Segway's!!

[JK8]

So my cousing bought a Segway last week, I was riding... driving it and its awesome!!!

Last night I couldnt get off!! I want one!!
Anyone else rode one of them before?

 

[BCO]

Never tried one. Looks kinda fun though, but I'd rather ride my bicycle and get some exercise.

 

[Ecco]

Where would you use one of these things?

I can see the benefit in having them in like a huge warehouse, where you constantly need to go up and down, or for security guards to patrol a parking lot.

Other then that, i cant see anybody buying these just for "fun" or to get around.

By the way how much do they cost? I thought i heard they cost about R30k - which i though was a crazy price.

 

[xrapidx]

I think they're more than R30k.

 

[Ecco]

I think they're more than R30k.

Then its just ridiculous, that much for a small unit like that, you could get one of those motorised scooters for a 10th of the price and it would do the same job. Or am i am mission something?

 

[xrapidx]

Probably missing the coolness factor

I want one of those off-road seqways

 

[Peder]

i wanted one till i realised the price was out of my reach...

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

A lot of money to pay for something that you would be embaressed to be seen on... Still looks like fun...

He bought two at an auction.

They have a purpose but in SA... not so much, mainly used by car guards and at some resorts.

Its not just a little motorised unit, it balances itself and to move foward you just gently press down with the front of your foot, use your heel to slow down and stop. It has a throttle on the handle but only used for turning.

Its the way of the future!!
