Eco personal transportation
I watch out for this sort of thing regularly, a second passion of mine, pedal bikes and electric variants.
I believe this will be the future in Cities around the world,
I don't think it is quite there just yet due to the battery technology, but the 'Gocycle' seems one of the more encouraging designs, with a reasonable wheel size, a lot of thought has gone into this design IMHO.
The Segway is technically brilliant, but does require a lot of trust innitially, the bicycle principle, proven over many years has to be the way to go, its crying out for a solar PV panel to be attached..

And a basic review by someone or other.
