Recent content suggests some confusion over sales of Segway in the UK. Planet Moto have been brining Segways into the UK for a month or so now, and we are working hard to get the UK population aware of the device. We have demonstrated the Segway direct to the general public, and we are sure that there are conversations taking place across London about 'the day I saw a Segway in London'. Our aim is to get as many people to try the Segway and to experience the benefits first hand as we beleive that this awareness will help to get Segway into the British conscience. Any one in the UK who is interested in helping to get people to try a Segway... either at events of shows, or to groups, organisations etc. let us know. We would welcome your input.

Pleased to be on Segway Chat. We will keep everyone up to speed with all that we are upto this side of the Atlantic.
We thought that it would be worth giving you some idea of the levels of interest that we have seen in the last month or so. We have provided Seagway HT to a number of TV companies and it appeared on a major early evening general interest programme called Richard and Judy. They provided some good coverage with a total in excess of 5 minutes airtime. We have also had features on local TV programmes, and in a number of national newspapers. This week sees the publication of a major feature in the UKs No 1 technology magazine called T3. We took 5 machines into central London and generated some amazing public reaction.
Finally we have also taken the Segway into a number of major provincial towns and Cities to guage public reaction. PlanetMoto is doing all we can to put Segway on the UK map!! More updates to come. Any UK based queries and enquireies will receive our promptest attention.

Very cool, PlanetMoto! Great work! This is big news, as the last we'd heard (quite some time ago), UK distribution was being handled through BAE. Had a look at your Web site ... will you be adding a Segway section to your site?
