What's the point of relaxing at the lake or campground if you get sore lugging a packed cooler of drinks? That's where the $499 Cruzin Cooler comes in.

"It's the world's first motorized, rideable ice chest," said Charles Pennington, director of national retail accounts for Cruzin Cooler LLC.

The Cruzin Cooler comes with a padded seat for the rider and an electric or gas motor. It can hold 27 12-ounce cans, but you can pack more in a $149 trailer cooler that hooks onto the motorized lead cooler. You supply your own ice.

An ice chest/scooter looked totally out of place at the electronics show. But Pennington noted that the product actually is ridiculous in any setting -- which is why people want it. The company has sold 40,000, he said.

Two of the coolers' specs caught our attention. One is that the driver can weigh up to 300 pounds. The other is how fast the Cruzin Cooler can cruise.

"Fourteen miles per hour," Pennington said. "Which is haulin' ass on an ice chest."

So after drinking the 27 12oz beverages and you become walk-challenged, you can ride. :D

I suggest two improvements though. The design looks as if it could use larger tires to better cover rough, bumpy terrain.

Second, since you have a power source, add refrigeration. It sucks to have to stop drinking to get more ice.

Doesn't look like it could handle the hills and trails of Road America.

I bet I could rewire it...

These have been popping up at the Portland race for the last several years.
Looks like a pretty crappy design- all of the hardware bolts and rivets right to the plastic cooler, including the wheels, with plenty-o-cracks the predictable results. Yep, they'd go 14 mph- for a few hundred yards, and then they're dragging bottom and lucky to make 8.
