    Hmmm... I thought this was a Pontiac. It's the new replacement for the Vibe, right.

    I serious doubt these itty-bitty things could handle the super-sized XXXXL American body mass. Of course, the biggest of them can no longer stand anyway, so perhaps the effect is self-limiting...

    First small cars, then electronics.


    Now they are trying to take over that last bastion of American ingenuity...the lazy douchebag!

    I can't wait for the first 'West Side Story-esque' beatdown between Segway dorks and Winglet nerds.



    *Bonus points to the first person to name the 'cooler than a Segway or Winglet' car in the background of the above photo. 1st prize is a plate of poutine sourced from Dearthair.*

    @vwminispeedster is contemplating an Absinthe powered Citroe...: Ha! I am picturing this beatdown happening in front of the Capitol building by two competing gangs of tour companies.


    I was in Washington, DC last year for the first time and I was appalled at the absolute douchebaggery of the Segway tours. I didn't realize the fanny pack was back in style until then.

    I always thought the perfect application for the Segway/Winglet would be as a golf cart. Put a holster on the front for clubs, cupholders on each handle for "water" (wink wink)...


    The idea of ripping up my local public course on one of these, 6 beers into another round of horrible golf, is very appealing to me for some reason

    Can I get a $105,000 Hennessey mod winglet? 0-60 in 3.1sec, 1/4mile time in 8.7sec, and a Geforce that would make Buzz Aldren cringe.

    I always thought that the Segway would be so much less dorky if they got rid of the handlebars, let you stand surf stance, made it look less like a wheelchair and a lot more dangerous to ride. Then we might have something.

    @Picarso: You know... you're exactly right. Give them a wired controller for either hand, like a Wii, and no handlebar for safety...


    Shit, I'd buy one tomorrow.

    I think is the opposite of what you said. Cars have always been associated with sex - literally in the importance of back seat mating rituals and culturally in the design of Ferraris.

    It needs a seat. I'm sorry, that's the big problem with the Segway. If I am going to have a machine to haul my fat ass around through places I could be walking (except stairs), I at least expect a seat. The last thing I want to do, if I'm shelling out a few thousand dollars to allow me to be lazier, is have to expend all that energy standing up!
