Rollwalk eRW3 Pro review: electric skates that provide speed and stability for all [Video]
For my latest experiment into the ever growing world of all-electric micro mobility, I got the chance to test out the eRW3 Pro skates from Rollwalk. These slip on eSkates are quick, portable, and versatile – perfect to zoom around on and share with friends and family. That said, I hit a few snags with them along the way which I dig into more below. Here are my thoughts.
Rollwalk began as an idea all the way back in 2007, when the company’s founder fed his passion for electronic product design while addressing his own personal struggles in his daily commute. After trying out several short-distance electric mobility devices, he noticed a key factor lacking – portability.
At the end of 2018, Rollwalk’s founder quit his job and formed a creative research team alongside a group of like-minded partners. Following over four years of design research, Rollwalk finally launched’s first product – the eRW2.
Today, Rollwalk exists as developer of all-electric skates you can carry around in a backpack that are easy to pull out, strap in, and zoom around on. Of its two current product offerings, I got a chance to test out the newer eRW3 Pro skates, offering top tier specs and accessories. Check them out.
Rollwalk eRW3 Pro electric skate specs and review
Upon first glance at these skates, you’ll notice they’re more like supplemental electric shoes than some of the blades I’ve reviewed in the past, and that’s how Rollwalk describes these skates. They are modular in the sense that they strap onto your own shoes, no matter what you’re wearing (although you’d probably want to avoid sandals to be safe).
In this sense, the eRW3 Pros cater to any shoe size up to 13, so owners have more freedom to let others strap in and take a cruise for themselves. The skates are also agnostic, so when you step in, you can put either one on either foot, whatever you’re feeling that day.
Here are the specs of the skates I tested:
- Payload Capacity: 220 lbs
- Top Speed: 20 mph
- Range: 15.5 miles
- Slope: 20°
- Charge Time: 100% in 1 hour
- Torque: 3.5 Nm (max)
- Nominal Power: 300 watts (x2)
- Max Power: 400 watts (x2)
- Battery Type: Samsung 18650
- Battery Capacity: 3.5Ah per skate
- Charge Rate: 88.2W (3A)
- Wheel Size: 75A 77mm
- Shoe Compatibility: 240-310mm (size 6-13)
As you’ll see in my full video review below, Rollwalk’s electric skates are easy to get in and out out, while still providing stability to your feet and ankles while approaching the top speeds mentioned above. The eRW3 Pro package especially comes with an impressive amount of accessories seen in the image above, including safety pads and bags to carry everything around in.
I did come across a couple issues with the wheels while testing, but I don’t want to spoil anything in the video, so be sure to check that out below. Rollwalk eRW3 Pro skates currently sell for $529, but you can purchase through the following link for $40 off your purchase. You can also use promo code: IN9AAQCXSV.

Zevtron, ParkMobile, and Athena Partners Strategy Group are together supporting charging site owners and EV drivers affected by Shell Recharge’s shutdown of its EV charger software.
Shell Recharge is discontinuing its Shell Sky software in third-party commercial EV chargers in the US and Canada. It will service third-party commercial fleet EV chargers until April 30; after that, it’s lights out, leaving hundreds of EV charging stations across the US inoperable.
Zevtron, ParkMobile, and Athena Partners Strategy Group is deploying Zevtron’s white-label EV charging software across the former Shell Recharge network to restore full operational capacity to these chargers.
“Shell’s exit has left hundreds of chargers effectively stranded,” said Chris Mckenty, SVP of sales & marketing at Zevtron. “Our goal is to rapidly restore these stations to full functionality while enhancing their capabilities with flexible branding, seamless payment options, and improved management tools.”
ParkMobile will extend its capabilities to process EV charging sessions so users can both park and charge. “Integrating EV charging parking sessions into ParkMobile simplifies access for millions of drivers who already rely on our platform,” said Andy Harman, vice president of sales at ParkMobile.
Athena Partners Strategy Group will work closely with cities, businesses, and property owners to deploy the new solution efficiently. “We see this as a major opportunity to not only restore EV charging infrastructure but also improve it for the long term,” said Nick Stanton, managing partner of Athena Partners Strategy Group.
The partnership says it’s a “turnkey solution to ensure uninterrupted service, enhanced user experience, and improved revenue potential.”

Volkswagen ID.4 breaks into the top 5 best-selling EVs in the US after sales surged in January
The Volkswagen ID.4 was the third best-selling EV in the US last month, trailing only the Tesla Model Y and Model 3. Volkswagen’s electric SUV made a comeback after sales surged over 650% in January.
Volkswagen ID.4 was the third best-selling EV in January
Although ID.4 sales fell by 55% last year after Volkswagen halted production and deliveries in September due to a recall over faulty door handles, the EV made a triumphant return in 2025.
Volkswagen sold 4,979 ID.4’s in the US last month, up 653% from January 2024. To put it in perspective, VW only sold 646 ID.4 models in the fourth quarter and just over 17,000 in 2024. At this rate, ID.4 sales are on pace to reach nearly 60,000 by the end of 2025.
According to Cox Automotive’s latest EV Market Monitor report, the ID.4 was the third best-selling EV in the US last month, behind the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.
The Honda Prologue and Tesla Cybertruck rounded out the top five. Combined, the top five selling EV models accounted for 54% of total sales in the US last month.
| Rank | Model |
| 1. | Tesla Model Y |
| 2. | Tesla Model 3 |
| 3. | Volkswagen ID.4 |
| 4. | Tesla Cybertruck |
| 5. | Honda Prologue |
Over 102,200 electric vehicles were sold in the US in January, up nearly 30% from January 2024. Although sales were down from the record 132,392 sold in December 2024, a drop was expected over typical seasonal trends.
Tesla doesn’t provide a breakdown of US sales, so we will not know exact sales numbers until registration data is released.
Honda’s electric SUV continues to take the market by storm, with 3,744 Prologues sold in January. After delivering the first models last March, the Honda Prologue became the seventh best-selling EV in the US last year, with over 33,000 models sold.
Volkswagen announced the ID.4 was back on sale last month, with the “aim of re-instating the ID.4 to its prior position as one of the best-selling electric vehicles in the US and Canada.” It looks like it’s happening quicker than expected.
The new entry-level 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 RWD Pro model starts at $45,095, while the AWD Pro costs $48,995. Both are powered by an 82 kWh battery. Volkswagen said the 62 kWh battery will be available later this year. The larger battery provides an EPA-estimated range of up to 291 miles.
VW’s base models feature a gloss black grille, black roof rails, and a 12.9″ infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. The AWD version has 20″ wheels, a heated windshield, and a tow hitch.
The ID.4 Pro S RWD starts at $50,195, and the AWD model has a sticker price of $54,095. It gets an added illuminated VW logo at the front and rear, premium LED projector headlights, a panoramic fixed glass roof, power tailgate, and more.
Volkswagen’s range-topping 2025 ID.4 Pro S Plus is only available in AWD and starts at $57,295. The Plus trim features 21-inch wheels, added exterior design elements, heated rear seats, a premium Harman Kardon audio system, and an Area View (an overhead view camera).
Both electric SUVs feature some of the biggest discounts on the market right now. To make room for 2025 models, VW is offering close-out prices on the 2024 ID.4, with leases starting as low as $189 per month. However, the Honda Prologue is hard to pass up, starting at just $209 per month. Ready to check them out for yourself?
