thanks for posting this, magnum. i wanted to post a story about it too, but you beat me to it! : )
i think this thing is really cool, actually. the technology in the balancing is awesome... you can go up a hill with it, and still stand up straight, and it supposedly is nearly impossible to fall off of. i think this would be really awesome for countries like japan where cities are super packed. also, for businesses that use small golf-carts or cars to travel short distances. i don't see them being useful in suburban or rural areas, though.
I mean i dont wanna knock it, its a awesome design i would have never thought we would see something like this. I mean it keeps itself balanced thats hot. But it just isnt practical around here, but your right maybe japan will use it. They are up on all those hot new technologys.
wow.. thats SOOO sweet... i really think it would get better mileage then my CAR!
