Just another thought ...in adopting a more recumbent postion the footprint of the nanocar extends significantly. Self-balancing technology is surely superfluous; overcomplicating a situation that a third wheel would more efficiently and economically resolve.

Great innovation but I think I'd prefer the Centaur, similar footprint, better visibility, just as manouevrable on rear wheels and with a higher top speed when on four.

I really think this belongs in science and technology, guys, so it's going to a new home

Hmmm, your call but since it is a mod to a Segway it really does belong in General Discussion...
Now Science or Technology on this thing! Steven |

I agree with Steven that this thread should stay in General, and Rob makes very good additional points.

I agree with Desert_Seg...back to Gen Discussion, but only because the unit is a modded segway.
ps - Feel free to delete my reply here if it gets moved back. I would suspect the other posters who replied with similar views would agree to removing their reply to "clean up" the thread if its moved back. |

Ah, the glorious C5. Offspring of a kid's peddle car and a TRON Lightcycle...
Today, this would probably be called a sub-compact NEV. SEGsby Quote:

I just also wanted to comment on the You Tube video.
They mention about using a four thousand pound car to bring home a pound of milk. Just for clearity, Who buys milk by the pound? I would guess they mean gallon, and a gallon of milk is a bit over 8 pounds or more. Just wanted to clarify that. Maybe they could edit that?

It is a segway mod and clearly belongs in General.
