I saw him using that on one of the newer shows after recently seeing a video about it online, needless to say I want one. All the fun of a segway with with 10 times the geekiness and only half the pretentiousness.

This would kill my back after lets say, 30 minutes od riding 🙂
But very very cool indeed.
