Hi folks

Just to let you know we have just released our new bodyelectric MAX powerchair.

Default 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

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

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

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!

Obviously, we can't have infinite voltage, or the universe would tear itself to shreds, and we wouldn't be discussing Segways.
