now you are thinking....how can I modify that with old style V8????:cool:
Holy craparoney - another way for Americans (as well as some Brits:o) to ignore walking for some exercise and just get a bit plumper.
Regardless it is a neat gadget and will probably lead to more useful "gadgets".
Oh yeah, I can see myself riding that one. I have enough trouble not falling off of my computer chair, that thing looks downright dangerous! It might be able to stand up without falling over, but I can't. :o:LOL:
I have a friend who was riding one of those Segways , it went in a hole and he took a header and broke his foot. Like IC2 said, it isn't like we need more excuses not to get some excercise as it is.
Don
I wonder how it will cope when 30 stone bubba gets on it :eek:
I would need a place to put my beer!
Easy..must have room somewhere for a stereo system..just chuck a cd in it,of a healthy v8 rumbling..:D that would psyche out a few people,hearing that come up the ramp,or stair well...:DQuote:

Next of course will be demands that medicare/government pay for one like folks do now with those electric scooters.:HMMM:
Well, I suppose that would include me....except mine came from the VA and not Social Security.... Last summer, for the first time in about 15 years I was actually able to go to a car show and be able to get around and see more then the first 3 cars inside the gate!!!!! Thanks taxpayers, I suppose I should feel guilty now?????:o:o:LOL::LOL::LOL:Quote:

Quite clever. While watching that, a number of things ran through my head: Those girls are sure skinny (and obviously lightweight); I wonder how that thing would handle a fata$$ like me?; me on one of those things would look like an elephant riding a unicycle; wouldn't that be great for marginally limited folks?; and a lot of other mundane stuff. Roadster32 is thinking on the same lines as me, since I weigh in the mid-twenties. At this time, when I want to go anywhere like a car show, I carry a "Walkstool" with me, and when my leg gets to bothering enough, or my back goes on strike from trying to compensate for the leg, I just unfold the Walkstool and sit; if I go with someone, they just go on ahead, and pick me up on the way back, so, like Dave S, I miss a bit of stuff. I'm thinking more and more, that having a mobility "device" would be kind of nice.
It's just a fifty year newer Honda "Kick and Go"!
Wellllllllll, no place for the beer!:whacked:
Dave the first thing I thought of was that would be great for a car show! After the last show i went to, I was fading fast after walking around for 3 hours, it would have been nice to have a motor scooter, or one of these to cruise around a little more! This little thing looks fairly portable. Wonder what the cruising range and power limits are?Quote:

I don't see myself riding one not only a weight problem but with my big feet I wouldn't have any toes left from dragging them. look like a gorilla ridding a tricycle.
