Bombardier, maker of planes, trains and water mobiles, forged a new way to battle wet and heavy terrain when it introduced the first snowmobile in 1942. Sixty-one years later, the transport manufacturer is again out to re-invent personal travel, this time on dry ground and congested city streets -- and on one wheel.

What no seat belts?
Airbags?

It at least looks cool.

kAcknor Sez: You got that right. Beats the heck out of the Segway for cool!

This has the look of a motorcycle, and in that would inspire people to buy and use it. It would go well with leather and full face helmets, while Segway brings forth the very essence of 'Geek' in a bicycle helmet and elbow pads. :)

I want one! Looks like a hoot! Half a motorcycle...

As long as it doesn't operate like the one on South Park...

[kAcknor]

Far too cool to not give it a bump....

LOL! That's the first thing I thought of. I was glad to see that the seat had no...projections :-)

The funniest part was at the end of the show when the guy said there were handles on the side that operated it in the same manner as his "projections".
