-Most the Segway's I saw in the video were that of the i180 line, which does 12.5 mph, although the original p133 does do 10 mph.
For being of one the few people who have seen the whole thing (they had a private showing at SegwayFest NH) I would have to say that this film is great. Josh and Hunter flew out from Colorado for the private showing and also hung around for the weekend to talk about the film with everyone. They had 6 sets of batteries and their total mileage was somewhere around 4000 miles.
The film itself is much more than a story about just riding a segway across country. After meeting them you could see that these were just 2 average guys with a dream and the determination to achieve it. That is all I will say about the movie, but wish them luck at the film festivals they have submitted to and hope that their movie makes it to public distribution.

Re: 10mph Trailer

I really hope I can get the chance to see the whole documentary, I've watched the trailer about 5 million times and it looks GREAT.

Re: 10mph Trailer

I really want to see that now, I love seeing movies like that its a nice break from the main streem movies that are nothing but ways for actors to make more money.
