The WalkCar is a device small and light enough to fit in a laptop bag that can travel at a little over 6 mph for around 7 miles -- with you riding on it. It has no problem braving steep inclines even when carrying a pretty heavy load. You control it by leaning your body from side to side, and if you want to stop, you just step off. The device will cost around $800, if and when it comes to market.

On paper, the WalkCar solves a lot of the problems that held the Segway back -- its price, size, and portability. But at the end of the day, it's still a lot slower than a bike, and bikes already have existing infrastructure in place to support their use. As cool as this device is, we're still not sold on the concept as a form of widespread personal transportation.
