That is pretty cool.
But I’m afraid a sensor failure could lead to my face becoming the emergency brake :open_mouth:

Those things better have a 400 pound weight limit for all the fattys that rather ride than walk.

I can see this as a good thing for folks with disabilities.

Notice the 80 lb twiggies riding it?
I’d crush the freaker in an instant! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

What is this world coming to?

For those of with health problems which will over time increase mobility problems ingenreal both that and the following look quite promising.

Pretty cool technology. It would be great for people with mobility problems – IF they can afford it.

#12

Might be a little expensive to change the tire.

Japan??? JAPAN ??? HERESY YOU SPEAK! Sir… HERESY!!! That is a 1957 Cyclops II manufactured by the good ITALIAN folks at Cyclops SpA.

Built in Northern Italy out of recycled Martini road signs, Winner of the 1957 Monte Carlo Rally Winner of the 1958 Monoco Grand Prix The only nameplate that struck genuine fear into the heart of Sr. Enzo Ferrari and Dr. Porsche Japanese, pah!

Ahhh, they don’t make 'em like they used to. I should have pedals to assist it up the hills.

I wouldn’t want to hit a squirrel with one of these, or with a Smart Car for that matter.

#18

I had a Smart Car blow by me going up the Saluda grade on I-26. I was doing about 70mph.
I doubt it was stock, as most small cars can’t maintain the 65mph speed limit.
