sorry if this allready has a topic.

What a joke.This is thing that is going to change the world???

I don't think so.How lazy do they think people are??..if I start seeing these things....can't wait till the first city council passes a bylaw against thyem.

ABSOLUTELY STUPID

Man...no sh*t...I don't get the hype over this thing at ALL. It's an f'ing scooter! And it's going to replace the car in cities? Sure would be nice to see that happen, but I can't see this thing replacing cars and public transportation when it's 20 below and icy on a mid-February morning in Chicago.

You must remember a fuss about the top secret.change the way the world works, project GINGER.About a year or so ago.iirc some computer honchos are/were involved.Maybe someone from Macintosh

Anyways,it was supposed to be something grand.Rumors were rampant.A water powered engine.An anti gravity device..
Instead it is this stupid..um..personal transportation device that looks like an old push lawnmower with the handle straight up.We are supposed to zip and zoom around the city on them

"its gonna replace cars"

ROTHFLMAO.I was wrong about teenage muntant ninja turtles,but I don't think I'm wrong here.This thing is utterly silly.

I could see where this would have a significant impact in low-income countries (Mexico, Egypt, Portugal, Albania, etc..)

In the United States...bah.

 

[shirleyrocks]

Yeah, I remember the news stories about this last year..."It will be bigger than the Internet!", "It will fundamentally alter civilization!", "Cities of the future will design themselves for it!".

And so now they unveil it...uh...it's a scooter.

With a top speed of 12 miles an hour? Christ I can skip faster than that! How pathetic. It's an expensive ass model of the scooters every kid has. What the hell were they thinkin? Agh...

 

[H Tower]

oh, you mean IT! What a waste

 

[PinkyGen]

Wait, aren't these types of things already here? Aren't they called bicycles?

Oh, and bikes are healthier, and sure is hell won't cost 1,000 bucks, and easier to upkeep too.

I had 1 of these when I was a kid.It was my Grandmother's hardwood floor polisher

 

[jc011]

Oh,....So that's the stupid weird looking design in the newspaper??? I was wondering what that was! :crazyeyes

 

[shirleyrocks]

Yeah, you wouldn't believe my idea--it's a home run. You ever hear of Eight-Minute Abs? Two million copies it sold last year. Two million, man. But not next year--my idea's gonna blow them outta the water. Get this:

Seven...Minute...Abs!

Think about it. You walk into a video store and you see Eight-Minute Abs and right next to it you see Seven-Minute Abs--which one you gonna spring for?

And we guarantee you'll get every bit as good a work-out. It's the company motto: 'If you ain't happy we'll send you the extra minute.'

Hmmmm, now that i read the article, why don't they put the useful technology onto other devices that are currently in use....like the balancing thing, they can be used on bikes. And it says it can go up stairs???? how does that work??

 

[floppa21]

I got a better idea than 7 minute abs. The CHAIRMASTER. Sit down, get up, sit down, get up.

I think I saw it on news earlier today. It was weird. I couldn't explain it, though. I was still pretty asleep.

A THOUSAND BUCKS FOR A @#%& SCOOTER!?!?!?

I guess there are suckers born every two seconds, these days....

 

[goodyhut]

We have these already. They are called mopeds . They are people drive when they loose thier driver's license because they get behind the wheel when they get smashed.

I feel terrifically sorry for anyone who was duped into financing this modern day Ford Edsel. It may be a good idea, but no one in their right minds would pay for it. I sure as sh!t won't. Where's the sex appeal?

Another cardinal rule of business: Products (in particular, more expensive items like cars, houses, electronics) sell for three reasons put together -economy, reliability, and sex appeal. Without any one of the above three, the product will fail.
