 Power tools don't hurt people. Poorly instructed people hurt themselves, using power tools. - sanddrag [more] |

Re: Segway Knock-offs
It really can't be compared to a Segway- they are completely different machines. I've seen these floating around on ebay for a good number of months, and the only similarity to the segway they have is the intention of moving people without walking. They don't self balance (they have stability wheels on the back of the platform), they're dirt cheap (I've seen then go for under $500), and far more dangerous than a seg (hit a bump at a decent speed and you'll fly forward). I'll let this auction speak for itself.
