Great...GM, a failing company, to introduce a segway, a failing product.

Brilliant.

That's so fugging stupid. There's zero storage space, you have to wear harnesses (which detract from the get in / get out easy viewpoint), they're wide, so not really going to be going down the sidewalk... GM should burn for this one.

Top Gear approved!
you can use an iReal or a iSeg but you gotta have a helmet on first. In theory the iReal can accelerate from a standstill like a normal kei-car....and that makes it ok to be used on the road.

The segway will be a wide bicycle that uses the lane, do you want that monstrosity to use your lanes?

isn't the segway illegal here because they can't be on the sidewalk or the road?

^I remember seeing one on hastings as I was entering hwy 1.
Thought i was tripping out at first as I was coming towards it, but as I got closer, there was no doubt it really was one.

Not really the same thing... the I-Real is more like the regular segway. If it was a useless wide 2 seater, I'd be bashing it as well.

there's nowhere acceptable to drive it, and nowhere acceptable to park it. sidewalk = no, road = no, too big for the bike lane, wtf.
