Hi All,

Segway Today set out to demonstrate the utility and durability of the Segway Personal Transporter. The first challenge: Fargo Street in Los Angeles, California. At a 32 percent grade, it’s one of the world’s steepest public streets.

Take a look at:

Please note that no Segways or gliders were harmed in this production. :)

Fargo St. may be the 2nd steepest in the Los Angeles area (like Avis, it tries harder).

Here are a few links refering to steep grades.
