Is RYNO's single-wheel electric scooter cooler than a Segway?

However, it only has a maximum range of 20 miles between charges, a top speed that is limited to 12.5mph (the actual top speed of 25mph is limited to keep the RYNO scooter within the more relaxed legal boundaries of "personal mobility scooters"), and it looks like it fell out of a Japanese anime — yes, for some people, that last point is as much a con as it is a pro.

With an expected release date of January 2013, and an MSRP of US$4500, the RYNO scooter is, in my opinion, a compelling last-mile option for commuters.

    That is awesome. If they could up the range a bit more that would be worth it. Though, would hitting the brake a tad hard elicit a face plant? Funny for onlookers, not so much for the rider. LOL
