Its an auto-balancing no-emissions personal scooter. Basically anyone can ride it, and it doesnt fack up the environment at the same time.

Its a cool idea, and I'd love to have one, but it will look SO SO DORKY.

I'm pretty sure that is the iBot. Kamen still hasn't released details on what the Ginger/IT project is.
