Turning to gear, we have a new and improved Segway, and by improved we mean an awkward scooter-esque contraption. You’ll still look ridiculous riding one of these, but it’s actually sort of, kind of, dare we say, cool? Anyway – it has a 10 mile per hour top speed, a 14 mile range, and all the excitement and dignity you’ve come to expect from Segway. Be sure to keep an eye for these at your local startup.
