Two great inventions collide into one Centaur-looking beast. Well, the upper half of a Centaur. It also looks like a sea horse. That’s besides the point.

If $4,000 is chump change, put it down on these custom hand-made people movers. Catalonian designers Bel & Bel took actual Vespa scooter parts and mashed them up on the Segway PT. They call the end result the Zero Scooter.

It carries someone up to 400 lbs, hits a top speed of 12 mph and a range of about 20 miles. Be prepared to get plenty of attention on the streets.

This hoverboard-like device lets you glide around the city like Marty McFly. Tilt forward and back to control your ride. The unit hits up to 12 mph with a range of 4-6 miles. Recharging takes about 20 mins to 2 hours. It looks like a fun toy that beats walking like the plebeians with their ‘feet’ and all.
