It reminds me of H.G.Wells' time machine!
I trust you'll give us a full road test report when you buy one Yodie!

Why does it cost sop much?  It doesn't appear to be motorised?

Bloke at work has one that climbs stairs and balanes on 2 wheels and it only cost £1700!

I think you will find that the stair climbing gyroscopic two wheeler actually costs 20K

My current chair cost £3,400 ultraleightweight titanium, offroad rims and Carbon fibre spoked alloy rims
the lightest chair available on the market

so you see in wheelchair terms a chair with the abilities that the one they are selling is actually very competetive, and if i had the money i would order it now

Could you have it signwritten? Either your Bikerlifestyle logo or hire yourself out as advertising space! That stair climbing gizmo looks like some sort of lunar landing craft -& probably cost the same.
I haven't seen any of the new Doctor Who progs -how do the Daleks climb stairs these days?

Sponsorship. That's what you need Yodles. Get Wizzy to write you off as a business expense. Or take up drag racing & get loads of sponsor's logos stuck all over you.

If only I got business expenses.  :-[ My hourly rate works out as less than yours, and I don't get paid for working weekends.

Do custard chrome do shiny things for wheelchairs? I thought they only did bits for Milwaukee wheelchairs! :P
