    Building it seems very expensive but entertaining in the end. They should sell these but when there more professional

    @saitzev others have used community-based toolkits. The SDK is an official one from MS that will let more novice devs code on the platform. Kudos go out to the wizards able to develop without all those tools!

    what’s interesting is that there is a video on the marketplace for this, but what’s even better is how “they” are claiming that they have been in development of an SDK and are planning to launch it. If I remember correctly there have been other people out there that have already done this. WTG microsoft.

    I wish Microsoft could come up with innovative stuff like a jumbo iPod Touch.

    This stuff is BORING!

    Just needs a cooler on one side, a cup holder on the other, a flat TV in the front, a satellite dish on the top and I’ll be done with my custom chair.

    well, I’m already looking forward to watch in some 30 years or so Your Youtube video on ‘how to check and exchange brake fluids on a 500 cc single cylinder Kawasaki Exo Skeleton’ … ;-)

    @bangalorebobbel You’re right. I sometimes go on Youtube and look at some of the mobility devices coming out in Japan. They have electric leg assisters that strap onto people’s legs and help them walk (called HAL for Hybrid Assisted Limbs) as well as some small portable scooters people can carry and ride on.

    @hoohoohoblin
    yes!
    And not only concerning fun purposes …
    means, of course we are now joking and laughing … but if You consider that the population structure of many countries like eg Japan or Germany is going to change to an overaged population, You may find that there will be soon a high demand for comfortable and easy short distance transportation. Segway is not good for aged ones, but something to sit on it … or at least some assisting wheels fixed on the Harley, as You showed … ;-)

    @bangalorebobbel Yes! I never thought of modifying a power wheelchair, but after seeing this guy, it makes a lot of sense.

    wow, historical video - we see the future of personal transportation … and this vehicle combined with a lawn mower could be even the future of gardening … ;-)))
