Ulrich Kahlert has invented a Handsfree Transporter that functions much like the Segway but, of course, without the need to use one’s hands. I remember the freedom I felt riding my 10-speed with my hands held high, as well as the times when an ill-placed obstacle sent me flying into space. Almost, I’d say, as it looks like this model is about to do. If she weren’t smiling, I’d imagine she were grasping for something to save her scantily-clothed hide. But, it it works, it does have a leg up on the segway (pun might be intended), because there are many instances where having ones hands free would be a distinct advantage. Which is my "duh" statement for the day.
