An anonymous (and hence, unconfirmed) source has told us that Segway engineers are currently working on a new model of the electric scooter that has no handles.
The new Segway is in early development, and may use either a wireless handheld control unit for turning, or may in fact turn solely based on the balance of the rider, like a skateboard. Crazy, if true, but it might give the Segway a much more portable option, since the current models are somewhat unwieldy to haul up stairs or strap to one’s back.
