Re: The NEW Segway

Hmmm... what is that? It looks like a go-cart with a touch of ORV.

I like it.
I want one.

Talking Re: The NEW Segway

I think it's soo cool. I REALLY want one, but I don't like the overall design of it, mebbe if it was more for the BMX riders it'd be cooler. like if it was made for those sorts of ppl instead of ppl who r too lazy to walk, which is basically what it is, hence human transporter. lol. anyways, i'm so psyched! i really want to ride on one of those

Re: The NEW Segway

well, although it would be fun to try to build one, i am not sure it would be possible. and, if it would be, i cannot see spending that much money on a project. just buy a segway. just the cost of motors alone would drive the cost out of the world.

Re: The NEW Segway

Looks like pre-marketing has begun.
Only $3500

We found this advertisement in the in-flight magazine on our way home from Atlanta.

Re: The NEW Segway

I worked at NextFest at Navy Pier in July and I got to meet the owner of one of these and during take down I got to ride it.
Let me tell you it is the coolest thing I have ever ridden.

Re: The NEW Segway

Looking at those i have no idea how they manage it. It looks like their is no room for motors, electronics, and batteries! Maybe they employ an alternate reality storage system....

Even though I'm not even that much into Segways, I must say that this looks awesome. That would actually be fun to go own.
