The WalkCar is for those of us who think walking sucks
Basically a Macbook on four wheels it packs a small electric electric motor than can propel you along the pavement at speeds of up to 16km/h – as long as you weigh less than 120-kilograms (I know, a tall order for many South Africans). To steer it you basically shift your body weight from one side to the other much like you would on a skateboard. Braking? Easy, you just hop off.
An hour's charge will give you an hour's worth of operating time. And when you're not using the WalkCar it slips easily into a backpack or handbag. Or the boot of your car. Pricing? Pre-orders have already begun with Cocoa Motors retailing the WalkCar for US$1280. Not bad. Although whether or not they will offer shipping and delivery to South Africa remains to be seen. – Thomas Falkiner
