“Types of transport”

Segway

This cool two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle invented by Dean Kamen. Segways are still more of a novelty. Tourists ride Segways around San Francisco, Washington, Chicago, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and Munich and receive guided tours of local attractions.

In some parts of the world, elephants are used for transportation. In Thailand, for example, you can go “elephant trekking” to tour the country.

Hot air balloon

Enjoy some fresh air as you drift among the clouds… This way of travelling has existed since the 17th century. Hot air balloons can get you from point A to B surprisingly fast if you catch the wind at the right time. In fact, several adventurers have flown around the world in two to three weeks.

Тhe Tuktuk.

The tuktuk is Thailand’s local version of a taxi. Tuktuks are great for buzzing around the busy and crowded streets, as they can easily squeeze through the smallest gaps in the traffic. However, this also means that you will experience the ride of your life.

In the older parts of Kyoto (Japan), where cars are not able to travel through, you can see the traditional rickshaws – a human powered passenger carriage with two huge wheels.

This 72-foot-long “motorcycle” is as long as a tennis court and rocks 25 seats.
