This is both sad and funny. A 28-year-old Ohio man with a suspended license was busted March 4 after the motorized 5 hp barstool he was driving home rolled over after he had consumed "about 15 beers." The Newark, Ohio Advocate has the whole story here. He pleaded not guilty and has demanded a jury trial.
Good luck with that.

So
How many miles to the barrel does it get?
Will construction be outsourced, will he get a bailout?

The darn thing looks top-heavy, he must need a wider wheel base. Obviously he should have motorized the entire bar. Then in court he could argue that he never actually LEFT the bar. And unless his town has a law punishing Taverns for committing moving violations, he would have broken no laws. If he had only 14 beers he would have been able to think all that through.

He should just get a 10-speed like normal drunks.

This is he flagship product of the new Obama Motors Company. See what our bailout dollars are going to support.

Video of this in operation last night on Rachel Maddow Show. They found a guy who builds and sells them.
