Family mocked after being seen wheeling at airport like Wall-E in ‘hovershoes’

This is a bizarre moment a family casually strolling around an airport with their "hovershoes" as viewers joked they are giving a "Wall-E" vibe.

The family of five was spotted wearing the latest "travel gadget" – the Ninebot Electric Roller Skates Hovershoes designed by tech company Segway – at an US airport as stunned travellers watched on.

Flight attendant Jamie found the moment hilarious and shared it on TikTok, sparking discussions on the two-wheeled invention.

In the video, the family members are seen standing on the hoverboard-like shoes outside a Starbucks coffee shop and one of them drifts her way to the nearby bin to throw away her coffee cup.

In the subsequent clip, the family members are seen tilting forward and backward while trying to balance themselves on the "shoes".

When they are about to head to their boarding gate, Jamie says they just "all wheeled away casually".

One passing-by woman stops and stares at the strange looking gadget under their shoes.

Some viewers found the £369 walking accessories "awesome" and useful especially when strolling through an airport.

"That looks fun! I would so use these in an airport, especially in Dallas or Los Angeles," one wrote and a second commented: "I could have used these when I had to run 20 gates because our plane was about to take off."

But others blasted them for being lazy, as one joked: "Oh because walking is so tiring these days."

Another added: "This is giving me Wall-E vibes. Gen Z is really out of control."

A third said they felt "embarrassed for them" for zooming around while a fourth said the gadget is just "an accident waiting to happen".

Jamie also chimed in in the comments: "I thought they were a startup thing but I found them on Amazon for $500 (£369) sold by Segway. I wasn't hating them, just found it funny."
