Here's what I like about Japan: throw something -- anything -- geeky out there and someone will make it happen. Someone must have said I wanna see Hatsune Miku riding on a Segway. And believe it or not, it has happened. Sort of.
This model Segway is fully functional and transports a cute papercraft Miku around via remote control. Its creator has renamed it the Miku Miku Segway. Cute. The video above details the full construction of this model. It gets kind of boring, though. Skip through it to see all that was put into it. The payoff after almost 9 minutes is awesome, though.. I want one now.
