Re: Handlebar-less Segway wannabe!

I don't see any official ties to Segway LLC, so don't call it a Segway.
That thing is an insult, and yes.. as Brad said, looks very dangerous.

I would move this out of this forum, and seperate the words Segway and this thread's product focus from each other.

While it does look like a good use of technology, it seems like it has more hazards and potential for accidents than a Segway does.

I hope a lawsuit is underway as well. Seriously.

Anyways.. if this mockery of the one and only Segway does in fact make it to market somehow, I hope it's not marketed as a Personal Transportation Device, but more as a scientific robotic platform.. just as the Segway RMP is.
