Is Usain Bolt Faster Than A Segway? - Page 2

Hmm, I have to admit, it looks more like a genuine Segway PT on Karl's photo.

The fenders are obviously not stock. There is no rail/lower cargo frame - but the fenders and frame could have been removed and replaced with what we see to maximise the leaning capabilities.

It has a centre console so it is definitely not a Gen1. It doesn't have an SE style console so that just leaves a regular Gen2. But it was the centre console that didn't look right to me. It still doesn't. It doesn't look sleek like how I remember my i2 and x2. But I wonder if the mats not being there is why it looks so different - taller? Can't say I've looked at my Segways without their mats on. It also seems to have several of the warning stickers.

The LSF looks different from the front - but of course it is modified for hands-free. But still, perhaps they just removed the Segway medallion and that's why it looks odd to me.

Oh well, looks like I'm wrong on this one.

I take it back. I don't know what to believe now.

Of course, I have not seen a clone with the floor pad off either...

The center console looks like one of these:

The underside looks different, also (between the batteries):
