I applaud the rigors he put the Segway through in testing. The production model will really be rugged.

Anyone own a Segway?

RIP, My Brother. I've Seen The Segways Up Close But Never Ridden One. They Look Awesome!

RIP... He only owned Segway for a short time (I think he owned the company less than a year). I do have a Segway and they are really easy (and fun) to ride. I use my when I golf

Watch for the safety sticker that says that Segways don't fly.

Correct. The inventor sold it to him. The inventor is from Manchester, NH, well the plant is, he actually lives in Bedford NH. Amazing guy I've heard, never met him but know people that have been to his house and I guess it's like an inventor's museum up there!!!!
