Would you buy one of these?
« on: Mon, 05 August 2013, 22:02:19 »
This seems a bit expensive for something that isn't even motorized!

$600? Haha, no way, especially not for cheap plastic rear tires.  If Travis Pastrana cap do a flip on a cheap trike, then a cheap trike is good enough for me.

No.

Although an adult scooter would come in handy from time to time.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Ohhhh god, sounds fun!
However, like all chubby guys like me, velocity = bumps + bruises + broken bones
And I wouldn't be brave enough to use it in public - that's for sure!
