Finally a "real" ripoff, instead of those 3-4-wheeled wannabe's! :P
It seems to lack power, and their implementation seems unstable (It looks like it tries to be 100% upright at all times, which limits your control, while the Segway intentionally is, I don't know, sloppier?)

How much????
The video is poor quality and it makes it difficult to assess the machines' finese and robustness. Need more details. But at least it's a real rip off, like Joushou says. Nice find, philippeseg. Notice the two different tyres? I wonder if they have an InfoKey copy too?

Did anyone notice that they even cloned the parking stand?

Cloning the parking-stand will drag their company into bankruptcy..
I wonder what batteries it got, and what power-output... It looks like they cloned everything there is to clone... Mats, gearboxes, battery-shell...

I would be most concerned about their safety factors... I can see the uneducated observers start to see safety issues, and lump both segways and knockoffs in the same category...
That may have a chilling effect on access. On the other hand, it may force some new models or some updates from Inc., as competition is the lifeblood of innovation. I am curious to see more or hear more about this interloper...

"Damn, they're ripping us off! Hmm... What unreleased products do we have on the list... Hover-wheels, C4 grenades, tow-bar... Lets just go with the matter/antimatter packs... They've been sitting on the shelf for years now, anyway" - Segway's management when they heard about the clone.
I too would like to hear some details about this device...

i had to look and see if the music in the cloned seg vid wasn't the national anthem... it wasn't hehe read the first text comment on this vid we Americans will have to get used to needles under the chin to hold our heads up if something doesn't change soon.

Looks like they also cloned the completely useless fenders too! Well that is a little unfair, they are useful for keeping your legs off of the tires, but aren't very useful for preventing dirty water from kicking up.
