Wheelman

The Wheelman is a unique piece of kit that combines the design and principles of most other board sports.
Manoeuvring is done by twisting your feet placed inside the two wheels at low speeds, or by shifting your weight, at high higher speeds.
the wheelman has a top speed of 20mph and works over a 30 mile range, and one tank of fuel .

That's an hour an a half flat out!

Throttle control is through the usual hand-held levers and cable, but this ain't no usual machine.

"Why is it pointless?"

You could get yourself a moped instead, or even a normal skateboard.

"Why is it cool?"

How cool would you think it was if you saw someone cruising along the beach at 20mph with their feet wedged inside this machine?

Flying cars aren't quite reality just yet, and it totally bums me out. This makes me feel a bit better though.

Sometimes you don't need something completely new to become a genius inventor, you just need two already existing ideas and to be a little bit mental. Like a motorized scooter and a cooler box.

Not the usual sort of thing for this site, but when we saw a gadget site selling old Russian fighter planes, we just had to take a look.

Can't resist these muscle wagons. Another Hi-Tech James Bond style vehicle. This the real thing with all bells and whistles.
