Wetass Gear Garage–EasyGlider: F*ck the Segway. It’s too complex, too heavy, and too expensive. Typical American overengineering. And when you want precise engineering, who do you go to? The Swiss, of course. So if you are so damn lazy that you can’t bother to walk anywhere anymore, the folks in lederhosen have just the thing for you (due out in October): the EasyGlider, which is basically a big electric wheel that weighs just 22 kilograms, can travel up to 35 kilometers on a single charge, and will cost around $1000. You just strap on your in-line skates, hop on your skateboard, or use the EasyGlider wheeled platform (not shown), and off you go. No word on the top speed yet, or cornering ability. But I can already see the Segway-EasyGlider Death Match in which two obese lazy-assess try to knock each other down, or race their personal transporters from Paris to Dakar…
