Do they really think people will buy these? It looks like a deathtrap. AHHHHHHHH! Hey, what if it’s raining? lol.
It may not be for everyone, but I’m sure there is a market for them. Local police use Segways in my area to police the beach areas, someone will find a use for these. As far as the rain? no different then riding a motorcycle.
Thanks for stopping by…
In this case, I think Segway have a lot of things to do, especially they have to increase the weight capacity, as the 300 lbs is not even enough, especially for those that having the obesity problem!
