Volkswagen unveils electric office chair that can travel up to 20 kilometres per hour

Automotive manufacturer Volkswagen has developed a five-wheeled office chair prototype that uses the same technology found in Volkswagen's electric vehicles.
The nameless model chair was designed by Volkswagen Norway's Commercial Vehicles department to help users feel like they are in an electric Volkswagen car, with a horn, seatbelt and hi-fi music system to boot.
"The chair is designed to give those who work in an office a feeling of what it’s like to have a car from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles as your workplace," said Volkswagen.
"You can drive, honk, and listen to music - even signal as you take a turn into a meeting room," the brand added.
Closely resembling a traditional gaming chair, it has a top speed of 20 kilometres per hour, which is similar to most electric scooters. It can also cover up to 12 kilometres on a single charge.
