Designed by Erik Lanuza, Taurus may influence the development of personal mobility a lot. It is a perfect combination of an electric-powered motorcycle and a Segway, featuring both a cooler look and a more comfortable riding. So no more awkwardly standing and leaning, what you need to do in the future is to ride on the Segway and go!

What would the personal vehicle look like in the future? Nobody could give us an exact answer but we could get a preview with Sergio Luna’s ‘2028 One’ car. Coming from the Michelin Challenge Design 2010, ‘2028 One’ is a single-seater for inter-city transportation. Based on the Segway mechanism, the lightweight vehicle is compact enough for an easy driving. Though it adopts a joystick, the car could also be entirely controlled by a computer.

Japan has been claimed to be one of the most rapidly aging societies all over the world, and in order to help the elderly move around freely, Honda has recently come up with the U3-X, a small and modern unicycle. It runs in the same direction where you lean your weight, at a speed of up to 3.7mph. The U3-X weighs under 22 pounds, and therefore making it easy-taking. Though the vehicle may look a bit uncomfortable to ride, it will surely have an impact on transportation in the near future.

Is the Segway used during Olympic Games still in your mind? If so, the portable segway will also delight you. As an innovative alternative to cars and bicycles, it is a one-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle that weighs only 25lbs while reaches an average speed of 22km/h.

The Segway is very popular an even has been used in Beijing Olympic Games. Toyota unveiled its own mini Segway—Winglet http://www.inewidea.com/2008/08/06/6527.html.Both Segway and Winglet are all driven by wheels, but the one called Cajun Crawler is actually a Segway driven by insect legs.

It is also based on Dynamic Stabilization, but the legs are pretty weird. Although the user will not feel the differences, it is very fun for passersby.

Segway has been very popular all over the world. But Japan’s moto giant Toyota expect to release a new similar product named Winglet to compete with Segway.

Although the top speed of winglet, which comes with three sizes, is only 3.7MPH (versus the Segway’s 12.5 MPH) it is enough for the indoor traffic and is expected to be very popular.
