To tell you the truth, I feel a bit let down by it all, I was expecting something better than a toy. BUT having said that, anything that cuts down traffic in the cities has to be seen as a good thing

It looked pretty cool. People seem to be most excited after they rode one. The fact that it would run for 2hrs on a 1hr charge is great too. It is faster than walking at 17mph.
They will just have to figure out a few things. Like what do you do when it is raining. Another thing that they will have to figure out is security. You have an item that is portable, expensive, and a lot of people want that is to be used in cities, a thieves dream. There will probably be a new wave of segway jacking.

Everytime I see those things and people riding them on the news or whatever, I cant help but to laugh. They look so funny riding them around. Makes me think of the cartoon "The Jetsons", if anyone remembers that one.

Mairving, you said it's expensive...

I think Santa's not gonna give me that
Maybe there'll even be segway-halfpipes and segway races in future

What will they think of next. What I want to know is how do they keep from falling flat on their faces.
I can hear it now....

Boy do I feel guilty! This thing is the epitomy of laziness and my first thought was "what, no seat?" :blush:

The guy who invented this has some amazing things behind him, he did a wheel chair a while back that can climb stairs. I wonder if people could get done for D.U.I (or is it D.U.Y?) - using it after drinking (we call it D.I.C)

Just but a Goped. They are cheaper and faster. The only thing is that they are very loud.
