OK - so it's NOT Nitro or R/C...but dang this thing is one crazy cool two stroke scooter toy:

New Generation WHEELMAN

$1500.00 USD plus P&H
Standard colours - black and metallic silver.

Dressed in highly durable polyurethane, stainless steel fittings as standard
and with a 43cc 2 stroke power plant, this low-weight, high power and
thrills model provides a ride of a greater physically aggressive nature. It
has the power to climb or surf up those grassy knolls or climb mountain
trails. Ye Har!

Full demo vids on their site...i need one!

That is pretty cool. A different version of a popular toy. This is a two wheeled motorized skate/surf/snow board for land surfing. It might also become a pretty cool mode of transportation for the city types (if the cost comes down). I'll say it is innovative. Good find Retread.
 
You guys are CRACKING ME UP!! Listen to yourselves! How much money do you (me included) have wrapped up in R/C "toys"??

C'mon fellas! The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. I've got $2,800 wrapped up in ONE mountain bike for Pete's sake! With all the bikes (for the whole family) and all the gear in the garage...I've got close to $10k wrapped up in Mountain Biking alone...
 
True enough, but I don't have $1500 to lay down in one shot on any given toy. I have quite a bit invested in my toys...all told (power tools, computer stuff, home entertainment toys, and my RCs...does not include the wife's hobbies) I have more than 70 grand invested over about a ten year spending period. The only things that I laid out more than a grand for in one shot are my computers and my TV.

This two wheeler, though neat, does not make me want to go out and drop 1500 bucks on. Guess I just don't need it bad enough.
 
Don't get me wrong...I'm certainly not going to go out and plunk $1,500 down on a friggin scooter either. Just thought it was funny, you guys balking at the price - KNOWING full well what we spend on R/Cs!
 
Well this all comes back to perception and I personnaly don't think for me I would pay more than 300 bucks for that let alone 1500.00 that is a joke in my opion. I plenty of things that cost well over that amount but once again I don't think for me that is the way to go. I would rather buy 3 ofna scooters than waste my money on one of those things. X

I am still a newbie and only have about 1000 - 1500 invested, however I still have a daughter and a gf that I am trying to bring up from South America.
