The Segway of the 50's

I guess this was before they added handles, motors and gyros.

That brings back memories.

I think we had one of those when I was a little kid. Damn thing was hard if not impossible to steer though. Got 1000 times more use out of my skateboard (which came out when I was 13 or 14).

Good question! That's what I was thinking! :)

Couldn't you just walk and then jog if you want to go quicker - looks like less effort than that contraption.

in heels too lol

The duoped.... :1orglaugh
they should have called it the twisted ankle.

They should have marketed it for straight people. "The Duoped, for bi(pedal) people that like to go straight"

I had my volume down and honestly read it and sounded it out in my head as the duped and it seemed fitting.

ahh the 50's, the time of wine and roses

Why does that look like a POW camp in the back ground?

Someone should reinvent that with gears for high speed and jumping like the pogostick.

Strap in stylin sneakers :)

I remember riding one of those when I was little..
