Precise1 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Check it out! http://www.news.com.au/national-news/queensland/motocross-rider-matt-mcferran-gives-the-thumbs-up-to-new-allterrain-contraption-dtv-shredder/story-fnii5v6w-1226669649097 I'll be the first to admit that I think the Segway is cool as hell. It isn't so much an invention but a conglomeration of existing technologies, but in such a way that it achieves something entirely new. Admittedly, the Segway is a bit pedestrian and probably no good at water crossings... I really like it when people come up with things like that, and here is another prime example! Probably should have called it the Tankway, just for fun. Highlights: top speed of 30 mph, 200cc 4 stroke motor, tank treads. Hurry up you crazy australian and get this into production! I could totally see this for camping, hunting, ranching, exploring... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 That is cool! There are so many ways I could hurt myself with one like that. I have good health insurance though so it's all good! At least until obamacare kicks in! I wonder if it comes with a snorkel? Where I play it would sure need one! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I would demand that everyone would call me Johnny 5. Still, 30 mph is blistering fast to ride something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 James, they claim a sealed carb that is good for 10", but that tells me that all you would have to do is attach a flex hose to the intake and run it up the control tower. More info and a picture of someone catching air with one, but I imagine the landing must be pretty rough. They are now available for $4k! http://www.gizmag.com/dtv-shredder-on-sale/26135/ Yeah, 30mph is plenty to fark yourself up, especially on a powered, offroad scateboard with tank treads! B Here is another piece of awesome from the same guy. http://www.gizmag.com/uno-unicycle-transforming-motorcycle/16722/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 My electric trike will do 35mph... Granted, not in mud or snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
