Attack of the Clones

Attack of the ClonesRad2Go 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.
