EPCOT: What are those things called

[WindowsJB]

Last August, we saw a two-wheeled personal vehicle demonstrated somewhere in Innoventions. It's hard to describe what they look like, but if you have seen them, you know what I'm talking about. They have handlebars similar to a bicycle, a platform for a "driver" to stand on, and two wheels on a axle. They are self balancing thanks to a gyroscope mechanism somewhere inside of them. If anyone know the official name of this machine, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jared

A kid in our neighborhood has one. My 12 year old DD is jealous, calls her a "spoiled brat!" Believe me there are plenty of those around here!! Anyway, I tell her to put on her K-Mart skates or jump on her Target bike and get some excercise...LOL...Lacee

OMG! I love those things. I've been meaning to ask what they were, myself. Evertime I've seen one in Epcot, I tell DH that he has to get me one. LOL!

$5000! I guess I won't be getting one, after all...

Don't worry, by this time next year they will probably be about half that...

THEN YOU CAN BUY 2!!!
