This thing reminded me of the skate bike (AKA unicycle with training wheels) my friend had back in 1989:

Cute, but it is a novelty without much utility.

I thought I had seen something similar way back. Maybe it was the max skate bike?

Skate bike video is better. Wouldn't buy it because of the location of the handlebar. Seems to me like after a bit of time, my arms would get tired of being in that position and the bars become useless for holding a bag (as mentioned above). I'd prefer to learn how to ride a uni-cycle.
