Treadmill Scooter WTF

Here's an out of this world contraption.



At first glance it looks like an ordinary, non-electric treadmill. For those who don't know how a non-electric treadmill works; it basically relies on the cylinders beneath the belt where you walk/run to keep the movement smooth, that plus gravity, which is why it's inclined.

Then you see the sets of wheels.



Notice the stands on the hind wheels to keep it stationary? Then you'd start thinking that the wheels might just be a convenient way to move the treadmill around - what if you had limited space and you wanted to put it in a (huge) closet every time you're not using it, right? Sounds reasonable...

Then you notice the set of hand breaks...



...and you realize that's just weird.

A treadmill scooter doesn't sound like the most wonderful equipment. That's like actually trying to replicate the Flintstone's mobile.

You know what's even funnier than that?


It doesn't really seem like it'll be more comfortable than a bicycle in any way. So much more expensive to at Php15,000.
