Different type of clone
I attended a fiber festival last weekend, with my Segway, of course. One of the vendors was telling me that they had been talking about me on the way up. Apparently a friend of theirs had just bought or was talking about buying a new, large farm tractor. It came equipped with a special new seat with gyroscopes.
His wife wanted to know what that meant... "like that lady on her Segway." Apparently it keeps the seat level and you just seem to float over rough farm ground... I did a bit of research and didn't come up with anything relevant so I'm not sure whether this is actually on the market or not...

It's probably just a suspended seat, like these:

This one is put on by alpaca breeders and other folk who raise animals for their wool fibers. Vendors, classes, exhobits etc... There are a number of these around the country each year.
