Finally, a backpack that you can ride as a scooter (Yahoo! News)

Brazilian designer finds way to combine the joy of scooter ownership with the joy of backpack ownership

Have you ever looked at your backpack and wondered, "gee,?why can't this be a scooter, too?" No, of course you haven't. Still, that didn't stop Brazilian designer?Gustavo Brenck from inventing the?Gig Pack, a backpack that converts to a scooter.

The Gig Pack's design is simple ? or, at least, as simple as a?backpack-turned-transportation can be. When you're ready to leave the house, just pull out the base of the scooter, fasten the straps to keep them from getting caught up in the wheels, and ... scoot.?When you've arrived at your destination, the aluminum scooter folds up inside the backpack without compromising space for other items.

The?fashion-conscious scooter can safely support people weighing up to 200 pounds. But don't go out grabbing a second mortgage on your house to buy one just yet ? Brenck is still looking for manufacturers.
