Extreme Japanese Segway

Unlike the standard American Segway, this newer Japanese version doesn’t monkey around with such extraneous hardware as handlebars and saddlebags.

Just hold onto the little handheld controller, hop on, and go. As with its more conventional cousin, the Segway PMP-2 uses gyros to sense which way you’re trying to go and take you there.

We particularly like this little model because it’s easy to transport around in your car or store under your desk at the office. So you’ll be more likely to keep it handy when you need it. Plus, we like to envision a future X Games competition in which nimble youths perform death-defying aerial stunts on these things at mind-bogglingly high speeds.

Great photos.
