Easy Riding: Taurus is Sexy Segway/Bike Combo
Segways are cool, and a lot of fun; but unless you're Gob from Arrested Development, they're kind of dorky looking.
The sexy machine below is the Taurus, a concept designed by Erik Lanuza. It's described as a Segway with a seat and can be controlled by leaning back and forth. Best of all, it doesn't look at all dorky, though admittedly, the hot girl in the orange jumpsuit isn't an accurate depiction of what us norms would look like riding this thing.
But, Lanuza wasn't aiming for sex appeal with the Taurus. Rather, the designer was eager to create a space efficient, zero emissions electric vehicle for transport in cities. It's just a concept for now but we're sincerely hoping someone at Segway decides this thing just needs to be made into a reality.

Needs to be lowered and given a more performance motorbike riding position lol
Looks fun.
looks like the contraption mr garrison invented
Awesome! suppose it will have the same issues with being on the UK roads such as the lack of an emergency brake? ((HOPE NOT))
SIGHN ME UP IF NOT!
Adding a motorcycle seat to a Segway is like putting a cherry on top of your sloppy joe.
Dude, they completely ripped off the Uno.
Those pictures make me want to punch somebody.
We at Segway knew what you were thinking - this thing is too expensive and impractical.
Well, we heard what you had to say and created something just as impractical and more expensive. Best of all, you can control the acceleration with your butt!
In all seriousness though, I have to wonder what the expected adoption rate for the tauras will be or if it's just as others have hailed "A segway with a motorcycle seat".
It makes you look like you are riding the mecha version of the cartoon roadrunner.
Id take the girl over the bike
This thing is an irresponsible road hazard. It will likely cause many accidents due to distraction when other drivers catch a glimpse and then take their eyes off the road when the LOL so hard.
Tour Ass?
Looks like another failure product due to overpricing. For me I'd rather buy a new bicycle than this
looks like the contraption mr garrison invented
Its better than flying!
Don't know why but this brought back memories of a book I once read called "The Mote in God's Eye".
"the hot girl in the orange jumpsuit"
Umm, she's not really all that hot.
"Id take the girl over the bike"
But I agree...
Yeah I wouldn't be caught dead riding that thing, walking seems like a better alternative.
It looks kind of awkward to ride, both physically and socially.
We need a flying segway
Yeah, a transportation product named the Taurus. No one's ever done that before.
Also Ms. Orange jumpsuit is probably hotter than many of us have at home, but the getup they put her in for the pic takes away 2 points, at least.
Seems for those who are too lazy to stand on segway...
its like a morotised wheel chair
I duuno what's the hate about. I like it. Very Star-Trekish.
You know what would make this better? If it had 4 wheels and was more like a chair with a back rest... Wait, that is a wheel chair.
Nice, now we can all evolve into those obese lifeless people in Wall-E...
The problem I've had with things like this is that I live in a northern climate - these won't do winter well. Second, where I live, it's still a fight to get decent bicycle paths put in so one can ride safely. These things would absolutely have to have their own lanes. Cars are already crowded and drivers distracted without adding this to the mix.
In other words, we'd need some social changes to take place before we could see wide use. It's possible, but just manufacturing and selling them won't bring about the needed changes.
Still, I bet they would be fun to cruise around on.
News flash now it's "completely" dorky looking!
Not quite sure what to say here..........I'll try not to laugh but so hard if I see someone on one?!?
I wonder if the adult industry would make use of it?
