How long before someone combines that with a sybian?

Yes, this is a question from an interested consumer.

Honda has that already, but it’s not legal without a seatbelt and helmet.

I’m sure that the two models in the video represent the exact demographic that these devices are designed for.

Will they need to build a heavy-duty model so that all the 300lb fatties can go float around the mall on one?

Well, jeff, I’m sure spherical Americans everywhere appreciate your concern, but as it has no cupholders, the Jazzy will have to do.

@jeffinfremont—Careful, dude. At the rate I’m spreading, I’d probably need to strap one onto each leg myself.

“Wow, it can stand by itself.”

“Yes, watch this.”

“It’s easy to ride. Come on, I’ll show you how to do it.”

Seriously. It’s like this thing was scripted by Russ Meyer.

Omnidirectional movement! Mmmmmmmm!

Softcore unicyle fetish flicks are unusual enough, but add in the silent movie format and you’ve got a real collector’s item.

I can’t help but wish that Buster Keaton was still around to play with the omnithing, whatever it is.

@Strange—it’s a sign of the times that the latest inventions are to help people travel short distances indoors without using their legs.

NOTE TO SELF:  Must stick to my diet!

“Wow, it can stand by itself.”

I’ve got several chairs and stools right here that’ll do that.

Also. What happens if you sneeze?

Boomers and Gen X’ers alike were cheated out of their Jetsons gadget birthright, but they may finally get their due in their dotage with this uber-schnazzy mobility device. I can totally see these gizmos replacing the clunky Larks and Jazzy scooters today’s Olds must navigate through crowded malls and sidewalks.

However, Mrs. Polly makes an excellent point about the lack of cup-holders. I think that could be remedied with a telescoping caddy. Not sure how to address YAFB’s point about sneezing, though. Maybe some sort of auto-stabilization sensor would work.

Several years ago, a performance art/provocateur guy in San Francisco constructed a robotic wheelchair with a creepy zombie-like puppet creature (redundant, I know,) equipped with stereo speakers, that would roll up to well-dressed people standing outside gala benefits at the opera or whatever and loudly proclaim “God says give me 50 cents!

Somehow, this device reminds me of that.

Which reminds me of John McCain…

I think these would be perfect for an upscale Soho bar.

Not for the customers, of course
