    So is this what General Motors are doing with some of their billions?

    Segway have some very clever engineers, but it is so far from either a motorbike, or car in terms of usage, and dare I say safety, I wonder if it will ever get to our shores.

    Still interesting though

    It certainly is interesting… Reminds me more of a wheelchair, just maybe a faster version…

    I understand they are not legal to use over here.

    As reported by the BBC 4 years ago:

    Very impressed with the Gyro effect but I can’t understand how this can be used in a road environment. Sudden braking must cause problems.

    That said, I’d love a go. Segway, if you’re listening we want a free prototype for testing on The Bike Forum!
