Did you know Segway is making a pair of self-balancing roller shoes? It is! The company
has been tinkering with all sorts of new form factors since it was acquired by Ninebot in 2015,
from half-sized Segways to kick scooters. Next up: inline… shoe… platform things.
Called the Segway Drift W1s, they sorta look like what would happen if you took a hoverboard
(as in the trendy 2016 hoverboard-that-doesn’t-actually-hover “hover”board, not Marty McFly’s
hoverboard), split it in two and plopped one half under each foot.It released a video
demonstrating the shoes a few weeks back. Just watching it makes me feel like I’ve
bruised my tailbone, because I’m clumsy as hell.
