electripod - change of vowel

I wasn't familiar with the Greek and Latin, but one of the things that did bother me about "ped" was that it could also be short for "pedal", which is a misnomer in this case. Thank you, John!

Electripod ... I have visions of a remake of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
How about calling the Segway HT with rider: Pedestrian++

So it's an Epod. I tell people that for me it is "run for your life speed". I haven't had the assignment yet to run for my life but I do know that 12.5 mph is faster than I would run in general.

I would, IMHO, find "ePod" as an acceptable short form of "electripod". Electripod as the correct and very specific formal term, and ePod as the short version. "ePod" sounds like it could be a verb too.
