Well, really, people want to hover. OK, people really want to fly. Like, for reals. But people really want to roll while they wait for the floaty-flying options. Here in the Bay Area, you can&#8217;t walk down the street without tripping over a rentable electric scooter, and non-hovering hoverboards were all the rage until everyone learned that they sucked. Segway, the original self-balancing people mover company, is looking to take this trend further with e-Skates. More specifically, the company introduced the Segway Drift W1 line of e-Skates. These are essentially self-balancing wheels you strap to your feet. Only you don&#8217;t strap them on, you just sort of stand on them and go. I can&#8217;t imagine what could go wrong. Dean Kamen hasn&#8217;t been involved with Segway since 2010, but the company&#8217;s technology is still awesome, and these might just be the bee&#8217;s knees.
