Looks cool! I wonder if there will be patent disputes with Segway since both use "intuitive leaning control" and gyroscopes for balance. Also refreshing to see a cool invention that I'd never heard anything of before -- unlike the thing that was going to change the face of human existance forever!

next they'll make a pogo stick with a single helicopter blade that swings around... but the electronics compensate for everything and make it a smooth ride.

GIZMODUCK!!!

you sir, are awesome. /salute
I always loved that show, and the NES game was fun back then as well.

also, I'm sold as well. Looks like alot of fun as well as a cheap (AND CLEAN!!) way to get around. Though a bike is of course cheaper.

This is 67.4% less rediculous than the Segway.

This, my friends, is how we're all going to be a society of fat-asses!

Want!

I can already imagine fat security guards riding these around shopping malls.

Or you could, you know, put a second wheel on there and save a shit ton of battery power so you don't have to use energy just to keep it upright.

Segwhat?

Lulz, white people!

you are not using battery to keep it from tilting to the sides. the human does that just like riding a bike.
once you get up to certain speed, angular momentum will it stable.

Put some training wheels on it and I'm THERE!

Human and gyroscopic balancing only work on one axis, there smart one.

Kinda like a segway, but not for fat slobs.

I really hates this thing.

Man, that was the FIRST thing I thought of too.
