A prediction from 1900 that in the year 2000 everyone would use 'Footomobiles' for transportation. Honestly much preferrable to what actually happened.
They failed to account for the rider looking like a total dork
Well they got one thing right: There are scooters blocking the sidewalk. The numbers of wheels was a bit off though.
Segways?
Basically
I'm in NYC and, while not everyone is using them, electric scooters are popular (i see people commuting by scooters all the time). And most of the kids i know have manual scooters. So the prediction was off by a couple of decades.
Are you crazy?
Those things are death on wheels. 💀
