The SpaZz chair is marketed in the US.  Here's a link to a description.  If the link doesn't work, Google Spazz wheelchair SpinLife

Unless this is a completely new slang term coined by young teenagers --
entirely a possibility -- this is news to me.  I've *never* heard 'spazz'
used in any other way than derrogatory.

I've left a post over at the BBC site telling them so. ;)
