For Lazy Segway Users?

For those that don't want to stand.
And this is not for me. I'd need more control.

Yeah, but that looks like it would be really good for your abs.

good point. Do you think someone with a big gut would have to lean back?

I think it's a very interesting concept, from an engineering point of view at least. What makes you think you wouldn't have control of it?

 

I have a poor sense of balance. I think I would be continually shifting to regain my balance. I'd be driving/riding all wobbly. it would probably be easier to drive while drunk than a car though....hmmmmm

 

I dunno. Probably. But that would be even better for getting their gut into shape. I like this thing and am ALWAYS working to keep my abs in shape.

 

It would be awesome in a big city. Easy to carry around and up/down stairs for storage in your office/apartment.

 

If you look into it, you would see that it balances itself, like a segway. You might think with one wheel it couldn't do this, but that one wheel is made up of lots of smaller wheels turning perpendicularly to the main one.

The way some people got themselves fat down here in the West, I say someone with big gut will need another wheelie segway to support their tummy.

I agree, but it does look a bit dorky.

 

wow. i wouldnt trade my porsche 928 in for one but it looks fun.

 

Any idea on the cost? Range? Speed?
(I can't watch the video right now, but I think it is very interesting as far as the engineering goes)

 

Raven, have you seen the video yet?

 

Put a vibrating seat on that baby and all kinds of women would buy that I am sure.

 

pffft, just buy a Harley then

 

I just did. Pretty amazing.
I can't wait to learn more about the engineering behind it.

 

was it just me or did it took like it could go sideways?

 

Yes, the main wheel is made up of smaller wheels that can go sideways.

 

How about this one?
