currently im actually building a pair, ive made a prototype, but the "air cushion" was too small and the force of landing broke the motor in the wheel:-( so now im using springs, wonder if i could get one of those darwin awards ehh:p hahaha, the engine im using is battery powered, reacharged by the rolling of the wheels, sort of like a car engine. Anyways, if anyone would like to come to london to meet me, i can show you them, and then i might start making them for sale:)

P.p.s Im 15, and i can do enginering, mainly because my fathers work is to design military aircrafts and he taught me how to do it.

oh and in reply to everyone whos asked what voltage you need, the anime says 4 kilowats, i prefer to use 14 V, and the engines pretty tiny, but the basic consepts are the same, lean forwards and you speed up, theres an acellerater under the wheel arches, which when pushed on by anything, speeds the wheel up, theres also a brake at the back, so you lean backwards to slow down, the only real problem is that it cost me nearly £600 to make one, n it took me 6 months of workin everyday to get that kinda money, but well, it was worth it, for a minutes when i pulled off that first trick on my AT's i thought i gonna end up flying, its amazin, for everyone out there that has a job, save your money and make yourself a pair of AT's, you feel like a bird when your on em, you feel light as a feather, and when you do a sweet trick and your 10 or 20 meters of the ground, its the best, to put it simply:)
