Zoomi Life

We’ve all at least seen those movies where the people climb into a cooper’s barrel, a garbage can, or something similar and roll down the hill risking life and limb for some kind of dumb thrill.  It’s all great fun until you careen headlong into that noggin-busting tree.

Now imagine doing that, but with full control and steering in a barrel that doesn’t even require a hill. One where you don’t have to get dizzy either (though that, for me, kind of seems to ruin the point).

Behold!  It’s eRinGo (Star?) with the wobbling steering motion and full-tilt spinning action.

Concepted by Iranian artist Mohammed Ghezel, it’s (appropriately) clad in green and seats two. Either person can steer, with one “wheel” locking in place while the other person drives and the alien barrel-looking eRinGo tilts to one side or the other, using its outer wheels, to steer and turn.

The inner section “floats,” of course so that the driver(s) can stay coherent enough to drive.

It’s merely a concept and may never be built, but it’s pretty cool anyway.  I definitely want to try one!
