Segway Human Transporter
Dean Kamen
Segway
You're bound to be the first on your block come March when Segway starts shipping their handy-dandy human transporters. No, not that kind of transporter, you Trekkie, you. These are the efficient, electric two-wheelers that had tech types agog a while back. Of course, our favorite image of it comes from the episode of Frasier in which Niles gets in touch with his cool side. In a sly marketing move, Segway is providing a hand-numbered collector's print for holiday giving, the perfect IOU to the object of your affection. Our commute is 70 miles of expressway driving, each way, so it's not for us. But, something this neat deserves to find a good home. At the very least, read the description and technical specs on Amazon's pages. It's worth the trip.
