I'm keen to see anything happen which can make better use of existing transport corridors and allow each traveller to choose their own route, time of departure and destination. But it looks like Segway Drift W1 riders would need to share existing pedestrian corridors with unpredictable, fragile pedestrians who will resent anything travelling faster than a pedestrian sharing their space.
I wanted to like these a lot, but they have major problems.
They're easy, once you learn how to use them. That's easier said than done.
People who have used a segway or ninebot mini scooter will prob have an easier-time with this, but it's def not pickup and go.
I've been on these at a park on a sunny day and fell 3 times after taking 15 mins to balance. USE PADS and HELMET
Kids should stay away, but if you can master these, they are liberating and the coolest mode of transport in tight spaces.
