Orbis is more maneuverable than a Segway

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on August 10th, 2009

Orbis is more maneuverable than a SegwayThe Orbis has it all over the Segway. It’s half as big as the Segway, has easier maneuverability in tight spots and folds down for storage. It also sports a 13 mph top speed and is battery powered. Eat it Segway.

It isn’t all awesomeness though. It has some obvious balance issues. Those can be worked out though with some time and money. At the moment it’s just a concept, but a good one. It will likely come to pass, since this thing is like the hot rod of the Segway culture.

We’ll be honest, we just want to see people fall off this thing. We hope it becomes a reality.

    Don’t you just love it when people say ‘concept’ instead of ‘idea’.

    Makes the non-existent product seem all that more real.

    Y’know, I’ve noticed that nobody uses the word “segue” anymore.
    Lines like “How’s that for a segue!” have been replaced by ones like “I have no transition!”
