Amazing... Amazing... That's so amazingly amazing, I might have to steal it!

[sionnsar]

For those of us behind corporate firewalls, what is it?

[Red Badger]

I can see these things all over Wal-Mart now........................

[Scott from the Left Coast]

How will we ever get exercise again?

BUMP

[Lazamataz]

That is Teh Ghey.

[the invisib1e hand]

a pocket "Lisa" or whatever that stupid thing that was supposed to change the world a few years ago was called.

two problems: 1. a little software or chip glich and you're on your @ss; 2. they need to come up with a bigger seat for the fat@sses who are going to demand it as a welfare benefit.

[BunnySlippers]

Cannot see at the office ... but is it more than a unicycle?

[csvset]

Not Guilty !

It looks cool with hot chicks riding them.

I wonder if there's a weight limit.

[JRandomFreeper]

How utterly bizarre. For distances less than 4 miles, I'll stick with bipedal locomotion. And I doubt it has the range to do more than 4 miles.

Would love to have the tech for a robot though.

Good if you can’t walk for some reason.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

IMHO, it’s a great invention. There are millions of people who need mobility devices, for a variety of health reasons. This unicycle will suffice for many people, and is a lot more compact than an electric scooter.

[Uncle Miltie]

Wow. Un-f-ing-believable.

That’s a whole new revolution, right there.

Granny having trouble walking? Parapalegic back from the war? Long tiring unavoidable walks? City bus replacement?

Geez. Great stuff.

Probably some flies in that ointment, but they’ll get it worked out over time. Wow.

[tet68]

Let me know when they make one with a 327 engine.

[chickadee]

Watching the video, two questions/thoughts occurred to me. What would be the application for this? Those two women should have been walking. It wouldn’t be of much use to someone truly disabled.

The other thing was - wow, owning one of those will wear out your shoes much quicker than walking ever could.

[ottbmare]

I love walking, but I would also love one of these things. Probably best for getting around in huge corporate or government office buildings, warehouses, etc. Looks like it doesn’t go as fast as I could go at a brisk walk, or go up and down stairs, or operate on rough or dirty ground. Also I wonder what the weight limit is; I weigh 135. Still—!

P.S. The blonde had really better cut her broken-off ends and rethink the bleach thing.

My wife has CP and is currently transitioning from forearm crutches to a wheelchair. She has been on crutches for over 50 years. She saw this the other day and wondered if it could work for her. Ya never know ...

[righttackle44]

I have three questions: (1) Does it come with a power supply alarm so that it will warn you so you don’t fall over with your bag of groceries right in front of the oncoming light rail? (2) Does it come with a parachute ejection system in case you crash? (3) Does it come with heavy duty super-size Michelle Obama seat?

[CharlesWayneCT]

OK, I still think you have to be pretty lazy for one of those.

I also got a real sexual vibe there from the two girls. Like the “personal mobility vehicle” was a great pickup aide, like a sports car, for the lesbian set.

If these things get very popular the company will have to make them with larger and larger seats and perhaps offer periodic seat upgrades, or widegrades.
