Default Your 2nd Favorite Alternative Transportation

I have owned an electric scooter (Xootr EX3), a kick scooter (Xootr Street), an electric bike (heavy and large), folding bikes (Dahon), normal rollerblades, LandRollers and Skorpions skates.

All of that and the Segway PT is my FAVORITE! It's great in NYC where the pavement's rough and stopping on a dime is cruicial. I don't have to balance and it's very easy to control. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

But...

For portability, I would love to try the:
  • YikeBike
  • spnKiK
  • SoloWheel

The SoloWheel really appeals to me because it seems to operate like the Segway (probably copied Segway's technology), doesn't require strapping anything on and is moderately priced.

What are your thoughts? Any alternatives that you own, would like to or have tested?
