Segway
Gyroscopic standing vehicle
Segway is a brand of self-balancing electric personal transporter—a two-wheeled platform you stand on and steer by shifting your weight.
The vehicle became iconic of futuristic urban transportation despite limited adoption.
Often confused with the unrelated word *segue*, meaning a smooth transition.
