VentureBeat: Segway teams with GM for two-wheeled transport

    Betting that it will sell for way more than $5k. The original Segway already goes for $5,200.

    For $5k GM could build a real car. This is purely a PR concept intended to rally Greenies to GM's cause.

    This is interesting. I would be very leery about teaming up with GM on any project. If GM goes into bankruptcy, it will only make it messy for Segway, this is the worst case, the best case is they are still partners with the Federal Government. No thanks!

    Cool looking in action when I saw it on CNN today, but I don't believe it's going to play. It can't operate where Segways can as it is definitely not a pedestrian friendly device, this is a vehicle with improved yet limited weather protection.

    Most "greenies" also forget that electricity isn't clean just because the device has no exhaust fumes as the source of the power usually does.

    The real solution for this something in this product range is a Vespa.......

    this is why GM is going broke. How can they waste money in this area?

    this wont make money for GM it only helps segway. good to see GM is investing in ways to sell parts for segway and not invest in selling cars.
