Here's a perfect Father's Day gift if your dad's a fan of unicycles and other single-wheeled vehicles: A remote-controlled tire.
That's right, just the tire--no vehicle whatsoever. The creation of
TOSY, a Vietnam-based toy and robot maker, the
R-Tyre is billed as the "the first radio-controlled tire in the world", according to Dvice. And as dubious as we are of "
world's first" claims, we're inclined to believe this one.
Endless questions come to mind about this gadget--not the least of which is "Why?"--but there's one in particular that has an almost existential ring to it: If you're shopping around for one of these, should you kick it?
