Will it succeed where the Segway failed?

Id Buy that for a Dollar

Someone will probably one day make a personal transport vehicle like this that everyone uses.. perhaps they'll call it the 'bicycle'. Oh shi-

(Bicycle + Battery - Wheel = This)

I would be interested how this "transformer" gets light weight, battery life and stability out of this design. If successful, it sure looks like Segway 2.0. Nevertheless, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a light weight gyroscope that can balance a human being.

So instead of riding on a thing and don't have to walk, I'll have to carry this thing around with me? Why don't I just walk?

Well, a Segwat costs 4500 USD. 30k x 4.5k = 135.000.000, much more than invested...

I still want a bicycle. The most efficient machine ever invented.

What the f**k is wrong with walking? Id but a nice pair of shoes instead.

 

[Onus]

I'll take my Catrike...no balance issues.

 

[Cy-Kill]

Does anything shown on Yanko Design ever come to fruition..?!

 

[plinkoblinko]

When will they just finally release the Back to the Future hovering skateboards...

Bicycle FTW. People need more excersize anyways. Cheaper, lighter, more enviro friendly.

 

[victomofreality]

and I just felt the world get fatter from just the concept of this... we already don't walk enough as it is, do you want us to become the floating chair blob people from wally?

Better check your math, that's 13,500,000.

Uh, 30,000 x 4,500 = 135,000,000.

135,000,000 not 13,500,000.
Oh man, that's embarrassing.

Your right, my calculator didn't have enough zero's, LOL.

Nothing like incorrectly correcting people.

There's this awesome trick we learn around 4th grade...to just move 0's.
4500 x 30000 equals 45 x 3 plus 6 zeroes...which is 135.000.000

No need to use a calculator for such simple math...you're welcome
