Toyota has developed a motorized, stand-up-and-ride scooter — is this the next up-and-coming Segway killer? (I think I just vomited in my mouth)
The three new personal transporters from Toyota will be able to travel 3-6 miles at a rate of 3.7 mph.
Toyota Motor Corp. has no to turn the Winglet into a commercial product just yet, but testing is planned to begin later this year.
Will this disaster-on-wheels concept ever make it to the mainstream, or will demand continue to be dominated by geek types and rent-a-cops?

If they're lucky it will be 10 times more popular than the segway.
Translation: 10 or 15 private citizens will actually buy one.
