Hi everyone!
I am not sure a new thread was the way to go, sorry if not, but I am curious if anyone knows where to buy the smaller motorized off-ice spinners? I see one seller on ebay and I have reached out there as well, but curious if anyone here knows of a seller? Slim pickens' on the web, from what I have found. Thanks for any suggestions!

I guess the key word is "motorized." You got me very curious and I started searching but came up empty-handed as far as a seller is concerned.

Found demos on YouTube - the first one is really cool. Commenters asked where it could be purchased but there was no response:

This one is is being used by the St. Paul FSC:

I suggest calling the St Paul FSC and asking where they purchased their spinner; I see they advertise its use on their summer camp website: https://www.stpaulfsc.org/trainingcamps

Let us know how it goes. I have the feeling that since there are so few, they are very expensive.

HA! I've never seen this. I think I would throw up! In the first link I noticed they were sometimes using weights. How do you guys feel about that? Since I started using weights in my hands, my spins have improved greatly. Do you guys ever do that? I never saw anyone else ever do this. Also, Fenstr, do you have a regular spinner? I have one at home to help with my spins. The funny thing is that my son does not ice skate, but he loves spinning on the spinner. So when I finally took him ice skating it was hysterical, he could spin on one foot over 9 rotations!!! Solid and fast!!! So funny because he's not an ice skater!!! But now he can also do many rotations on one foot on his inline skates. I got the spinner for me, but it's so much fun, everyone loves it. My son calls it the "human hamster wheel."

Maybe you're searching the wrong thing? The videos I've watched describe them as electric spinners, and you describe it as motorized, so maybe change the words that you are searching with? Good luck!
