So the Segway was invented because people were to lazy to walk from point A to point B. I guess standing on the Segway is still too tiresome for some people so they have a new sitdown version? I wonder what will be next, something that will force-feed you double cheeseburgers during the journey ;P

Yes, exactly! I want one NOW, especially with the cheeseburger option! Actually, keep the futuristic unicycle and just get me a cheeseburger.

I'm useless and so am attracted to this. But it probably only operates with passengers who weigh under 90 lbs. That would really make it useless for me. Ergo, I must have one.
