Guess the guy was lucky he wasn’t thrown in the cooler.
By the by…hasn’t this pulled over for driving a cooler stunt been done before?

Impounded 30 days? Beer’ll be warm by then and that will certainly teach our Australian gentleman a lesson he’ll never forget!

Is there some kind of international training manual on how to be an unnecessary dick head? A motorized cooler! whats next an electric pogo stick. Nip it in the bud before someone starts to have fun.

I imagine the usual assumed use of these things is for carrying drinks and such to your outdoor events, but I can easily see this being a good way to do say, your grocery shopping. I know in some jurisdictions you can legally use golf carts on the street for this sort of short trip, low speed application. I have to wonder how the motorized cooler would fair in those areas.

Love the full-size tow truck….
Overcatering in the truck department is something we do well in Victoria. I took this photo a few years ago, although in Melbourne rather than Swan Hill.
Just look at it.

Use an electric mobility scooter with a cargo rack fitted to hold a cooler.
You wouldn’t be able to rev the motor and signal that you’re drunk, but it’ll get the job done, and fits into a proper legal category.

German engineering is the greatest in the world.

The video above your post says they ordered it via eBay.
Also, the other link has a link to a US company selling them
Would the 30 days be a “cooling off period?”
