These were on the BBC's entertainment^Wfactual show Top Gear last year.
Also ... does anybody remember the Channel 4 drama "Cold Lazarus"? One of the two scripts Dennis Potter completed while terminally unwell? Some of the researchers shown in Cold Lazarus were riding about in their lab in vehicles superficially much like these -- right down to the vehicle reconfiguring itself to change the seat pitch etc for differing speed-based stability requirements.
Who's going to be first to turn it into a Davros wagon for the Home Secretary. I mean if we're going to be ruled by power-mad dangerous lunatics, they should at least look like power-mad dangerous lunatics.

Saw this on Top Gear a month ago and wondered whether it would actually be produced.
Wouldn't a nice little bmx be a little more eco-friendly and look a little less silly.

Wrong audience #

This chair seems to be built for thin asian women, but the target audience is surely the overweight western security guard.
Walking: It's how thin people stay thin.

Has nearly all the advantages of walking, except the possibility of any form of exercise. Ideal.
