AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / September 26, 2024 / Shift Robotics, the creators of the original Moonwalkers, announces the launch of Moonwalkers Aero, built for those who see every step as an adventure. Moonwalkers and Moonwalkers Aero let you explore more, experience more, and have fun with every stride. In a world that's vibrant and ever-changing, Moonwalkers allow you to set your pace effortlessly, helping you embrace each journey with energy and ease.

After launching with great fanfare and success at CES, Moonwalkers quickly captured the excitement of customers.

"We're incredibly excited about the launch of Moonwalkers Aero-it's the same steps, but with more freedom, personalization, a quieter experience, and most importantly, more fun," said Xunjie Zhang, CEO and founder of Shift Robotics. "At the core of our design and innovation is a simple belief: life moves fast, but that doesn't mean it should be a blur. Moonwalkers Aero is about giving people the freedom to slow down and savor the moments that matter. Whether it's exploring your city with fresh eyes, taking that extra stroll to a favorite lunch spot, or simply reclaiming those lost pockets of time-Moonwalkers Aero helps you embrace a slower, more intentional lifestyle. With Moonwalkers, you choose your pace, and we make sure the journey is one worth taking."
The Next Gen Moonwalkers: Moonwalkers Aero
Moonwalkers Aero is engineered to keep you moving smoothly at a top speed of 7.0 mph, with a range of up to 7 miles on a single charge. Weighing just 4.3 pounds, these ultra-light shoes charge to 80% in only 30 minutes, so you're quickly back on the move. Designed for comfort and versatility, Moonwalkers Aero accommodates shoe sizes from Men's 7-12 and Women's 7-13, allowing everyone to glide through the city with ease.
Substantially Lighter, Effortlessly Faster
Each Moonwalkers Aero is approximately one pound lighter than the previous generation with nearly a 20% reduction in weight, making every step feel effortless. This improvement was achieved by simplifying the drivetrain from 8 driving wheels to 4, without sacrificing structural integrity. The powertrain has also been upgraded using sports car-grade Magnesium Alloy to replace Aluminum, delivering superior strength and efficiency while keeping the ride smooth and light.
Significantly Quieter, Seamlessly Smoother
Moonwalkers Aero is significantly quieter. With a 15dB reduction in sound, it operates 30 times quieter than the previous generation, bringing noise levels down from 75dB to a near-whisper at just 60dB. This means you can glide through the city with minimal distraction, allowing you to focus on your surroundings and enjoy every step of your adventure in peace.
Built for Customization and Personalization
With Moonwalkers Aero, personalization goes beyond just looks. Cosmetic parts, straps, and even wheels are easily serviceable and replaceable by the user, allowing you to refresh or upgrade your Moonwalkers Aero anytime.
More Fun with ShiftOS 3: Personalized to Your Pace
ShiftOS 3 introduces a major upgrade that enhances your walking experience, making every step smoother and more intuitive. Through the Shift App, an interactive tutorial analyzes your gait and gives you real-time feedback, helping you master Moonwalkers from beginner to expert. With quicker acceleration, smoother turns, and the ability to cruise at any speed with just a casual stroll, you'll find your perfect pace with ease.

Inspired by F1 cars, this new side profile includes air intakes that increase airflow through the brushless DC motor, improving cooling and enhancing performance.
