It then took up residence at Hong Kong Disneyland Hong Kong Disneyland  until May 2013, before getting at month at Epcot in Oct 2013. It also was brought to events at TED talks 2007


and Pixar, both TED and Pixar were March 2007


They did a 7 minute comedy show. This two-wheeled vehicle uses the same technology as a Segway, but with a remote control and two-way communication. No one is hidden inside and no one is visible with a remote control.

The Muppets' vehicle is equipped with flashing lights, rotating signs, bubble jets, smoke sprayers, water misters, confetti cannons, and even a built-in gorilla detector.

Cross a wheelchair with a Segway scooter and you get an intuitive, hands-free wheelchair that promises new levels of freedom for paraplegics.


Working to help a friend who was paralyzed in a skiing accident, engineer Kevin Halsall spent four years modifying a Segway to become a wheelchair. The user simply leans in the direction they want to go — no need for even a joy-stick to make it move.

The two powered wheels can be changed quickly for all-terrain tires, allowing a user to race down a sandy beach at 12 mph — the average adult running speed or twice as fast as most people jog.
