The Segway Human Transporter is designed for covering distances that are too far to walk but too close to drive to. But other devices that do the same thing are already available.
"Before we all go buzzing off on $3,000 Segways, take a look around at devices that already do essentially the same thing. As it turns out, there are a host of electric scooters already on the market that will zip you around town. No, they don't use gyroscopes to balance themselves, as Segway does.
