Upgraded Segway models offer new ways to embarrass yourself
Good news today for the elderly and embarrassed beat cops: there are two new Segway models up for sale. The x2 and the i2 both feature new LeanSteer technology, allowing riders to turn simply by leaning in the direction they want to go. The original Segway was propelled forwards and backwards by leaning, but needed to be turned using the handlebars. The i2 is the upgrade for the traditional Segway, able to travel 24 miles on a charge, while the x2 is the off road version, complete with beefy tires, that can travel 12 miles on a charge. Perhaps these upgrades are just the developments the world was waiting for to finally accept the Segway as a replacement for walking. Oh, did I mention the price? The i2 is $5,000 and the x2 is $5,500. I'll stick to walking, thanks.
