Roller skates. With internal combustion engines. 25cc, gasoline-powered engines capable of going 20 MPH. Does that rule? Yes, yes it does.

Unfortunately for those to whom the zippy skates were destined, British customs seized them and thundered into a convulsion of bureacratic nannyjabber:

"The skates are so dangerous we are too worried about putting them on to test them"
