Bye-bye Segway. You were big & expensive.

When it comes to visions of the future in transportation, there are two versions we just can't get out of our heads: the flying cars from The Jetsons and the amazing hoverboard that Marty McFly rode with so much style in Back to the Future Part II. Face it: Our reality is far more mundane. But a new "personal motorized transporter," just might make us feel like we're living in the future.

Available in red, white, blue and black, the Skateway is a two-wheeled, platform-only scooter that runs on electricity and has a range of about 10 to 12 miles on a full charge. Remember when McFly MacGyvered a skateboard from a wheeled wooden crate in the original Back to the Future? Well, if he'd done the same thing to a Segway, it would look like a Skateway.

It was designed for people of all ages to improve and increase their personal mobility. "All ages" might be pushing it, but anyone — up to a weight of 280 pounds — can get comfortable on the Skateway in three to five minutes, and become fully proficient within 20 to 30 minutes. Just stand on the footboards, and then let your muscles do the rest. Much like the Segway, the Skateway responds to the way your body leans, whether that's forward, backward or to the sides.

Unlike the Segway, which has an upright, elbow-height set of handles to help with fatigue, the Skateway has no such allowances for those who might not have the strongest core muscles. In fact, riding it can be "strenuous", as your body gets acclimated to standing on the device. But once you relax and get used to it, the Skateway's full range can be comfortably achieved.

Topping out at 6 mph (10 km/h), riders won't run the risk of breaking any posted speed limits.

If you do want one, you can purchase it for $800.
