The Segbike by A. Gautam

The Segbike has been hailed as a masterpiece in the history of transportation. Since its invention in 2001, this unique mode of transport has created a revolution. The very expensive and huge rotating tires are impossible to tip over unless tried by someone as famous as diplomats or governors. In fact, it has changed the lives of tourists whose legs are too tired to roam around a new destination. More importantly, mall cops have used it to chase petty criminals for a few years now. We cannot imagine our lives today without the mall cops chasing after thieves while trying to pass mothers who are dragging their hyper children in strollers.
