I still consider the Segway has a lot of potential , but not until it reaches a reasonable price point . So in the interim , thisPersonal Rovercould meet the opening , providing similar functionality at a fraction of the cost .
Riding it looks like a mark between skateboard and cross - country skiing , since steering the four - wheeled non - balancing rover is accomplished by be given left or right while holding a couple of perch .
As far as manakin gene goes , its with child rubber tire and boxy frame do n’t have the same visual charm as the futuristic - await Segway . But it will also be you just$1,000 , compared to the Segway ’s $ 5,000 + price tatter . The Personal Rover ’s 800W electric motor will propel a rider up to 15 mph for as far as 12 mil on a single charge , while the whole parcel fold up up for sluttish store in a service department or trunk of a car . But because it has a limited turning radius , do n’t expect to see objectionable Personal Rover Marco Polo club popping up . ( Probably a good thing . ) [ Personal RoverviaCNet ]
