Anyone seen the publicity today for Segway's new thingy? Electric cars gone teeny tiny. Have a look here: http://newssup.com/

Would you drive one of these or would you, like me, feel FAR too vulnerable doing 35mph in it? I'd be scared to death!

That car(?) actually looked like what we call in my country tricycle. It's motorycyle driven with a sidecar that looked exactly like that in the picture. It would've probably worked for most asian countries..if it were cheap. hehe. ninja

Given that the Segway PT sells for over £4,000 here in the UK, I don't think "cheap" will be a very descriptive term. We can hope, though!

I don't think "car" is the way to describe this vehicle. More like an updated version of a golf cart. I suppose they would have their uses, but I think they would be way too unsafe on busy streets or highways. I was in a crash once in a Lincoln with a huge V8 engine. The car was TOTALED at 35 mph!! But no one was really hurt because of that giant engine in that car. In a car like this I think we all would have died.
