Doing wheelies

OK, so you don’t want to take the Historic Trolley when touring Naples. You want to get up-close and personal with all the beautiful natives…Well, here’s another alternative – a Segway Human Transporter! This self-balancing,two-wheeled Segway sports a high-tech gyroscopes that automatically respond to your body’s movements, “sensing” when it should speed up and slow down.

You stand on a small platform between left and right wheels as you hold onto handlebars at a waist height. The Segway handles the balancing for you, so that you’re always upright as you glide through the city.

And if you fall (!) in love with this form of transportation – you can take one home with you. For the right price, of course
