I always like seeing new and more convenient form of transportation, and yes, I wish I could afford a Segway. This Solowheel looks to be a smaller version of the Segway, or other self-balancing vehicle.

As you can see, the Solowheel is very small, sort of like a tiny unicycle that you don’t need to pedal. It has two gyro sensors for control, which is leaning forward to travel forward, lean backwards to stop, and all that.

The speed is maxed at 10 miles per hour, and you can get 10 miles on a full charge. It takes an hour to charge and plugs right into the wall.

The best thing is that the Solowheel is light at about 26 pounds, so you can carry it around when not in use. Just try that with a Segway. The only downside is the price, as it retails at $1,795.00. If you can swing that, you can purchase it here.
