The "Orbis" portable segway is the ultimate upgrade in urban mobility. With just one wheel, the electrically run Orbis uses gyroscopes (responsible for generating power from an internal hub motor and lithium ion battery) to independantly balance itself, while the rider reaches a maximum speed of 22km/h, throughout the city streets.

Weighing-in at 25Ibs, the Orbis segway can be collapsed for easy storage.
