Magic Wheel is like a broken bike skateboard thing

I…don’t get it. That doesn’t matter, though, because I bet we’ll start seeing these things all over the place.
It’s called the “Magic Wheel” and it appears to basically be a bike wheel with a smaller rotating caster wheel attached to it. The top of the bike wheel features a seat of some type that looks like it wedges right into your ass. Now that’s magic.
The thing itself costs around $250, plus almost $325 shipping from Singapore. What?! I take back what I said about seeing these things all over the place. That’s insane. Hit the jump for a video.
this reminds me of the South Park episode - where Mr. Garrison invents the gyroscopic mono-wheel, “IT,” to screw over the airline companies. I know this contraption is different because nothing plugs into the anus… at least not literally… but still, you’re getting screwed, right?
Almost the perfect literal for “reinventing the wheel”
there is no seat, that’s the handle. not sure if this is easier to learn than a skateboard. definitely an interesting idea, but kind of pricey. when will the chinese knock-offs appear?
It’s like a razor scooter meets a velocipede. Ridiculous.
Besides, there’s already a Seattle-based company called Magic Wheels that produces an internally-geared wheelchair wheel with 2:1 roll ratio and hill holding - something worthwhile.
