Scooters Revisited...
The Sbyke (sounds like 'spike') fuses aspects of a bicycle (front end), skateboard (wide deck) and scooter. The bicycle wheel gives the rider stability, but the back wheels do the steering. To turn, you lean from side to side. See a slower more explanatory video here: www.youtube.com. $249.99 - Sbyke.com
