I guess I just don't see the purpose...of either product. The segway was created with the intention of revolutionizing transportation in a crowded city by reducing the need for bulky automobiles/cabs to take a single person 5 city blocks and not mess up a suit/dress or make the person need to take a shower once he got to where he was going.
It's not very fast, but it is efficient and compact so you're using it with a purpose of convservation and convenience....now take it off roading? That's just being lazy... :) Score: [-] 46 [+]. Posted: 6 months ago by dexhol:

I tried to find a video of that thing for something a while back, I think it was in a futuristic car post, but all I could find was one in Spanish. That was a funny episode though.

I prefer this thing though: terrible invention
This thing cannot be real. No one in the entire design process saw any flaws with the thing!? Wow. I feel a whole lot smarter now. And p.s. there is no way he got that thing on the bus without any hassle. They cut the shot off just as the handle bar was about to get stuck in the doorway. Score: [-] 16 [+].
