And for those who have everything: TheRyno
The all-new Ryno is a one-wheel alternative to the Segway.
The all-new Ryno is a one-wheel alternative to the Segway “that looks like it got beamed down from the year 2114.” Created by a self-taught engineer, this “astoundingly sure-footed” personal transporter improves on the Segway mostly by being less “conspicuously nerdy.” As on a Segway, the rider’s weight shifts largely control speed, steering, and braking, but the Ryno is a smaller contraption that puts the operator closer to eye level with pedestrians. Top speed is 10 mph, and “once your brain adapts” to the fact the Ryno is not a motorcycle, operation is “completely intuitive.” The first models will ship in April.
