I'd give it a whirl. I wonder if there is an all-terrain model . . . so I could get back to hiking again! Seriously, I think it looks like a great innovation with great possibilities.

Now, there's an idea! None of this self-toileting nonsense. 8-). Have to wear a lap blanket though.

Looks pretty cool, but I'd need a seatbelt in order to stay on. Yep, that was my first thought, LOL! :D

See my Avatar! When kids were toddlers and I wasn't yet DXed and far from being in a chair, they called handicapped symbol "Potty-man".

I’d have to wait until they come up with a “plus size” model. In any case, it looks like loads of fun.

That is neat!!!!! But if I took that to Disney World as my wh/ch I would still be exhausted because I can't lean back and relax, put my feet on the foot rest, etc. And I need my basket! Plus it would get stolen.But would be nice for strolling along the river, zoo.

I googled it and found another video. (it's a youtube link)

This video showed some people playing around with the U3-X at what looks like a hotel convention room. There's some actual audio in the video and it sounds like the U3-X is loud.

It looks like you cant exactly use the U3-x as a wheelchair, because I saw people having to use their feet to change directions. I just dont see someone who cant move using this thing. It's still cool, but I'm guessing it's not practical for a handicapped person to use it.

The way I feel right now, I doubt I'd be able to use something like this, and I can walk. (right now I have deep full body numbness, whole body feels like it's in a spasticity attack, especially my back, and I'm dizzy and feel like I'm going to fall over while just sitting here)

I think this thing would make me even more dizzy. I still think it's cool tho. It'd be cool if they could adapt the technology they used for practical use in the handicap world.

If only they could adapt the technology they used for practical use in the handicap world.

This is what I'm hoping will happen.. :cool:

Thanks Erin.
