time by exchanging acceleration and gyro data with each other and running them through a neuromuscular model. (3/3)

At the heart of
#Moonwalkers
, there is a state-of-the-art brushless DC motor distributing its power across eight polyurethane wheels through a precision machined gearbox. (2/3)
If you bought our Moonwalker shoe and didn’t return the box we shipped it in that is THEFT.
You paid for the shoes, not the box. We can’t sell to the rest of America until we get those boxes back.
Thanks
When reducing carbon emissions, living a healthier life, getting vitamin C, making cities less car-reliant, meeting personal step goals, walking 250% faster and Moonwalkers all meet

CES was a huge success for us, and the momentum going forward is crazy 😎
Please stop asking engineering questions to the social media account.
I just do the tweets. Ask me what a hashtag is
But seriously any engineering questions you have submit them here
The time has finally arrived...

This is how American cities looked before we prioritized making them car-centric… By making the world a more walkable place, we are able to bring back this kind of beautiful American architecture
Prior to World War II, we built places like Galena, Illinois everywhere. Then our development pattern changed from walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods, to car-centric, single-use suburbs.
The former is resilient and adaptable. The latter is fragile and inflexible.
@timonsku
We will start international shipping once we complete the Kickstarter orders and obtain the certifications required for each specific country outside US.
We always appreciate the support of those in our community. We are tirelessly working to bring the best product we can to those who believe we can make the world a more walkable place.
We encourage everyone to take a look at what Free Think posted about us and why we work ⬇️⬇️

@drewisgooden
just posted a really funny video about the Moonwalker shoes we reported on in February. He noted some real challenges: comfort, user-friendliness, and price point. He also brought up the biggest drawback: it would be really embarrassing for his wife to see him fall
#Moonwalkers
are now fully funded! 🌕🚶🚀🎉🎊Thank you all the backers that helped us reached the goal in less than 3 days!

Also seen in this poll:
"71% of Boston area voters support wider sidewalks."
And
"59% Boston area voters support closing some streets to car traffic and letting walkers and bikers use the entire street."
Boston wants to make their city a more walkable place!
