It is believed the motorised lounge chairs made their way to the Big Boys Toys expo next to McDonald Jones Stadium.

It added a degree of hilarity for most people’s Sunday, giving the bearded men a beep or a wave as they cruised on by.

Gary Brush was at the Brewery on the Newcastle Foreshore enjoying the day when he saw the two men coast by and took a video.

“We just saw these two blokes cruising along in their chair,” Mr Brush said.

“It must have been an electrical powered disabled chair and they just had the recliners mounted to it and controllers on the arm rests of the chair.

“It looks like these guys have manufactured them.

“They were just a couple of hipster sort of dudes cruising around and taking in the day, yesterday was a beautiful day.”
