The latest variation in self-propelled scooters is the "Snake Eye Tango Scooter". It works by placing your left foot over the left wheel, and your right foot over the right wheel. Then by opening-and-closing your legs, you propel yourself forward.

In addition to being marketed to kids, it's also being billed as "fitness equipment".

They call it "Tango" because the motion you use to make the thing go mimics that of a tango dance. It's distributor, Tango Fitness, compares it to something like a thigh-master. Except instead of getting Suzanne Somers as the spokesperson, you get Hulk Hogan.
