It’s the next phase of the Segway. Very cool.

so basically it's a Segway with a seat.

Pretty much ... the drive and control technology in the Segway is brilliant. The packaging of the Segway is another matter. BTW, should you ever go to Augusta Regional Airport, you'll find that the line crew uses Segways to get around.

Agreed it's a totally unmarketable enterprise, but this fellow has an intuitive talent and the ability to connect with other smart minds to solve problems.

This country could use more like him. His grand-dad would be proud.

They use them in Atlanta too. It's a cool concept but you're right, the packaging of the Segway leaves a lot to be desired. This kid may have really hit on something here. I can't imagine coming up with something like this when I was 18. This is a young man with a bright future.

The UNO - Slang for ‘Goldmine for Lawyers’

This ranks right up there with lawn darts.

cartoon from the 80’s. a bunch of guys running around on these types of vehicles fighting the evil that had setup ‘zones’ arrl around earth that turned people into zombies. the spiral zone fighting force, whatever it was called was going after one zone after the other to eliminate teh bad guys.

not a bad concept for scifi.

Yes, and that's the best part of this story. The kid's a serious go-getter.

This thing is going to give the term “Face Plant” a whole new meaning!
