Segway

Segway-Ninebot has rolled on into the autonomous lawn mower space with a robotic gardening solution that goes a little further than most, using GPS to navigate gardens with a high degree of precision.

Segway-Ninebot has rather sensationally announced that it's building a hydrogen fuel cell sportsbike – and boy does this thing look like it glitched its way out of Cyberpunk 2077, complete with a highly improbable steering design and an amazing price.

Segway-Ninebot has rolled out a more powerful version of its electric Gokart, which will not only nudge the speedometer that little bit higher, but offer even more sideways action thanks to a new built-in drifting assistant system.

At the end of last year, Segway gave us a glimpse of a few of its upcoming urban mobility electric two-wheelers, including an eMoped. Now the company has put that C80 model up for pre-order on Indiegogo.

One of the most iconic inventions of the 21st century is about to be retired. The Segway PT self-balancing scooter will officially cease production next month. It’ll no doubt leave a lasting legacy – albeit probably not the one the company intended.

Earlier this year, Segway-Ninebot revealed a bunch of electric mobility products, most notably the S-Pod armchair on wheels. A stylish electric kickscooter was also showcased, and now it has been launched on Kickstarter.

Prior to its acquisition by Ninebot, Segway was mostly known for its self-balancing people mover that never quite captured the general public's imagination. With the S-Pod, Segway returns to its self-balancing roots with an electric chair-on-wheels.

Since being acquired by China's Ninebot, Segway has moved far beyond its self-balancing electric personal transporter roots. And now Segway-Ninebot has unveiled the eMoped and eScooter, together with a motorcycle concept called the Apex.

These days Segway-Ninebot is about far more than oddball personal mobility machines. Driving the point home at SEMA 2019, the company has turned up with its first electric dirt bikes, offering thrill seekers a couple of new ways to venture off-road.

Every now and then, an invention comes along that makes us wonder how we ever lived without it – but those are in the minority. New Atlas rounds up the weirdest and wackiest inventions that left us scratching our heads this year.

​For better or worse, you could rarely accuse Segway (now known as Segway-Ninebot) of failing to think outside the box, and the Ninebot Electric Gokart is yet another quirky contraption from the personal transportation company.

​Back in June, Segway-Ninebot announced some e-Skates called the Drift W1, which made use of Segway's self-balancing know-how to put a single chunky wheel in each skate. The company brought some to IFA 2018 in Berlin, so naturally we had to try them out.​
