In the next Clip, "Why Not?" will show u how he can steer with and without a steering device.
His "steering device" is a steering device, because except for steering it will also propel him, fast'n easy....
An amazing invention from Mr Atsushi Doi.

Simple will never be perfect... Complicated, on the other hand must be ingeniously simple to be almost perfect...

That looks like enormous fun, and at low cost as well. Very encouraging to see the video, and to read your philosophical sub-titles.
