Yikes that's some color combination. Hmm, who was the designer, a farm obaachan?

seeing as the segway is for fat-asses who cant be bothered walking the 50 yards to work or the convenience store to pick up more potatoe chips...
this would seem to be the really-fucking-lazy-mans' segway scooter?

i bet Sugamo (the Shibuya for obaachans and ojiisans) will be teeming with these in a few years - everyone will have to wear steeltoe-capped shoes and a crash helmets in such areas.

BINGO! It is a segway.

The 100% prior art to the i-swing transporter was the iBot, invented over a decade ago. The segway was developed from the iBot. Now, there's a strong patent lawsuit if they wanted to fight <saaaa> Toyota.
