1st of all those things look amazing
apparently they aren't that complicated.
My buddy is planning on building one... I guess all you need
is like an old lawnmower motor and a cable thats strong enough
and when you wanna go someone puts it in gear while its running...
and you get the idea.

anyway it sounds like it would work if you're planning on making one...
Since thats probably the only way to get one

i think you can easily make one yourself, use a lawnmower motor, or scooter motor (allready has appropriate RPM) and an old rim from a car, some scrap metal, ball bearings and your off....
