Has this been mentioned before:

Parallel parking will never be a problem (mainly for women of course) anymore :p

Very interesting. Only a matter of time, I guess, before they introduce it to motorcycles. 'Sliding' around the bends will become a thing of the past, as one will then be able to go around sideways, lterally, or even backwards! Maybe that's asking a little too much?!?

Welcome to the forum.
I'd love to have these set of wheels on my motorcycle and car.

Battery operated yet uses AC motors.

Reasons, anyone?

I can't parallel park. I have a stipe in my left eye that causes double vision when i try to parallel park and I can't do it.

Are you a woman?

This won't be applicable to motorcycles, because the design requires the wheels to be in opposed right-left pairs. You run the wheels in the same direction to move forwards and backwards, and the opposite directions to move sideways. With a single wheel in front and rear you can't control sideways motion.

Might work on cars, but I'd expect cost and durability to be an issue for street driving. Higher wheel mass could be an issue too.

Don't confuse me with your facts. I want them on bikes too.
Party pooper.

Chalk dust - everyone could see that there was chalk dust!
