What a good alternative to the segway, if the final price is right, looks very nice  :)

mmm, not sure matie  :-\

If that is one of those Chinese copies of a Segway I'd give it a miss... looking at the piccie I think it is as you can just see what looks like a 3rd wheel at the back to keep it upright.

Shame it's not street legal. My son's got a 500W scooter that's faster than the C5 and is an absolute hoot!

You are possibly right Karl, but I would still like a go, and I'm sure I can find some cycle paths to enjoy it without getting into trouble  :-[

I saw a gent whizzing along High Street Kensington on a proper Segway a while back. He didn't seem the least bit concerned the thing was not road legal and he seemed to be enjoying himself ;D
