Tapis Volant appears as a rectangular red cushion with beaded tassels dangling down from each of its sides. It runs along a single tram track, using it as a monorail, its wheels propelled by an electric motor. The cushion lies on top of a mechanical system that allows the driver to balance when seated. This posture not only mimics the operation of a “real” flying carpet, but also links body posture to movement in a way that driver has to be Zen to operate. http://www.hehe.org/

i love the slowness...

Thank you everyone - front page!

Also comes with an umbrella to stay dry. (Convertable model sold seperately) LOL

gaffa, wtf. That was NOT the lotus position.

upvote, but only cause it's red :-)

Ok 1zin1 I removed the "lotus" statement because their website removed it too! Site now has photos of the underside and closeups of the flying carpet.

Thank you James Roe for all the hand editing of old-fashioned long tags. I hope they didn't break anything seriously.
