Re: Off-Road Segway

I'm holding out for the version with Cragars, white letter tires, dual exhaust, air shocks and a 500 Watt stereo (oversize speakers mounted on the back, of course)

- Oops, I thought it was 1978 again.

How can the segway have dual exhaust if it runs on batteries, and if you put oversized speakers on it, wouldn't it lean to one side and mess with the gyro-technology? The white letter tires seem to be a good idea for someone who is bored with his/her Segway's plain tires.

Not Nessesarily. The gyro should compensate for that and keep it upright.

As for me, I'll wait for bias ply red lines.

A hybrid segway would just add more air pollution (not that I care since I live in a small town and pollution is less common). However, this theory depends on how big the exhaust would be. If it was a medium to small exhaust, then their wouldn't be much of a problem.

It needs the dual exhaust for the whistle tips. The speakers go on the back, and it is designed to balance forward and backwards, so no problem.

If the tires are boring, get some chromed rims.

Re: Off-Road Segway

Hmm, you don't really nned those tires. I've seen a regular segway go up a pretty steep hill. It wasn't covered in woodchips, but it was some tightly packed, moist dirt.

Re: Off-Road Segway

Heck with off-road, I leave that to my truck with 24 inch clearance. But what I really need is something to pull up to the club with. While Segway spinners would be hot, I'm thinking a bit bigger, like rolling up on chrome 22 inch Spinners, a DVD player and screen, throw in a PS2, some 15 inch subs, tweeters with a GEQ, and a cooler for your beverage of choice. Ohh and not to forget the underglow, and hyper white head lamp. I just want to see a pimped out Segway. Personally I think an off-road segway is a bad idea.

The dual exhaust is for the Rolls-Royce Model 250 he slapped on that puppy. Just wait Chris decks out his 'burban

.....Segway with a 250 horsepower Model 250 C20 Engine....Great Scott, I just realized that would have more horsepower than 2 of my monster SC2 Saturns....Unless I put the "burban" engine in the Saturn...then we'll see what's what!

Why don't segways come in many different colors? I've only seen grey and one black. Suppose I want a shiny red segway!
