UPDATE BELOW AMAZON MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just recieved an email from amazon.com stating that the Segway will not be available for the foreseeable future. I checked out Amazon.com and found nothing there, but what does this mean???


No Segway for the people. Well the people want thier HT's!

I think it is just taking too lond and Amazon just said eh we've had enough.


Hope to see a Segway under my xmas tree this year!!!!!!!!

I just recieved another email from amazon.com regarding the SHT

read below...

Greetings from Amazon.com.

You recently received an e-mail from us regarding the Segway Human
Transporter (also known as "Ginger" or "IT"). This e-mail was sent
accidentally by an automated system and the information in it is
incorrect.

In fact, there is no new information on Segway's
availability. Consumer versions of Segway Human Transporters are
currently being piloted in various communities throughout the U.S.
The Segway HT is expected to be released to the general consumer
market in 2003.

We apologize for the confusion. We will keep your e-mail address on
our list of customers who wish to be notified about this item.

Sincerely,
Amazon.com Customer Service

Segway is probably just delaying the launch due to the fact that 30 or so states have Segway laws. Why releas a product to only 3/5 of the US? I think they will wait till more laws are passed.

What's this about laws against segway?

I'm very interested to know what you mean. I've not heard nothing about it.

Why would they be banned when they aren't even out?

i think they just mean they are waiting till all the states have laws on the regulations of them, so not just anyone is riding them around
