April 13, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 6 commentsApart from looking extremely cool (For a geek, at least), Exmovere’s new chariot system will transform anyone who steps into it into a cyborg look alike. With a top speed of 12 mph, the device can be controlled by moving your torso around, allowing you to keep your hands free at all time. Even though anyone could use it, the chariot was primarily designed for disabled members of the US army, offering them “dignity, strength and increased mobility.”

Lol, yeah, I know some blogs posted pictures of the thing a few days ago.. but the video just appeared on the net recently…
Yep, you’re right, looks like a fake, but hey, it looks great anyways :)
OMG!! LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO THAT POOR SEGWAY!!!
That would be a pretty amazing invention for the disabled, as they’d able to function on the same height as everyone else. If it is in fact fake, I think it’s in pretty poor taste.
If it is real then I see one big problem with it as well. How do you bend down?
Worse… How do you handle that thing in a restroom….
