Okay....is it a Baby Buggy or a Rickshaw ? Nooooo It's a "Puma" ? Segway GM Buggy for two ( electric ?)


Some folks know I actually was a Rickshaw driver in Downtown Baltimore when I was saving money for nursing school....and I would give folks rides- there was a little compartment that would carry two passengers...it was a blast...( If it had been electric- that would have been heavenly...)

Well...DK wisely pointed out that Bush with ALL of his Segway Expertise Should have the FIRST Model ...so he can tip over....hehe....enjoy the video...

It is cool, but still in the experimental stage. There are a few things they need to work on. For it to be viable in the United States, they need to close up the sides for protection from the elements. That said, I can see these things being huge in India, China, etc.

Now that we know this is possible, GM needs to start spending more time retooling and getting ready to produce family vehicles with alternative fuel choices.

those little wheels on the backside say it all -- this lil thing will roll backwards too easily.

sorry but to me it only looks good enough for those unable or unwilling to walk. it's not roadworthy in any sense.

however, I will PAY to see Bush keel over in one, like his Segway experience!

oh yeah- let;'s get Bush one...oh yeah....

hahah, Bush wrecked that Segway like he wrecked the world. Thanks for the laugh! Yeah we could put all our toxic assets on sale for $99 and even then get no buyers. Put 'em on E-Bay, like his Segway!

You know if Bush got one of these GM thingies, he would definitely test the little wheels on the backside. Flip and Roll, W!
