      You ever seen a toddler in a cozy coupe?

      My knees ache and my ankle pops just looking at them

    That’s what always bothered me about those cars—let’s push all this shit in a sitting position when we don’t really need to! But also it’s a parody, so I’m takin’ the piss.

      Actually, it does make sense to have a “vehicle” like this. We had them in real life, the precursors to bicycles were “dandy horse” and they operated by similar principles. Basically, the wheels of the vehicle allow you to “coast”, maintaining the velocity you’ve built up with less effort.

      The specific design of the Flintstones’ vehicles is silly, yes. The posture is inefficient and the giant stone wheels would be a bitch to get up to speed. But that’s just artistic license, IMO. You could build a four-wheeled version of the dandy horse and it’d be a reasonable vehicle for getting around in a place without any significant inclines.

        Actually shit yeah, that’s cool. Basically the same principles as a skateboard, really.

      It’s because he’s a quadzilla with undeveloped glutes. Explosive and significant short term power but incapable of extended endurance.

    What bothered me more is the steering. How is that supposed to steer? The front wheel is just wedged into the frame.

      He’s American so there aren’t any curves for him to worry about.

      If he needs to turn at an intersection he could just pick it up like a trapbar and rotate.
