There was a vid with a guy using these posted a little while back - seriously awesome bit of kit!

Sorry if this is old, but its not really a new idea. The Poweriser is the newest model with more obvious retail appeal.

I think last time it was posted it was just a random video, no actual details (I may be wrong), but its definitely the same thing.

I want some...

The _only_ way I would watch another video like that is if there were hot chicks naked with large boucning tittehs.

Someone will have a whinge and get them banned.

yeah. imagine if the car was invented nowadays. or utensils. or matches. they'd never make it to market, or if they did they'd be banned in a flash/stab/driverover

Hah, those look awesome. No doubt though some moron will do the whole "Somebody think of the children" act and get them banned.

pretty sure this is at least the third time these have been posted <3

Looks like a good way to clean someone up when you run into them, and unlike a bike you can't build brakes into it.
