Attack of the Clones
Rad2Go Q Electric Chariot If you don't think riding a regular Segway already makes you enough of a target for laughs, insults and rocks, you can always man this cheaper knock-off instead: the Rad2Go Q Electric Chariot. Unlike the Segway, which uses a cool gyroscope system to balance you on two wheels, the Rad2Go model has four wheels and no fancy gyroscope. In fact, as far as we can tell, this is simply a regular old scooter that's been rebuilt to look like a Segway. It features a 10-watt motor that putters along at a top speed of 10 MPH for up to 15 miles on a single charge. Segways top out at 12.5 MPH and get 24 miles per charge. They also cost around $4,500, while a Rad2Go can be yours for just $900. In both cases, you must also fork over your dignity.

RAD2GO is not the only runaround entering the ugly market as Toyota is marketing one also and will be entering the market with it this next year. Toyota, will actually challenge Sedgwick with this product.
