The Toyota Winglet takes aim at the Segway


While the idea of a "Segway Killer" is pretty laughable because, you know, the Segway was kind of dead on arrival, that isn't going to stop Toyota from bringing one out. Its new Winglet comes in three sizes and is a human transporter just like the dorkariffic Segway.

The biggest model is the most Segway-like, with its tall handlebars and two wheels. The smallest, however, has no handlebars at all, looking relatively precarious but supposedly toting you around on just a small moving platform. Will such a change make the whole personal transporter market take off? Boy, that sure would be a surprise, wouldn't it? But stranger things have happened. Hit the jump for a video of the Winglet in action.
