Ferrari Segway i2

Red, it has a little sticker on it, and it costs 1/10th of my college education! WOW!

PS: regular Segway costs 1/20th of my college education.
PSS: I like to compare things to the cost of my college education
PSSS: The cake is a lie.

Excluding VAT, my friend. I don't even want to imagine the price with tarrif......

And yeah, the sticker is rediculus. I'd rather have 2 segways

Where's the carbon fiber!?
Now we just need one from Porsche, it somehow wouldn't need any electronics to drive and would handle amazingly.

Uhhh... no.

While some older Porsches can be driven nicely without electronics, the Segway has more in common with an F-16 -- neither would be stable without electronics. And because of this, they are each considerably more maneuverable than would be possible if they had been designed for inherent stability.

Now, a Segway with the acceleration of a Porsche (or an F-16 ) -- that would be something to see!

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
