Go to Post It is a difficult balancing act - we're engineers because we like to solve problems, and to take a step back and let someone else solve it, with what may be a poorer solution, is darn hard. - DonRotolo [more]

Re: pic: Police Segway in Mexico City

And a day later, the local news are reporting about it:


http://www.local.co.il/raanana/6742/articles.htm

Quote:
For the first time in Israel: Ra'anana City Inspectors will patrol the city's streets on a Segway - an electric and enviormental-friendly vehicle

The Municipality of Ra'anana continues to act for enviormental protection. In these days, Ra'anana has turned into the first municipality in Israel to use the electric-powered Segway: The two-wheeled vehicle is used by the City Inspectors that enforce the parking rules in the city's main park and main street.

As part of the Cooperation made with UMT (previously known as Segway Israel), it has been decided to conduct a pilot in Ra'anana, in which the first two-wheeled vehicle will be used by the city inspectors.

The Segway is an electric two-wheeled vehicle that is used for driving on sidewalks at a speed of 13 Km/h. Driving the Segway is permited for those above the age of 16 and requires the driver to wear a saftey helmet and have a saftey insurance with him.

The Municipality of Ra'anana has decided to use the Segway due to the fact that it is a green(enviormental-friendly) electric vehicle that is powered by a battery that can work for 8 hours. Alongside these qualities, the Segway provides mobility, accessablity and saftey while driving at low speeds.

Ra'anana has also purchased an electric mini-bike powered by a 9 hour battery. The mini-bike will be used by the City Inspectors.
P.S
Ra'anana is the home city of FRC Team 1577 - Steampunks from Aviv High School.

Re: pic: Police Segway in Mexico City

Better enjoy it now cause NYPD doesn't let anyone touch their property . You should see how careful I am when getting near their patrol car to ask a question .

NYPD has got a couple now but you don't seem that often, they're mainly in Manhattan where it's difficult to get around even by horse.
