I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.

I love the concept, tried some and would be willing to pay good money for a kick scooter that folds small enough to fit inside or hang off a big backpack, made of some super light material like carbon fibre

I've lost hours searching for such a thing online and the closest one is the Valor scooter. but unfortunately it's ugly and they only make it for kids and I'm a big guy :/

Unfortunately I think we're not there yet. My one folds into a meter-long bundle of a metal plank with wheels and a metal pipe and while it;s still light and handy it won't fit in any backpack.

I feel it's a lack of appetite. very few adults actually want non-electric. I've seen a much wider range of electrics, including small form, experimental ones and more :/
