Segway scooter!

[Glaucus]

not worth it as it's illegal to ride on pavement and roads. Making it usless.

This is a law goverment should be changing, people who drive a couple of miles to work, these would be a great cheap alternative to a car. Which has *** benefit of lower emmisions and take far less room up on the roads.

i cant see anyone saying much if you ride one on the pavements, i see those
mobility scooters on paths all the time and theyre driven by wreckless old people

You mean like, say, a bicycle?

Yes, but a bicycle requires effort. A segway doesn't

£3500 for a glorified pogo stick on wheels?

Elrazur. In all honesty... is your friend MAD?

could be useful for elderly people who arent able to ride a bike but are able to stand up ok

A bicycle is also about 35 times cheaper.

Like walking sticks and zimmer frames. Which also double as a form of physiotherapy.

Nah, he's a gadget freak like me, the only difference is that he's got the money and i dont. If i do, i will buy one and i dont think im mad!

Hmm, nice idea. If 2999 more are willing to paypay a quid each then im in.

Let's get it started...

You'd be better off giving the money to me tbh.

I'm a gadget freak, but I'd still not by one (mainly because the only place you can use it is on private land, and the 20m x 8m patch out the back is all grass).

Doesn't surprise me that GWB fell off. What surprises me is that no-one tried to sue when he did.

Also, they had a pair of them in the Top Gear studio last year.

Segways have been famous since U.S. President George W. Bush fell from one, an act touted as impossible by Segway themselves due to the machine's self-righting gyro system.

Conclusive evidence- if it were needed- that when man invents an idiot- proof machine, God invents a better idiot.

Illegal. Pointless. Gay. Expensive. End.

The normal persons walking day is something along the lines of:

Front door then a 5m walk to the car (give or take a few meters) then home.
From the car about a 5m walk to the place of work (give or take a few meters) then home.
And on Saturdays work is replaced with the local supermarket

I don’t see any situations in ones normal day where they would actually be used. Expensive coat hanger IMHO.
