Centaur - a Four-wheeled Segway

Posted by michael on from the you-can't-afford-it dept.

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."

    Cities are being redisgned as we speak to accomodate this thing, I'm sure.


    From the article:

    Since Concept Centaur is just that--a concept--they aren't for sale. At the present time, Segway LLC has no plans to manufacture or sell this as a product.

    Well, one good thing about this new Centaur is that it is less likely for Bush to fall off of.

    Wait, you mean the guy who actually excercises?
