The proud creators of SpeedFit are now looking for investors. Seriously — and this vid is their pitch. Sure, if you want to walk or run down the street for exercise, you can…walk or run down the street. But, with SpeedFit, now you can do the exact same thing only on a contraption that costs a ton of money, is a pain in the ass (it’s one heavy mo-fo), is a potential traffic hazard and can only barely turn corners. Kind of like marketing a spanking new heart-lung ventilator-machine to 100% healthy people who are perfectly capable of breathing on their own. Sign us up!
I guess people will buy anything if they THINK it will make life easier.
A solution in search of a problem.
I would be a little nervous in the “tandem” setup. One stumble and I’m engaged to the guy behind me. I think I would have to go solo on this thing.
i love this thing. i want one.
i am big fan of worthless crap.
He is not running faster with it than without.
Now if it would power your iPod…
Strange.
I wonder what kind of mileage this gets.
Does it have selectable gears? That would make it look a little easier to drive.
But really, this thing is stupid.
It will only catch on if “It can be folded flat for easy storage”
How much would you pay?
Don’t answer, because you also get a Segway.
Now how much would you pay?
Still don’t answer, because on this special offer, we are including a can of bald spot spray!
Now how much would you pay?
This is just a teaser video to get folks to check out their real exercise products on their web site.
Hilarious. It looked like they were struggling to get the thing moving. Which makes it even more hilarious. unless they want some sort of resistance thing
1. bicycle tires..make it lighter and faster..
2. TURN, TURN…I cant see how it takes corners..
#12 Actually, just replace it with a bicycle. If you can’t bike hard enough without going too fast, add a trailer with some weight.
This is pretty close to the treadmill bike posted on Youtube by gizmodo. That thing seemed more useful as it was more maneuverable, though it didn’t seem any easier to propel.
Must… kill… shitty… music…
This is a blatant ripoff of Fred Flintstone’s car. Except they left out the seat.
I put over 1,200 on my last pair of shoes. I don’t think I need this thing
[Pretty expensive shoes! – ed.]
Isn’t this an exact copy of one of the joke “invention exchanges” on the old show Mystery
Science Theater 3000?
But how much would YOU expect to pay for an invention like this …..?
Quick! Line eight of them up, and do a music video. Here we go again.
Basically, it’s a bike, without a saddle seat, or force reduction gearing, or steering. Wouldn’t ankle weights work just as well? Too bad that lame reality Tv show with American “inventors”, isn’t on anymore. Then it might get some investors. They’ll probably get more money selling it on eBay.
