how fast will these roller skis go? are they the same as the roller skates just longer?

The wheels are fatter and there's one in the front and one in the back, so with friction I'd say not as fast as roller skates. The speed is about the same as leisurely cross country skiing. We really like them as that is what we were looking for. A faster option would be the skate skiing style.

Contrary to skating roller skis, these ones, the classical, are not similar to roller skates and would not go as fast as the skate ones.

Hi Barbara, I don't know about wheels but I replaced my skis with tennis balls that I bought from the very friendly, helpful seller from whom I purchased it. They have worked well for me so far. Dianne (dianneshubin@verizon.net)

I use these on a paved bike trail and they are OK. The wheels do not roll by themselves very well, I think it is something with low quality bearings, so it is difficult to keep up with others. If there are any little rocks or stuff on the trail it is impossible to roll, I have to "walk" past the obstacles. I prefer roller blades for outdoors use. I do not have these problems when I use my roller blades.

They are great. My 5 year old is a level 4 ice skater. She skates faster and further than her older brothers. I take her to the University to skate in the summer where the sidewalks are immaculate. Watch for rocks and wood chips. Universities are well maintained so I don't have to worry about that. There is no indoor rink here so I had to go outdoor wheels. Hope that helps. Cherrie

They both say they have 30 rollers and the exact same sizes. So what is the difference?

Dear client, the price is for one pair of roller ski (right and left roller ski) with bindings and wheels. Our roller skis are good quality products. They are used by French National Ski Federation. I hope that you will buy them. Have a nice day. Best regards. Darina

Hi, thanks for the message. Since these are a little bigger you may sense a little faster speed. Also, something to consider is the contact patch. Are these wheels wider or narrower than the wheels that come on Penny boards? I cannot speak to this. Finally, the hardness may be a little different as well. Let me know how else I can help.Thanks!

Seems a little fast to me. Mine lasted a good 4 years and that was with a fair amount of abuse going sideways on a slope. The replacements are cheap though and seem to be as good as original. Maybe not the best wheels especially in terms of traction,but easy and cheap to replace.

They are exactly the same size as the original spin and mop heads. The only difference is the the yarn on the head is not as thick, slightly different. I have not used this mop head yet so I can not comment on whether it works the same as the original spin and mop head. Be sure you are buying for the right product, there are 2 different mop and spins. One shows the bucket with a foot petal, the original mop and spin does not. Size is 6 inches across and weight exactly the same as original mop and spin. Hope this helps!

As fast as their feet grow, I would go with an 11 or maybe even a 12. Remember, this is a training skate with a double blade. I was surprised when I got it that it was not a normal ice skate. I returned it and bought my daughter regular skates...she took to them very quickly and never needed to use this "training wheel" skate.

Bought for my Grandson and he has had no issues with them but I hope he is not as hard on them as Roller Derby.

I think they are both but i only use indoors. They are for beginners and by no means a "Speed" skate. The wheels are very wide and have a strong grip on them. I think they would be better for outdoor. I agree that they are hard to skate indoors with. very comfortable on your feet though.

They might seem a little weird from another person's perspective. But don't think you'll have any problem skating at all. You might be able to make those turns quicker on those powerslides

These are straight generic plain wheels. No special formulas have gone into the urithane. You can't compare them to very specific wheels because, odd are, if the person wants a very specific wheel, they won't get plain ol' generic ones. These are big, heavy, and bouncy. They roll over sticks but they don't go fast or slide well. Whatever you've read that is the difference physically (size and duro) is different. As far as ride, o-tang will be smoother, respond better, and last longer because they're name means it. But, if you're just after a cheap wheel, these do just fine.

Yes...good resistance. Smaller rollers equal more resistance. If you wantc adjustable resistance I would get higher end rollers. Unless your an elite rider these probably provide enough.

I wuld say it is basically the same scate only one has 70 mm wheels (slower and in uneven roads more unconfortable and the other one has 75mm wheels (faster but better over cracks)

Not that I am aware of. These wheels are already very small, 64mm with ABEC 5 berrings, so that keeps the speed down. The smaller the wheel size the slower they will go, but they will have a VERY bumpy ride as the bigger the wheels the smoother the ride. Hope this helps.
