Leave it to a Jap. I am sure one of the reasons for this design is a built in fleshlight. These people are weird.

Might be good for people who only have trouble walking, seems easy to get onto
but what’s to keep you from falling off the back of the thing, plus it looks big,
expensive, and complicated- slomething else to fix!

@Trent
Leave it to a white Amerikkkan to make such a statement. At least they are coming up with ideas to help instead of hate.

Im sorry but the automobile was not invented by an American the Germans and French had working models before any Americans, nor penicillin ” Sir Alexander Fleming in 1928 found out that penicillin killed bacteria. It was discovered at St Mary’s Hospital, in England”, and the invention of radio was credited to Gugliegmo Marconi an Italian and Nikola Tesla a Serbian Immegrant. Before you spout retoric know what you are talking about.

I was hoping for something a little more Ironman.. I don’t want to get old and be on a go-cart..

This device will be completely useless for quadriplegics and paraplegics. We’d fall right off.

It seems very innovative, but it looks very flawed. The fact that there isn’t a back for one to rest on is a obvious huge flaw. Also, like some has said, a paraplegic couldn’t have any use for this type of chair. A person who’d own this wouldn’t be using this for everyday daily use. Maybe for around the house things, but nowhere outside the door. I’m sure they’ll come up with something in 2025 to make their first try seem really mediocre. It does look futuristic though hehe.

Too much negativity here people. Trent, go to bed

@white American.

Someone once told me that the ‘Moron’ is a necessary to measure mans intelligence against. Why don’t you list the destructive creations of white men, my racist friend? Hmmm, lets see:

Atomic Bomb
H.A.A.R.P
A.I.D.S (which was made in a lab)
Anthrax
Plutonium
Genocide (as an art of war)
Surveillance
9/11 plot
The Inquisition
Christianity
G.M.O’s
The Iron Maiden
The Electric Chair
Welfare
Crack Cocaine
Crystal Meth

Come on, stupid white American…if you are going to list the accomplishments of white men, put it all out there or shut your mouth.
