Easy Riding: Taurus is Sexy Segway/Bike Combo

[gtvr]

Yeah, a transportation product named the Taurus. No one's ever done that before.

Also Ms. Orange jumpsuit is probably hotter than many of us have at home, but the getup they put her in for the pic takes away 2 points, at least.

Seems for those who are too lazy to stand on segway...

 

[juvealert]

its like a morotised wheel chair

 

[dman3k]

I duuno what's the hate about. I like it. Very Star-Trekish.

 

[ljport78]

You know what would make this better? If it had 4 wheels and was more like a chair with a back rest... Wait, that is a wheel chair.

Nice, now we can all evolve into those obese lifeless people in Wall-E...

The problem I've had with things like this is that I live in a northern climate - these won't do winter well. Second, where I live, it's still a fight to get decent bicycle paths put in so one can ride safely. These things would absolutely have to have their own lanes. Cars are already crowded and drivers distracted without adding this to the mix.

In other words, we'd need some social changes to take place before we could see wide use. It's possible, but just manufacturing and selling them won't bring about the needed changes.

Still, I bet they would be fun to cruise around on.

News flash now it's "completely" dorky looking!

Not quite sure what to say here..........I'll try not to laugh but so hard if I see someone on one?!?

 

[milktea]

I wonder if the adult industry would make use of it?

"doesn't look dorky at all..."

to me, that looks waaaaay dorkier than a Segway.

 

[enderwiggen]

How is this in any way less dorky?

 

[RADIO_ACTIVE]

"Best of all, it doesn't look at all dorky"
I hope your kidding, this thing looks completely dorky LOL

 

[miloo]

[xizel]

ohhh c'mon i love GOB George Oscar Bluth

 

[frankzz]

So... if you stop really hard.... hows that exactly work? I know my motorcycle puts a ton of wieght on the front wheel. how do you stop on this thing?

 

[Guest]

lol, I'm sorry, but I can't help laughing when I look at that second pic. It really does look like a guy riding a mechanical Road Runner. I'd take an original Segway over this any day.

Awesome, somebody just invented a bulkier, more expensive Moped.
