( And she will gladly take that escape hatch. )

Exactly. Much of my work has centered on infrastructure from necessity, but mechanisms were what got me into engineering. Understanding how they are needed and applied to construction has been critical, but getting to create something like that from scratch? That'd be amazing.

Propulsion would be a potential issue. The benefit of wheels is the user being able to generate speed by hand, and track propulsion would inhibit that, unless you... I don't know, created a crank mechanism, perhaps placed in front, like a steering wheel.

( She sounds dubious. ) It'd be so easy to place the wheel awkwardly and cause muscle strain.
