This thing looks incredible, but hopefully I never have to use one.

OK, looks neat, but really as user-friendly as advertised...??

How does it cope with kerbs? And how do you get it in and out of the car. And up the steps to your mates house. And looks painfully slow for getting around the shops... As Brother-in-law to a paraplegic I can see advantages, but I would suspect practically useless anywhere other than in the home. It seems a pricey way to reach things on high shelves. I'll swap you for one of these:

Will forward to my brother-in-law...
