A Lego Segway Is As Ridiculously Wonderful As You’d Expect

A Lego Segway Is As Ridiculously Wonderful As You’d Expect


Lego whisperer Simon Burfield has a knack for taking the plastic building toy well past the limits of what it was intended for. His specialty is building rideable creations including a full-sized wheelchair, and now a rather brilliant Segway clone.

It can easily support his weight, and even turns with a pivoting handle. The current version doesn’t self-balance — yet — but that’s totally within his grasp since the ‘Legway’ already has four Mindstorm NXT control modules on board. And Burfield claims he’s already started construction on a larger version that promises to be even more amazing. Can you imagine the size of the box these sets would come in? The building instructions would be as thick as a phone book. [YouTube via Make]
