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?

Was great fun when I first got one. After about a month it felt a bit slow, so I've now put a 50cc motor in it, got the ignition advanced and have a high performance carb. Great fun now, goes twice as fast. I'm sure I'm gonna break my kneck soon enough though. ;)

I love it - my blood is burning in my veins, screaming "I want one"! The price is smack in the face, though. There seems to be at least four different brands, with different pricetags and - presumably - different durability, out there.
