I have heard those things are not easy to use. Got to ride one at a conference in NYC in '06. I think I crashed a few times as well.
I'm wondering how feasible they really are. Where would they best be deployed? It's almost like you'd need a separate pedestrian lane for just those, like the current sidewalk and bike lane. I don't know.

Our local university TSU has some in use. Large, spread-out campus and miles of sidewalks. Steps are a problem. They are very useful in manufacturing plants, like for robotics techs, etc. to cover thousands of sq ft instead of walking. I considered a franchise a couple years back. They is potential but I was afraid of the liabilities. Now the off-road model is cool, like even for the golf course.Originally Posted by mrtr33

The NYPD have a full regiment of Segwayers. No offense, but the stereotype remains true for many NYPD'ers and they certainly don't need less walking.

Our School Resource Officers use them. We are also using them for events like the fair and downtown events. I'll stick to the old fashioned methods of getting from point A to point B.
For those of you wanting pics...Tuff shit.

The people who have the hang of using them make it look easy. What makes them crash hitting a rock or crack in the pavement? You would think its like riding a bike once you find the balance your all set.

This was from a couple of years ago. Maybe they got some of the bugs worked out, but it seems there's a lot more to it than there is to riding a bike.

Cigars? Yes please!
