I haven't seen that yet. There was a whole article on that in Wired magazine. They were supposed to be sold to postal departments, but most towns thought there would be too much pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks. I have no idea how that could pass in Manhattan.

I like it.
Open your mind.
Think of the possibilities.

care to list some of these 'possibilites'? do these things come with oil slicks and turbo boost or something?

Possibilities?
1893 - Henry Ford builds his first car.
2003 - Lamborghini introduces the Gallardo.

I'm definately not bashing the technology behind the Seagway, it's quite impressive. I've seen people haulin ass up a steep hill on these before...they're electric and very very quiet. But can they not do something more with the design?! It just looks sooo gay! There are possibilties here, I agree with that...but they need to harness the technology that they developed and move with it.
- gfro0
Yeah, I agree.
I can't wait to see what the future (if any) holds for these things.
Currently the design, to me, looks like it was design for the medical industry.

who says these aren't cool?
the seagway marketing team hopped on the 'extreme' train and hired some doods to get 'tricky' with these things; there's a freestyle section on their website or somewhere, it's so cheesy/sweet.

Can't they just fricking walk?
Who said 'Amish looking dude'??
lol

From the BBC story:
"The machine's creator, Dean Kamen, wants to see US Special Forces troops eventually ride Segways into battle."HA! RUN!!
Not really as impressive as, say, a tank, but whatever.

"shit! a man on wheels.. "
"shoot him quick while his hands are controlling his wheeled thingy"
yeah.
great for military use!

they use em underground as well, i always see the indian cop that uses it at the 42nd st stattion.
there's a really long strecth, and i watched him take off pretty quick, i want one.i dont see how they can be effecient for anything but looking cool, the minute someone in one of ths is chasing you, all you need to find are stairs.
- clarakent0
great, since the average NY cop is already 30 pds overweight.
