Re: New Batteries, New Segways, New Options, Oh my!

Im glad to see Segway going after these specialized markets they originally shunned.

How many people here purchased their own shopping cart?

How many people here USE a shopping cart every week?

Segway has to find its sweet-spot market, its optimum applications. If thats golf courses or resort rentals or airports... whatever it is that gets production numbers way up, that will bring the manufacturing cost way down

and the sell price of the base models will then drop.

I think the reason Segway was able to release the GT and the XT was because of the new batteries, they allowed for different applications.

The new segway was featured in the newest Popular Science magazine as well.
