- Segway-Ninebot, the company behind a slew of motorized personal vehicles, recently debuted its newest product - a personal egg-shaped "transporting pod" called the S-Pod.
- The company showed off the S-Pod this week at the consumer tech show CES 2020, where I was able to try it out, even though it's not on sale yet to the public.
- I found it incredibly difficult to control my speed and steering while test driving the S-Pod, and I was nervous during my run that I would cause a collision.

Segway's personal "transporting pod" was shown off this week at CES 2020 for the first time since the company debuted the egg-shaped scooter as its newest product.
The S-Pod is essentially an electric wheelchair. It can hit speeds of up to 24 mph, and comes with a navigation pad to manually point the vehicle in the direction you want to go.
Although the vehicle is not available to the public, the S-Pod was unveiled this week at CES 2020, the year's biggest consumer tech show taking place in Las Vegas. I was able to test drive the S-Pod around a small track, where I was got a sense of how the vehicle's steering and acceleration works.
Here's my experience testing at the Segway-Ninebot S-Pod, which is not yet up for sale to consumers:
