Yeah, this'll revolutionize the world, as if we didn't have enough Jerry Nadlers already.... The only plus I can see is for the infirm, and I wonder if this product is a good idea for old folks whose remaining muscles are on the shaky side; not to mention their reaction time. Ever see a person well past his prime attempting to drive a car? How is an old geezer (I hit 50 next year, so I'm not that far away) going to manuever this thing safely through city streets, as is shown here?

Not sure, but stay out of his way!

I just turned 52, I've got congestive heart failure, and just walking to our garden, a distance of a hundred yards or so, leaves me out of breath, and if the temperature is in the 70s or higher, drenched in sweat. A walk to our pond -- maybe a bit under a quarter mile -- is a major endeavor -- so major, that I haven't done it in quite some time.
For someone with a bad heart, who likes the outdoors, it would be fantastic. It could put the fun back into hunting and fishing.
