It Appears That Walking,

is slowly going out of fashion,

as yet another people mover is unveiled, this one called the Hovertrax, it is an electric transporter reminiscent of a skateboard moving sideways, it employs the same technology as Segways, gyro tech, the gyroscope measures orientation and rotation, the gyro tech in the Hovertrax calculates the orientation and rotation of your feet on its board and moves accordingly, i.e. if you lean forward it moves forward,

the Hovertrax's board consists of two independently moving foot pedals connected to two separate motors, if you rotate both feet forward, it moves forward, rotate just your right foot, and the right motor accelerates, causing you to turn left and vice versa, and of course, leaning backwards will cause you to move backwards, with the Hovertrax, you can glide on the pavements, turn any way you please and spin in circles, at $995 its not a cheap means of fun, but odds are you'll certainly stand out on one, not for me I am afraid, I'll take the motorbike!
