  • IT'S SO FUNNY TO SEE A LOT OF FOOLS GIVING IDEAS ON SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE NOT EVEN INVENTED YET, BEFORE TALKING TAKE SOME TECHNOLOGY CLASSES TO SEE IF YOU CAN EVEN BUILD A GOOD CAR ENGINE.....ford VS TOYOTA, THAT SAYS IT ALL, DON'T LEAVE STUPID COMMENTS IF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO BUILD ONE YET....SO COME ON PEOPLE.....BUILD YOURS AND LET OTHERS TAKE THE GLORY.....LOVE YOU JAPAN.

  • my first suggestion, get rid of those terrible hospital grey wheels, it ruins the modern look of it.

  • Youtube this: Galileo Mobility Capabilities - That seems like a far better conceptual idea than this thing. The only thing i could think when watching this was, "Are you kidding me? He's going to fall off and smack the back of his skull!"

  • Does the seat even have a back?

  • Terrible concept ! I've been in a chair for 22 years & have tried all sorts of chair's, but this one is just ridiculous :(

  • im sure theres other ways of wheelchairs

  • @scootersalltheway future has been here

  • it says futuristic???? how do they know what the future looks like?????

  • some people get obese due to medication or problems with their metabolism some people too fat to walk eat the same as a skinny person but have metabolism problems that turn every bite of food into fat

  • @seifer93 Some people don't get obese until after they become disabled.
