what´s the name of the transport tool... (hardly a bik,e though it has two wheels, but it´s totally different from the image we´re accustomed to see under the name "bicycle" witj pedals, chain and steering "stick" :) )

it´s a pad with two wheels, inbuilt gyroscope to keep it steady and a rod to grab and not to fall when you stand on it... no brakes, no nothing due to inbuilt gyroscope - you keep it moving or standing still only with your body tilt - forward, backwards or standing still....

can´t find it on google as I don´t know the name :(

it was also used in the film Broken Flowers of Jim Jarmusch - in the first scene, where the staff manager goes through a desert on this "bike" looking for an actor who dissappeared... (with whores and alcohol)

    that?s it!

    lovely machine, would love to ride it a little...
    A-bike is really sexy, but being lazy makes me want to own Segway :-D

    yup..... but the price and small imperfections makes A-bike winner to buy

    sinclair forever....?! :lol:

    looks like a death trap to me.

    if your that lazy get an electric wheelchair. you get to keep warm with a tartan blanket, and if you want to go even further get an electric voice like prof hawkins. now thats taking it easy! :)

    No no no. Get one of those mobility scooters. A nice red one. Then just whizz around the streets in kind of a special needs version of the Dukes of Hazzard.
