Slimmed-Down Segways

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Ewee-Pt is a Bare-Bones Alternative Personal Transportation Vehicle

— August 1, 2010 — Autos
Ewee is hoping that you'll ditch your fat, old Segway for something slimmer and sexier in the form of the Ewee-Pt. I always thought the Segway could stand to lose a few.

The Ewee-Pt is controlled by leaning forward to accelerate and by leaning backwards to decelerate. A joystick controls the steering letting you seamlessly weave your way around chubbier and less nimble Segways. Check out the video for the Ewee-Pt above and click on the links if you think this stripped-down Segway is right for you.
Trend Themes
1. Slimmed-down Personal Transportation Vehicles - The rise of slimmed-down personal transportation vehicles like the Ewee-Pt presents an opportunity for companies to disrupt the traditional Segway market.
2. Lean-based Acceleration and Deceleration - The trend towards lean-based acceleration and deceleration in personal transportation vehicles offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies looking to create more intuitive and compact alternatives to traditional methods.
3. Seamless Steering Control - The demand for seamless steering control, like the joystick used in the Ewee-Pt, opens up possibilities for companies to create more agile and user-friendly personal transportation devices.
Industry Implications
1. Personal Transportation - The personal transportation industry can capitalize on the trend of slimmed-down vehicles and innovative steering systems to offer consumers more efficient and enjoyable modes of transportation.
2. Recreational Vehicles - The recreational vehicle industry can tap into the demand for lean-based acceleration and deceleration, providing consumers with exciting and adventurous alternatives to traditional forms of transportation.
3. Tourism and Sightseeing - The tourism and sightseeing industry can adopt slimmed-down personal transportation vehicles with seamless steering control to enhance the experience for travelers, making it easier and more enjoyable to explore new destinations.
