Now this is a pretty neat invention. I am definitely going to try this out when I am in New Zealand.

Looks pretty slick.

Wonder if it qualifies for carry-on on airlines.

Though I'd still have to lose some weight.

It only weighs 21 lbs. so there should not be any problem taking or shipping in a bag with any airline.

not sure that I would feel comfortable with my hands by my butt.

An easy way to get around with it only taking 15 seconds to fold up and carry, and it only weighs 22 lbs.

In the US they range from $5350-$7200, UK is $4399 -4599.

That thing looks uncomfortable beyond fathom!

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt though!

Not sure about riding that thing close to moving automobiles even as I'd be afraid of tipping over and getting my cranium crushed by a tire!

Dont do it Lon. You will kill yourself. Stick to the shuffleboard.
