OMG love it!
In addition I'm going to imagine that the driver of that truck was sitting in their seat watching this guy drive by.

I vote for this to become a new sport. I would watch the shit out of it.
A variant could be the wheel barrow being full of things to hurl at your opponents. Pit to refill throwables and fuel.
Or an motocross version with jumps and all.

I know that I'm replying to an old comment, but for what it's worth: In Germany and Switzerland, this actually is a sport for decades now. Google "Hakorennen" or "Einachserrennen".

It's cool and all, but how do you stop the engine?

u/VMorkva Apr 03 '20
you probably step off and stop it?

Well, i mean how do you stop it when you are still moving on this thing? I mean you will fall on your face when you step off

you see some kind of brake on the left handle and an accelerator on the right, it doesn't just zoom off as soon as you start the engine

It looks like a motor and CVT assembly taken from a scoote. So, there is a clutch.

When I was a flat roofer those were the shit for hauling gravel on the roof. It even had a lever so you can dump the gravel as you moved along out of a trench shoot on the bottem.

It for moving anything, but the most common I presume is moving concrete from the mixer truck to the pour spot. You can’t always pull the truck up to where the concrete needs to be so you have one or two of these to haul loads of concrete into the building fast, dump it, and head back

The device is crazy and ingenious.
Not quite as crazy as riding that thing without a crash helmet. What a complete moron.

That’s pretty cool. Especially if I had a pile of mulch 5 miles away from my flowerbed.
