Centaur - a Four-wheeled Segway

Mr. Protocol writes "Segway, the folks who brought you the two-wheeled wonder called the IT, have a new concept vehicle up on their website. Called Centaur, it's a four-wheeled version of the IT that pulls stable wheelies by acting like a two-wheeled IT. The movie (Windows Media or Quicktime) shows someone having far too much fun riding one."

Parent is of course refering to the iBot, Dean Kamen's wheelchair which allows the user to go up and down stairs, as well as going up on the back wheels to be eye-level with people.

It's pretty amazing, and like parent said, actually has a purpose. It allows people in wheelchairs to not be confined to one level of a house, or require assistance to reach things above them.
