Segway introduced the S-Pod, an egg-shaped single-person transporter that can reach 24 mph, at CES Las Vegas.

The S-Pod also can be adjusted to scope of its environment. It can travel up to 44 miles, and conventiongoers and social media users likened it to a vehicle out of the future-focused Disney film “WALL-E.”



Segway also unveiled kick-start scooters, an electric bike and a dirt bike aimed at tackling short-distance trips.

The S-Pod self-balances on two wheels while in motion and sits on a third, smaller wheel when stopped.

Riders can operate the S-Pod via a navigation panel and control knob on the right side passenger armrest.
