I'll be surprised if this actually takes off.

Wouldn't be too bad with a giant K&Q seat and 8" over fork tubes.

Looks like that thing I rode in Spin Class a few years back...

At the end, He's gonna get jumped in that neighborhood.
I'm just gobsmacked.

I guess people who ride segways have a group lower than them to make fun of now.

At 10 miles on a charge it is going the distance?

I would like to see hard breaking on that thing, how fast can it go?

10mph. Would like to see it in action on a busy sidewalk in New York City!

LesterPiglet · « **Reply #8 on:** January 25, 2014, 07:14:08 AM »

Would it be allowed on the sidewalk? I wouldn't fancy one hitting me at 10mph.
Yes, I want so see emergency braking. Dealing with potholes and such.

I can distinctly remember getting drunk with a very un-motorhead buddy of mine and joking around that we were gonna get rich by building motorized uni-cycles. It seemed totally far-fetched and hilarious at the time.

Did anyone catch a picture of how it stays from falling over when parked? A kick-stand of some kind?

You lean it against something then someone comes along and steals it.

You rest it on those horns on the front. Be useful for dogs if there are no fire hydrants around.

Now, I get it! You would be helping stray animals if you buy one. Got it.

im just glad it doesent operate like that one on south park!!!

So, that's what a "monkey fu'n a football" really looks like ?

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #17 on:** January 26, 2014, 08:27:08 PM »

I see that thing as the future. 20 years from now they will be everywhere. Indoor and outdoor versions. Maybe even special roads or paths for them. grim. so grim. The internal combustion engine will be dead. The freedom to travel will become limited. Universal speed laws. Carbon bla. You guys still fricking reading this post? Come on. That stupid bike will be outlawed the first time some zipperhead kid cracks a fingernail.

2wheels · « **Reply #18 on:** January 27, 2014, 09:59:45 AM »

It's a great idea.
Put a knobby tire on and out to the walking trials I go. Well, in about 20 years from now for me, but when my mobile declines i will be very happy to still get out in the semi wilderness on one of these.

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #19 on:** January 27, 2014, 10:19:10 AM »

Ha! (Your name)

LesterPiglet · « **Reply #20 on:** January 27, 2014, 10:21:08 AM »

I can't imagine that machine coping with any sort of rough terrain.

Duanob · « **Reply #21 on:** January 27, 2014, 10:22:12 AM »

HA! Portlandia already did a skit about that towards the end of the second season.

You didn't see the Duck Dynasty boys on hoped up segways tearing around.
If a segway can do it, these things can to.

But FrankenFrankenstuff is right, they will be outlawed long before they are a mature technology.

LesterPiglet · « **Reply #23 on:** January 27, 2014, 10:41:14 AM »

Segways have two wheels, maybe that makes a difference, I dunno.

greenjeans · « **Reply #24 on:** January 27, 2014, 11:33:02 AM »

One chance to pre-order because they won't have another chance after they go broke for dumping their money into that ridiculous machine.

Who on earth are those marketed toward ? Just plain silly.

I still have, and can somehow actually still ride the unicycle I had as a kid.
