    the thinking behind this hunch was prompted by the Segway, even before it was launched. We thought it was a very interesting problem they were trying to solve and while the technology behind the Segway is impressive we thought there must be a way to do it lighter, simpler, smaller and cheaper. The result is a multi-award winning design that was named in the top 50 inventions of 2009 by Time magazine and has already been sold in 56 countries around the world
