Way cool. For those of us experienced with Power Mobility we would find having this technology available would be very good; having it available for everyone would be better . If it had a cargo area to transport groceries and other local items ( briefcases etc) it would be perfect
@toyotaprius79 'Fraid I'm not. The beige 1996 to 2001 Camry is the worst car in the world for that very reason. Other models aren't much better. I barely notice Nissans.
@WizBeef That could hold truth. I'd pick Mercedes for that title and reasoning though. Anyone wonder with the three point star is always HUGE on all their vehicles?
@barricadefan I ain't question if the 'vehicle' is waterproof. How does one travel in the rain without getting soaked? Surely they do not expect us to hold an umbrella and wear a raincoat.
Nice concept, but just not practical. Even a bike is a lot better....
Is this contraption really supposed to be safer or more economical than a bicycle? It doesn't appear to have any kind of a storage compartment and it can only carry one person. I suppose it's for office workers who don't want to get sweaty when riding a bike, and who on the other hand cannot wake up in time or be otherwise organized.
This sort of stuff scares the crap out of me. I see massive traffic jams of fat people stuffed into these things 18 hours a day. If you need a wheel chair these are amazing, but the rest of us could probibly use the walk.
Going to get fat. 1st we are allready the most over weight country, so shut up you lose. Everyone is freaking out like driving this thing will be a law or something. Also It do stairs so you are going to have to get off of it. People should celebrate the advancment made through thech.
evryone says this will make america lazy....i dont know about you, but starbucks is 2.5 miles away.....sometimes i walk...but i know, no matter how much coke or crack one ingests, they arent running 20mph.....just sayin
as cool as this seems, i dont like it. people are already too lazy as it is. we've all seen walle where they are all fat and dont know how to walk due to being stuck in a chair their whole life. it seems that being lazy is the future. its about time more people stopped being so lazy using the car and did some walking..........this is more ideal for oap's and the disabled
so there saying there wanting everyone to go around and being more helpless then we already are??? i sware everone is going to evolve to have to use this crap just to live.. people..are going to end up so weak without technology i can see it now..
Hi, yes I have a wheel chair, but not like this one. I have a manual that I use, because I can move both arms. even though I'm paralised from the breast down. I have no handgrips to speak of & I'm on a fixed income. Thanks for inquiring. Namaste', Greg
having read some of the comments below: 1. this is a solution that is environmentally and personally a much healthier choice than a car, cars have already made people fat, so lay off this way cool idea, 2. people will use this like a car is already used for short trips 3. at under 3000 us $, juiced up at 50 kmh, this is a civilised, healthy solution for urban transport - i want one
Who is going to buy this? I mean seriously walk people. Wheelchair users go for it! That would be awsome just to muck around with but using it as an actual mode of transport? No chance. Everyone needs to walk for the excersise. Probably stating the obvious here... Just realised that haha
If cops asks you license when you drive it, just say that it's a wheelchair from the future I don't need a license XD and then go away with 35km/h and their like ..wheelchair wtf?
Well don't park it then :D:D just go everywhere with it and don't go to medieval places where that can't get :D Well then you come too fat to fit in if you don't ever get up :l that's a problem
Hmm it's going in production in 2010 and going to be sold for 2000 pounds... not that bad actually, since a lot of electric wheelchairs cost that much.
But then you need to get someone to open the door for you when you reach the cafe to get in there and if you drive this to somewhere say McD or KFC... you will look so cool when you are in a queue queing for food and also pissing all other ppl off for standing in the queue while you are sitting comfortability in the queue... kakkakakakakaka...
I already have one of these cause my uncle is an employee there and these things actually go up to 30 mph not 20. You can also hook your laptop up to them and get internet from it. It is so sweet. My dad paid my uncle $4,000 for it. That's just a little more than it will cost when it premieres in the US next year.
do they make one for fat people? that's a great question because this invetion will make everyone fat like how everyone in that movie walle turned out fat...
um its already 2011 and 2012 nearly here. Where are they?
