VertiPod is Segway of the sky The VertiPod carries you about in a similar manner as the Segway…except for the fact that this device keeps you afloat between five to 15 feet above the ground and boasts a top speed of 40mph. Steering it is pretty easy – all you need to do is lean towards the right direction and you’re good to go. Each purchase comes as a self-assembly kit, so it is time to break open that hardware box in your home.

The VertiPod comes with a $10,000 price tag along with a petrol or ethanol engine.

Do they count as a motorist or pedestrian?
