Urban PodUhmm... A car with two wheels... Do you think it'll ever catch on? 
Sometimes it takes a whole tank full of fuel before you think straight

I could see that little balance roller in front catching on something and sending you flying.

I can just see someone pulling over to stop and that wee wheel dropping into a storm drain grating.

Imagin seeing THAT get hit by a car. Even at 25 mph, I think you might have more than a few bruises.

Looks like a souped-up wheelchair. Maybe it will be.

I think it has hidden talents .... check out the wheelie bars at the back!   There is probably a market of sorts for for it ... disabled people, lazy people, traffic wardens etc. IMO, you have got to want to look a complete d!ck to want to be seen in public though.

Elf and Safety have probably already put pay to the fun factor tho mate... They’ll have made sure the only way you’d be able to the wheelie that thing is to croggy someone the size of Bernard Manning!

Reckon it would quite suit traffic wardens then...
