    Crudely gaffer taped the battery pack for these under my deck, but at 2m they wrap around the trucks well while the 3M stickyback holds the rest on neatly.

    Nice, haven't found time to stick mine below the board.

    Andy tried the valve cap lights you can get for bikes, but it's not quite as good on the smaller diameter wheels, and you're likely to catch them on something.

    Thanks for saving us some money by testing them!

    Tried to get mine under the board and the battery pack would hold. But the 3M tape on the strips was not really sticking to the black paint of the Bamboo GT. With a little wet road and some dirt it got loose on some parts. Have taken it off to avoid it getting completely loose and wrapping around a wheel.

    Try some heavy duty strips, like the no more nails ones, or the 3M command strips





    The 3M ones are good with velcro, I use them all over the house. Coat hooks, mounting power strips to walls etc.

    These are awesome.....zo awesome I doubt they will become reality in the next 2 years. Maybe a first version with a small screen but nothing close to a comfortable sneaker with full display and a lasting battery. Or it this too much of a glass half full view?

    Well....still we have seen many projects fail or deliver but not at the quality or performance level as showcased. If they can pull it off this will create a huge wave of new shoe wear and other products to be produced.

    What do you think of this:
