SegWay Wheelchairs
I found a company called Segsolutions.com, and they make a sitdown kit personalized for what type of disability you have. The kit is called GlidRB1 , and can be attached to the Segwayi2 or X2. Check out the website, pretty interesting.aduboyce49

I am lookingfor the same solution that you are. I could not handle the stand-up Seg. Yesterday, I visited Steve Pratt, who is in many of those videos that you saw on the web. I had the opportunity to ride his Seg, and I was amazed at how easy to balance and run it was. He charges about $1,000 for his adaptation of the standard Segway. I am looking for an X2 now and will hopefully have mine ready to go in a month. Steve's contact is 360-561-3691. Jim |

other considerations for segway wheel chair
Do a Google search " segway Ally" they run 16k or try "segseat" those run about $500, never tried either one but seems like it may help you in researching. I am in NH as well at the North end of Lake Winnipesaukee good luck in your search.

Segway Wheelchair
The name of guy in the Segway Wheelchair is Casey.
His company is called LayneBuilt LLC The chair's name is ALLY Chair. It costs $6999, $7000, yes it's a ridiculous price more than a Segway itself! No, the lift is not Ally-Lift. There are Bruno Outrider PUL-1100 and Harmar AL-800 models that sell for $2250 new and I saw a used one for $400. Personally I prefer to use a basic electric lift and load it on the back of SUV or the side of minivan. If you want a Segway Wheelchair my suggestion is: First find a i2 Segway(The new generation) with under 700 miles and buy for $3000 to $4000 max. Then go to segsolutions4reedom.com and buy the short($800) or tall($1200) Segway-chair. Then you'd need a metal shop to build you a better foot-rest, an upholstry-shop to build you a short back-rest and attach to your chair. And finally invent your own 2-leg(back and front) or 4-leg stand so you can stop and turn the machin off to get off or behind a table. I give you a hint: Use 2 small hydraulic jacks upside-down that lower to the ground and a spring to pull it back up, that way you'll be balanced even on rough surfaces. Most Segways last trouble-free up to 10,000 to 20,000 miles so they're very reliable. By 2015 there will be lots of Gyroscopic chairs with Lithium Phosphate batteries for sale, for now we have to create 1 ourselves or rely on greedy inventors. |

Segway Wheelchairs
Just found this thread today. I am currently an iBOT owner and have been following the production of a number of "Segway Wheelchairs" for some time now. These include a number of SegSeat/Saddle offerings, Ally Chair, Freedom GlidR, Welzorg Segway, Josep Mora Design, and a few others. I must admit that the concept of a compact, two wheeled, self balancing, mobility device holds a lot of potential for disabled people. Currently the device that I believe that is furthest along is called the "Genny" and marketed by an Italian company called Genny Mobility. Their 2nd generation chair was just introduced Feb 28, 2012 and isn't available in the US as of yet. They have assured me that they will soon be marketing a "kit" that can be used to modify an i2 or x2 purchased domestically. However, I'm expecting the price to be prohibitive. They are currently selling the Genny 2.0 in Europe for 16000 euros.
