So this is the egg that Segways hatch from: The Camper Lotus, designed as "a personal commuter" for China in 2012. Seats 2, is rechargeable and is balanced by gyroscope technology. "With zero emissions, it offers a means of helping to achieve cleaner air. For comfort, it offers customisable personal space both inside and out. Its small footprint allows easy parking, and it is rechargeable with household electricity. Lotus may be customised and retailed both online and in showrooms. Short-term leasing options on parts such as external polycarbonate panels may be ideal so customers are able to enjoy updated looks, and old parts can be properly recycled." Turns on a dime, too. Interesting design concept from ::Patty Yuan via ::Yanko
