...Playa’s Only,” featuring The Game, has the most oomph of any non-“Closet” based track (at least for three weeks—after which you will never want to hear it again).

Like the original Human Transporter, the Centaur uses dynamic-stabilization technology (you shift your weight to steer) but adds a thumb throttle for extra oomph. Steering sensors and a computer conspire to make sure you don't topple over when you pop a wheelie...
