Dean's new SEGWAY!
Well Dean has went crazy again with his Segway. It's about time he released a picture of his step climbing Segway. It also can be used for driving in snow and sand!

Tell us what you think

I'd say you're a bad artist.

Putting the base below the axle screws up the entire balancing mechanism. It can't balance the rider if the mass is below the axle.

Talking What are you talking about? I am not the artist!
THIS is dean's Invention!!! It can too balance, the base is connected the central pivot point. The base on the standard Segway is below the axle, therfore all the weight is below the axle.

Explain your Idea using a diagram!

The CG will not be below the axle (after the rider gets on because they weigh more than the Segway), but if the base is below the axle, it will be more inclined to balance w/o any gyros, etc.

...And you are a bad artist
