The designer called this a bike. Bike? I say it’s a Shaw - a Rickshaw without Rick on the front pulling it. The concept is designed for senior citizens. Me. Yeah, me with a huge airhorn.
The functions designed into it make it easy to get around, specifically its controls to change direction that are activated with the push of a leg. I don’t know what keeps me from flopping forward on my fetid forehead, but I guess there is a plan.
