Solar-powered robot chariot imitates George Bush
While this probably won't replace those hip little Segways as the most popular method of powered personal transport, it's certainly a novel way to cruise for babes around the neighborhood (assuming you live in a blue state).
Designed by Bob Schneevies, a professor of neurology at Stanford, this decidedly odd contraption is a roller-blading, robotic version of George W. Bush that pulls its passengers on a chariot using energy provided by the sun. It doesn't look like "Georgie" (as he's been nicknamed by his creator) will help you win any races, but apparently can ramble over all types of terrain, so if you're a hippie who's into solar-powered off-roading, this is your vehicle.
