    Obviously, he should have applied power equally to both skates.

    Like so many before him, he hoped that physics wasn’t paying attention to his activities.

    I expected you to ask what I expected if things didn’t go as I expected. Other than that, I had no Great Expectations.

    It is a Monday after all. Martin has the rest of the week to work the kinks out…(of his back).

    At 4:1 belt ratio, with 1.5" wheels, and a low idle setting on the engine (600rpm) that would be 10mph. Not too bad. He just tensioned too much to start. He needed to bend his knees a bit to allow slipping at the start, then slowly straighten to in increase tension AFTER coming up to speed.

    Martin violently rediscovers Ferd’s Ninth Law of Loco-Motion: Always apply thrust equally to both upper and lower halves of any object under propulsion.

    Martin forgot the air bag. She arrived later to remind him of his failed expectations.

    He’s a little concussed but thinks it was something to do with perpetual motion.

    And so, the automatic, self-propelled, voice-activated ice cream maker / beer cooler / scooter goes back on the drawing board for fine tuning before its world debut.

    We are all on pins and needles waiting to find out if Martin will go back to his drawing board or will he at last hang up his goggles and retire. Tinder-hooks for us all.
