    Looks really cute, I like the design, but folding it up seems almost useless, you’re barely saving space, but maybe it’d be enough to make it worth it in some cases, maybe if you’re lugging it onto a plane (?) or bringing it into class, so that it didn’t look like a scooter.

    Hey look, Honda already solved that question... Back in the 80s!

    The immortal snail isn’t real. It can’t hurt you.

    Tank controls, each stick would control the speed of one side of wheels.

    It's a pretty silly design apart from looking like a snail.

    The folding is barely space saving, also the space required for folding would mean there are no internal parts, so where's the engine?

    If you hit anything you'll get catapulted off the front it your legs crushed to noodles

    Not OC, so just guessing, but, for the controls, I would try moving one antenna forwards and the other backwards.

    Regarding the wheels, it seems sharp angles would be an issue.

    Where do the front three wheels go? They just disappear?
