These self-balancing e-skates from Shark Tank are $150 off

TL;DR: As of May 17, the Zuum Self-Balancing E-Skates are on sale for 30% off, so you can get them for $350 instead of $500.

A mix between old-school skates and new-school hoverboards, the Zuum Shoes definitely sparked interest during their appearance on Shark Tank. Shark Robert Herjavec even gave them a whirl himself. Despite not securing the funding they were looking for, the creators behind these self-balancing e-skates did manage to secure over $24,000 on Kickstarter and another $25,000 on IndieGoGo a few months later to get the product out into the world. And the rest is history.

Regularly $500 a pair, you can now get the Zuum Shoes on sale for just $350 for a limited time. That’s 30% in savings.

Made for both kids and adults, the Zuum Shoes allow you to skate around for up to an hour and a half on one charge. That should get you about three to five miles, depending on your weight, speed, slope, and terrain. The self-balancing design makes them easy and safe to ride for all ages —and helps you have more control. Just lean forward and you’ll move forward. Lean backwards and you’ll go backwards. Stopping, as Herjavec so gracefully demonstrated, is a bit more complicated and has a slight learning curve. But so do actual skates, right?

The Zuum Shoes are built with puncture-proof tires, so you can seamlessly stroll over concrete, wood floors, gravel, and more. They’re also waterproof, so don’t worry about zooming through a puddle.

There are no speed controls on the shoes themselves. Basically, the more you lean forward or backward, the faster they will go. They can reach speeds up to 8 mph and can handle up to 10 degree slopes.

If you want a pair, now's the time to bite. You can save $150 for a limited time and get yourself some Zuum Shoes for only $350.
