In 2001 the future of personal transportation was unveiled in the form of the Segway. The 2 wheeled electric vehicle was predicted to "be to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy". It didn't quite turn out that way. It is still out there and is still selling moderately, but not nearly as well as the inventors had hoped. But the Segway's lack of success has by no means discuraged others from trying to come up with the answers to the burning question: what will be the transportation of tomorrow?
Now cars are cars, and allthough their design can be changed and tweeked a bit here and there, they remain in essence... cars. But how about some other means of transport?

The Uno is something completely new. A one wheeled... motorcycle? Except off course it isn't exactly ONE wheeled. It has in fact two wheels side-by-side making it appear as one. The design is spectacular and rather alarming - surely it can't be safe?!?

  
Then there's the ecologically sound enclosed electric motorcycle designed by students at Saint Thomas Academy. It's... ahhh... green. And rather quaint looking, but hardly sleek and cool enough to be a big seller anytime soon.

 
Much better looking is the upcoming TGV manufactured Side-Bike Celtik and Zeus. The are insanely cool and will turn heads anywhere they go (once released), but to be honest... they are basically just pimped up traditional trike and sidecar, so not very innovative.


Innovative is the single seater electric car HUVO from Japanese Topia Corp. It weighs a mere 150kg because of the unique combination of materials used in its build. And it looks futuristic.


But if none of the above options tickles your fancy, there is one future vehicle left to check out. Not a very likely future perhaps, but who knows what tomorrow brings, right? Behold.... the Batpod:


Now THAT'S something to look forward to.
