This was on facebook today... it looks like good fun, and a good way to exercise... but..., the price takes it out of most people's ability to buy one...
Its part bicycle and part treadmill ...
Watch "Lopifit - a treadmill on wheels | Euromaxx" on YouTube

I would love to have a go on one... the same as a segway... I'd love to have a go on one of those too ... quite a lot of cities hire them out, as a way of sightseeing... and if I ever come across one, and it's reasonably priced, I'd have a go...
would you ??
Click on the link below for technical information... lol

As my mother used to say - the best exercise is pushing yourself away from food.

@AbbyGreenhill She was right. I will not get up from here, I was thinking to an ice cream.

@sueznewz2 Sometimes it's hard even walking. Sometimes coming back from the grocery store, I take a little road that is shorter, but it is so steep that I arrive at home exhausted.

This does look like fun. I'd have a go if the price were right.

I probably wouldn't even be able to get on one without falling

The photos on top are motorized segway type things, yes. But lower left is similar to my carving scooter, only I have 3 wheels, 2 in the back. It is like a kid's frog scooter, only made for adults. It is great fun going downhill, but a very strenuous workout going even slightly up.

they are similar to a scooter... @drannhh but... the treadmill part... that you walk on...instead of scooting with one leg... drives a small motor which increases your speed and you go further too..

Actually riding a Segway is not easy, I tried and was not very successful and hubs with his Parkinson's could not master it at all, very disappointing since he was a motorcycle rider before this happened.

@sueznewz2 My feet hurt me, they cramped up, you need to gripe it in an awkward way I thought but yes I think it might help.

Yes I've heard it's not as easy as it looks... I ride a motorbike too.. and wondered if that would help

It seems many things that would be great fun are way too expensive for the average consumer. Apparently there is a market for such things.

I think it looks fun ... @just4him even better to get your exercise done outside on a nice day ...

@sueznewz2 I'd get Vince to try it and he could say if he thought I could manage. My balance isn't the best any more and I seem to take longer to process stuff than I used to.
