Treadway Wearable Transportation


Public transit is an efficient and eco-friendly way to get around cities like Cincy but it has its issues. The fact is, cars can adapt to multiple usage scenarios and that is what makes some people hold out... but is there a way to make it even easier to “Dump the Pump”?

Treadways are very simple: A shoe, motor, gearbox, circuit board, and batteries. The throttle, brakes and taillights are directed by a wireless handheld ninja controller. You can transition from walking to scooting, invisibly. Plug them in at work or at home and get a ten mile range at a fun but safe 10mph with the lithium ion battery packs.

With Treadways, you just click in and out of a wearable vehicle. Wear them to get you from Ludlow ave. back to school. Wear them to Findlay Market for some Goetta, bacon and *ahem* Amish Limburger. At 3 lbs per foot, you can wear them all day, everywhere you go and never have to leave them unattended- security is not an issue.

The downtown area is well connected but there are times when you must go way out of your way to get to your destination. What we are talking about is traversing the "Last Mile". In short, the "Last Mile" is the cracks in the system. It is the distance between your work and the bus, the local store and your home. It is any distance that is too far to walk to and too short to drive to.

Treadways are the glue to fill those cracks. They allow you to get from one place to another by adapting to all native forms of transit. You can ride a bike while wearing them, walk with them, even drive a car with them on. They enable efficient and total mobility.

Treadways are for active people. They give you more reasons to be outside. They are not a stand-there-and-let-the-device-take-over type of product. You need to be involved and you will probably be walking more than you are now. Because they are lower to the ground than rollerblades, skateboards and scooters, they are safer and easier to use.
