Skiing Segway may or may not make the Segway cooler

skisegway.pngIf there's anything the Segway needs, it's someone to make it look cooler. Like a hot girl wearing baggy clothes and nerd glasses in a teen comedy, it needs a hunky football player to take a bet to take the Segway to the prom, only to discover its true beauty within, take off its glasses, and make it the most popular girl in school. Or something like that.

This concept vehicle adds a set of back wheels to the Segway, giving it some speed and perhaps some more stability. It features a "skiing-like steering mechanism," and hey, skiing is cool! Could this be the redesign the Segway needs? Is this even a Segway, as it seems like it eschews the fancy balancing mechanism that defines the Segway experience? Does anybody really care about these glorified scooters in the first place?

Yes, they're lovely. They fascinate me. They had advertising guys ride around in them in an fair I attended recently and I wanted to punch them and steal their Segways :(
