1. A media display system comprising:
- a two wheeled base configured for an operator to stand on;
a modified steering column operatively connected to said base such that an operator can use knees to facilitate directing the system;
a media display for a user standing on said base to hold and steer, said media display substantially in the shape of an airfoil allowing messages to be displayed;
a connection bar operatively connected to said base and to said media display;
a handle means operatively connected to said media display;
at least one wheel operatively connected to said media display such that said media display can move 365 degrees, and wherein said media display can move in a direction different from said base; and
a regenerative breaking system, wherein use of a breaking mechanism of said base recharges a battery housed within said base.

Abstract
The invention provides a media display system and method that allows a user to easily maneuver through crowded areas while providing advertisements that can be selected and altered even while the media display system is in use. According to the invention, the system operates on a regenerative breaking system that recharges the battery as the system is in brake-mode or as a result of the media display in the shape of an airfoil contributing to the regenerative breaking mechanism.

9. A media display system comprising:
-
a base configured for an operator to stand on, two wheels rotatably connected to said base, a modified steering column connected to said base such that an operator can direct said system in a hands-free manner; a media display, said media display substantially in the shape of an airfoil wherein said media display includes an electronic media display that displays different messages over time, wherein the message on said media display can be altered in real time, sent over the Internet, and received through a smartphone to alter the messages on said media display; a handle means operatively connected to said media display; a wheel operatively connected to said display means such that said media display can move 365 degrees, wherein a forward end of the base can be traveling in one direction while a forward end of the media display can be pointed and traveling in another direction; and a regenerative breaking system, wherein use of a breaking mechanism of said base recharges a battery housed within said base. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
