Segway-Ninebot's S-Pod

Segway-Ninebot was at CES showing off its personal "transporting pod" called the S-Pod, an egg-shaped electric scooter that quickly drew comparisons to the hover chairs seen in the Disney-Pixar animated film "Wall-E."

The S-Pod is essentially an electric wheelchair, but the company sees it being useful for quickly moving around enclosed spaces like campuses, theme parks, and malls, for example.

It's one of many electric mobility devices that was on display at CES, where many automakers and other firms showcased vehicles that could make transportation more efficient, especially in cities.
