Epic All-Terrain Segway/Skateboard with Tank Treads
This all terrain vehicle was originally built for military purposes, but I wouldn’t mind riding it to and from work each day. The dual tank-treaded skateboard can also be used for more important purposes such as reconnaissance, rescue/recovery, mobile surveillance, and medical evacuation.
Pretty Epic Video Demo:
Below the skateboard is a small, Honda 200cc go-kart engine giving the beast a top speed of 30mph. It weights in at 125 Lbs (56Kg) and can tow or carry a total payload of 1200Lbs (essentially, a small vehicle). As shown in the video above, it can negotiate 40 degree slopes and rough ground easily. Even snow! (new version of snowmobiling, anyone?)
The vehicle is also fully customizable and includes a remote control. For more info, check out the DTV Shredder website which makes usual skateboarding appear far more tame and safe.
