Called S-Pod, this electric vehicle lets riders sit comfortably while powering the two-wheeled machine using a small joystick attached to the seat. The S-Pod can hit speeds of 25 miles per hour and travel for about 44 miles on a single charge. Similar to the original Segway scooter, the S-Pod also balances on two wheels as it travels. However, a smaller third wheel has been added to the front for the vehicle to rest on when it comes to a stop. Riders simply move a small joystick attached to the seat to guide the pod – similar to how the gryosphere in Jurassic World worked. For those who may not be comfortable using the joystick, the control pad can be removed, allowing the S-Pod to be controlled remotely. The vehicle can hit speeds of almost 25 miles per hour and depending on the terrain, travel for 44 miles. The company told The Verge that the S-Pod will debut in the third quarter of 2020 and that it plans to sell them to the public after that, possibly in 2021 – a price for the vehicle has yet to be revealed. The S-Pod will make its debut at Consumer Electronics Show 2020 next week in Las Vegas, Nevada. The firm is also set to display a new electric moped and a new electric scooter at the event. Developed in conjunction with Ninebot, a Chinese robotics and transportation company that acquired Segway in 2015, the models are intended for mid- to long-range use, unlike Segway’s original, self-balancing standing transporter. The most powerful variation of the Ninebot eScooter, called the E200P, will use dual lithium-ion batteries, reach top speeds of 62mph, go from 0 to 25mph in three seconds, and be able to travel as far as 124 miles on a single charge. The eMoped will come in three variations, all of which will use lithium-ion batteries.

A mid-range option will run for 37 miles. All three models will hit a top speed of 15 miles per hour, and come with pedals to ensure users can keep moving even after the battery charge runs out.
