eXtreme Segway

Definitely fake, but it kinda makes you think…

I posted something like that a while ago. It is fake, but photoshopped very well. Next time I get 5,000 dollars, I’ll try it. Except I will have already spent it on unicycles by then.

They had a recall on Segways a while back, when the battery died, the gyroscope stopped working and people would fall. Wonder what the deal with that is now…

They were recalled for a firmware upgrade. Presumably they just monitor
the battery level and switch off “gracefully” before it runs out completely.
