    Just what the japanes elderly need, a heavy battery powered contraption strapped to their waist to be more stable. I’ve also heard in Tokyo that everyone is always 5ft apart from one another, plenty of room to be whipping a pseudo tail around.

      Just uhh…give it a few wheels, optimally in the front…like make it 4 wheels and they can grab 2 handles with brakes to stabilize on slopes. They might not even have to use the tail too much

      …oh…that‘s just a walker, isn‘t it?

      Oh that rural Tokyo, where the rice fields go on further than the eye can see. This would be super helpful navigating those plank bridges.
