Inline skates are a type of roller skate with two to five wheels arranged in a single line. If a brake is present, it is positioned on the rear end of the skate.

Not to be confused with quad skates, which have wheels arranged in a 2 by 2 layout (and featuring toe stop brakes), inline skates always have their wheels in a single line.
