Though honestly, I don't believe that the HTS has any hope of surviving more than 30 seconds on Taiwanese roads or "sidewalks".]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/
jg, so who cares if the Segway and other scooters didn't realize all the hype about changing cities. They're still useful and will become more so as time goes on. Are you saying that just because they didn't live up to the hype, they're useless? Are you letting your thoughts be controlled by the media? Yeah, the hover board would be great for the teenagers, but these scooters are ideal for older folks and the ones with some movement restrictions.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/What is with the "me too" obsession on this site. Isn't it a good thing when decent designs are improved or emulated? Or should everything be completely different, for no particular reason than ego?

Its not like designs spring out of nowhere, and this device clearly has more in common with a motorized scooter than a Segway.

And why isn't the lower price hailed as a good thing, rather than the disparaging remark about the bargain bin?

Ahh well, Engadget is Engadget I guess.

Those police on a bicycle in my town can reach 60 faster that that POS smartcar! LMAO]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/
LOL @ "regular humans" Let me guess, you're a regular human? I thought regular humans have average IQ's?]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/WTF?!? If there is no reverse gear, then once you turn past 90 degrees, you simply start turning in the other direction!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/

Now if we can only take down comedy central as a whole, SNL, Upright citizens brigade, Mad TV, the Chappel show, The Onion, and anyone else that uses racial humour in a lighthearted manner.. we will be free of tyranny.

you're a tool dude.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/17/human-transport-scooters-got-segway-envy/

Michael posted--"Segway envy"? You've got to be joking. There's no such thing. I saw a guy zipping around on a Segway the other day, and the kid that walked past meat that moment summed up exactly what I was thinking (and I imagine a lot of others too) when he uttered out loud, "f*#$ing dork". That made me smile.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AM
