SegSeat

I was reading my daily does of blogs, and this popped up on several of them,

Meet SegSeat, the aftermarket addition to your favorite thing on 2 wheels. A pretty ingenious addition to the segway, the seat slides on rails and can be adjusted to fit the rider. Best of all, there are multiple models for the different segways out there. I guess someone just wanted to sit down.

Re: SegSeat

...wow...whats next? sound systems? spinners?...even better Mecanum wheels and AM transmissions ...anyway, if i owned a Segway, i would probably buy one.

::edit:: I didnt see the website, this is actually really cool, like one of those ideas that are soo obvious, nobody would ever think of it.

Coming up next on Pimp My Ride:

Yo man, here is the real deal. A two-oh-oh-six Segway I-one-eighty, with stock rims, stock fenders, and two 3 horse motors that red-line at twelve point five miles per hour. Get ready, because I'm going pimp this ride!

So you wanna be a player, but your wheels ain't flying. You gotta hit us up, to get a pimped out ride.

You gotta pimp my ride... You gotta pimp my ride...




And the aftermath of that show:

To be more specific. The SegSeat has provided amazing opportunities to disabled individuals who were unable to benefit from the Segway as it was manufactured, but could benefit from the "SegSeat".

The control shaft is strong enough for that?
