Ferrari branded Segway... when the i2 is just not exclusive enough
What would you expect from a Ferrari-branded Segway? Quick acceleration, fast top-speeds, excellent handling and good looks come to mind. Depending on your point of view (and personal opinion) at least one of those points has been addressed with the aforementioned Ferrari/Segway tie-up. In our opinions, the Ferrari-way looks pretty good, with nice detailing in place to let the world know that this is no ordinary Segway. Appropriately colored racing-red, the machine features the official Scuderia Ferrari logo and a leather handlebar bag. If you want a Segway but previously-available versions were just not exclusive enough for you, you'd better act now -- this is a limited edition.

This is a Photoshop job, right? I call "no way" on this one.

Last week I saw some soon-to-be-obese kids in my neighborhood with a new Segway. Kinda makes you want to puke.

With a racing stripe, no less! Just as silly as the Lamborghini laptop, or the Porsche designed coffe maker and blender.
Ferrari must really be hungry for licensing fees.

It's funny, Segway's actually make a lot of sense. Think about how many times you get in a car, and drive between 3 and 7 miles and never think twice about it. No one would walk 7 miles, and because the car's engine is not warmed it, it's running really inefficiently. These things can go like 30 miles on a charge, so it's perfect for that.
If people would just start to think of ways to replace their short car trips with alternatives, that would result in a massive reduction in emissions.
Plus, the segway charges overnight when there is extra electicity on the grid.
Oh, and when people say segways will make everyone fat -- driving a car isn't exactly cardiovascular exercise.
