I like the idea of riding around in a mall on one, go inside a store on one. Pretty cool. :bigthup

It never ceases to amaze me at the capacity for ingenuity and creativity that some folks have.

No, I would not ride one unless it was a gift. (Yeah, I know....fat chance)

Looks slow and I don't see it taking sharp bends (swerving is the best way to avoid obstacles on a bike) while very hard braking (about 1G) may take its toll on your genitals.

He based the bike on a cartoon that his daughter is reading if I picked that up right and indeed, it may have been this very cartoon Esper. His bike looks nearly identical but don't believe it could go that fast or do thise acrobatics. lolol
