Re: Segway Look-Alike, Can It Compete?

Pep Boys even sells them now. $999. They even have financing available.

EDIT: I looked a little closer at this hunk of junk and it isn't even variable speed. What a ripoff!

Now what might be cool is to hack off those stupid caster wheels, and fit this thing with a gyro, speed control, and processor. It would still be very underpowered but at least it would work a lot better.
