Hi folks

Just to let you know we have just released our new bodyelectric MAX powerchair.
This drops onto a standard segway PT, with NO modifications required to the Segway.

Tony.............three cheers back at you! I need a test ride immediately! USA distribution and dealers? Videos? Very high cost.

Good for you. Good looking project, I wish you luck.

MAX video uploaded
 
Thanks everyone for your comments.

I have just uploaded a video from last week showing MAX out and about on a beach in southern New Zealand:

To answer a few questions:

-We have no immediate plans to sell into the USA
-Price in U$ is about eight grand (ie the MAX only, no Segway, no GST, VAT etc).

cheers
Tony

FYI your link doesn't work (OSX 10.9.1 Safari Browser)

I'll post the same link for you http://youtu.be/4lPG92y-15g

Nice Video, beautiful beach, wonderful product, from the Nice Kiwi.

Both links work fine on google crome.

Thanks for the video. The MSRP @ $8K is out of many Segway owner's price range but then again...............the Segway is out of most people's price range. Hope you have much success with your product. It will be a life-changer for the few that can afford it.

Wow, very nice indeed!

While I hope it is many years indeed before I need a full-time seated solution such as this, I really like your design, your video, and that it drops into an unmodified Segway.

I talk to a lot of people with disabilities in my daily travels, and there's a lot who would benefit from your product. There would, of course, be challenges, pricing and lack of insurance coverage for such solutions being among them.

But I hope you find great success in NZ, and I hope you find a way to bring that success to the US!
