I remember when the Segway was first invented; people such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs thought it would revolutionize the world. It didn’t, it hasn’t, in fact it’s wholly failed to enter the mainstream, remaining a niche product since launch.
That’s not to say it isn’t a desirable product. I know I’d like one, and I’m sure there are other like me. But the price and the actual practicality of owning one has limited how many people have actually dug their hands in their pockets.
However, Segway was bought by a British businessman last month, and there are now plans to roll the self-righting personal transporter out in India. And the X2 model seen in this video is one of the two being launched.
As you can see in the video, the X2 is an all-terrain version of the Segway, and it’s entirely possible to both go off-road and do stunts on it. Which makes me want one even more.
