Segway Launches 2 New Scooters:

Riding on the new version of Segway Inc.'s self-balancing electric scooter is ''very similar to skiing,'' according to the company's chief technology officer.

That's because a new batch of technology in the second generation of the Segway, which was unveiled Monday, allows users to steer the device simply by leaning in the direction they want to go, rather than using a handlebar, said Segway Chief Technology Officer Doug Field.
