Hoverchair

The two wheeled wonder

This electric wheelchair would use a chassis like a Hoverboard, but with a massively upgraded engine and a gyroscopic balancing device. It would climb stairs by bouncing: The stair facing pushes the chair back and up. Before the chair lands the wheels resume their turn forward and the gyroscope leans forward enough for the chair to get a little higher bounce without tipping back. Repeat until the stairs have been climbed. Outboard motor optional.

       This sounds profoundly uncomfortable to actually use, but funny.

       Surviving handicapped wheelchair contestants are awarded a bowl of nice borscht at the top of the Primorsky Stairs.   

       Like my Viet Nam vet buddy said "There aren't too many handicapped parking spaces; there are not enough cripples."
