Segway Scooters, the human transporter. I don’t see this as a very good idea for the already overweight population. People are already less active in this day and age due to technology, and now this, a solution to people who are too lazy to walk or use a bike. :rolleyes:
I can see how it’ll be useful for people with disabilities, but judging from their website, and the pictures of the Boston Police using them, it’s quite clear who their target market is.

They are "recalled" for a software upgrade. Currently, if the battery is low, the Segway cannot maintain its upright position and may fall. The software upgrade will take care of the problem. Three people were, reportedly, slightly injured due to this.
