A mobility device comprising a motorized shoe to be worn by a user to increase the speed of walking. The motorized shoe has a plurality of wheels, with at least one wheel driven by an electric motor through a geartrain. On onboard controller gathers data from at least one of an inertial measurement unit, an ultrasonic sensor, and a vision system to generate a command speed to the electric motor. A user wearing a pair of the mobility devices, one on each foot, is able to walk with a normal gait, but at an increased speed.
