Wasn't the segway a complete sales disaster?

[shin0bi]

I'd drive it. Or... do you "ride" one of these?
Whatever. I'd still rock one.

On a related note: I wonder if Power Chair lady is looking for an upgrade?

Complete? Maybe not... but never remotely up to expectations.

I think there has been some issues with people suing Segway for injuries....

Very very interesting. That would work well in a larger urban development

The vehicles would automatically avoid obstacles such as pedestrians and other cars and therefore never crash, Burns said.

Dumb.

Looks like a glorified wheelchair to me
