new take on easy transportation

,

Have you seen the magic wheel?

Part unicycle, part skateboard add up to an interesting concept on having transportation you can carry with you. And seems to be something a little more adult looking than a scooter. You stand on the (not clearly visible in this picture) foot rests on both sides of it. You push with one foot like a scooter/skateboard.

Pretty neat overall, but it looks a little difficult to "scoot" on. But this seems like something I'd like to have handy every once in awhile. Aw, who am I kidding, I neither skateboard, bike, nor scoot.

Doesn't look efficient. At least not as efficient as all the other new*, fun*, economical*, useful*, portable* magic-something products. But hey, it's trendy* and freedom*.

*"as seen on TV"
