Would You Wear or Ride This Scooter Belt?
This "collapsible belt-scooter" was made by product designer Ádám Török as a school graduation project. While I do find this nifty-looking gadget to be kind of neat, as a belt it’s not particularly stylish, and as a mode of transportation it looks extremely slow and unsafe — it appears to be steered from the rear and I don’t think the “handlebars” add any sort of stability. I’d much rather walk around with a skateboard in my hand or strapped to my backpack than having to explain why I have wheels sticking out of my ass. I won’t completely write it off, though, since I haven’t seen it in action. Apparently, he’s also working on a new prototype. I hope they can come up with something a little more functional, because being portable is meaningless if it isn’t practical (that goes for you, too, Travel Folding Footrest!)
