In southeastern Pennsylvania, a few thousand pairs of skates have been sold to Amish in recent years, said Will Marion, sales manager for the Roller Derby Skate Corporation in Atglen, which distributes to the Intercourse area.
In-line skates are permissible, Mr. Stoltzfus said, because they are seen as a newer version of roller skates, a cousin of the ice skate and an improvement over the leg-powered scooter -- all long used by the Amish.
Motorized vehicles and bicycles are prohibited, in part because of concerns that they could take residents too far from the community.
