Is this the future?
Look at this ridiculous contraption. It's basically a one wheel Segway. I don't fancy braking really hard on it, but it's definitely interesting!

Re: Is this the future?
Two conflicting opinions. Either Gav or Nathan is mega lame. You can work it out amongst yourselves.

Re: Is this the future?
No it's not, Nathan hasn't thought it through enough. With one wheel it couldn't accelerate or brake nearly hard enough.

Re: Is this the future?
I was thinking more of the 1/2 mile commute to work.

Re: Is this the future?
I always figured you accelerated the whole way there anyway.

Re: Is this the future?
If the tech advances enough it'd be possible for it to accelerate mega hard. Basically it'd tip forward until your face was about to hit the concrete and then accelerate like a ******* to get you upright again. It'd be like a roller coaster. Similarly, braking with a fist full would have you looking up at the clouds as it leans you right back. At least if you crash in that instance you're already on your back 1 inch from the ground!

Re: Is this the future?
I think you may have missed the point, it just looks fun to play with, if I want to accelerate and brake hard I'll take the Ace.
