This looks new as well. It's dated September 24, 2002.

Here are some highlights:

1) "...To date, 31 states have recognized the advantages of Segway transportation and passed legislation welcoming Segway HTs onto sidewalks and in public areas. We continue to work with other states in getting similar legislation passed."

2) "...New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) will be testing Segway HTs through January 2003..."

3) "...Disney Cruise Line is the first to offer its guests the magical experience of a Segway HT..."

4) "Since Segway's early development phases, the U.S. Postal Service has worked with us to test and refine Segway HT's capabilities. Machines have been put to the test on delivery routes in a wide range of conditions in areas like Tampa, FL; Memphis, TN; Concord, NH; and Norman, OK. A recent test in San Francisco was Segway's most challenging, but the city's steep hills were no match for the machines. When letter carriers slowed to a stop or descended hills, the HT's regenerative braking technology transferred energy to the battery, partially recharging it. Segway's smart technology rose to the task hill after hill."

5) "Segway recently made two announcements regarding our European presence. The Farnborough International Airshow in Britain was the site of a groundbreaking partnership with BAE Systems,..."

6) "Thousands of hours of rigorous company testing and real world use have demonstrated the durability and safety of the Segway HT. Road testing designed to simulate 10 years of hard use under the worst possible conditions has proven the mechanical integrity of the machines. The chassis of a Segway HT is even able to withstand the weight equivalent of three sport-utility vehicles (SUVs)..."

7) "We will keep you posted as we make progress towards nationwide availability in the US and an international presence."

Does anyone live near these Postal test areas? Have you seen them being used?
