6 of the worst Segway knockoffs ever
The Segway personal transporter hasn't exactly been a runaway best seller, but that hasn't stopped designers from trying to cash in on its innovative design. But when they try, problems abound: either they mess up the design with things like extra wheels, create concepts that are fundamentally flawed (like the "stroller" above), or somehow out-dork the dorkiest transport device ever made. Here are six of the worst Segway knockoffs ever.

Rad2Go Chariot Scooter $500. Do I see extra wheels under the platform?
Famosa Dareway About $220. Looks pretty cool for the kiddies, but again, instead of gyroscopes and computers, there are extra wheels tucked under that swoopy body.
"O" Stroller This concept ignores the fact that a Segway needs two wheels for lateral stability. Would you trust your baby to this?
Orbis. Another single wheeled concept that ignores the laws of physics.
GM Puma. This concept was actually developed by GM with Segway, so we can assume that it works. But just why would anyone want one?
T3 Motion ESV. Designed for Police and security patrol, it's hard to see how the T3 is kind of a Segway/motorcycle clone.
