These devices are not common in our countries

And by consulting this forum I learn that the SegSaddle is no longer produced

Shame :-(

So first question is there an alternative? Or a buyer?

I am suffering from a muscular disease (myopathy) and this device makes me dream
I have MS and the SegSaddle was my ultimate solution as well, I have 2.
Brian Hughes (the owner of SegSaddle) was a great guy and gave great support too. I am very sorry to see it go. I concur that the GlideSaddle is the next best thing, I will be looking into getting one this spring. From what I can see, the main difference is that I believe the seat height is not dynamically adjustable, it looks like it has a pin that you insert to set it at your desired height, the SegSaddle you just pull up and it adjusts. There are a few other seated options like the "LeanSeat" made by the SegVator company. I have one of those, its not nearly as comfortable nor functional for me as the SegSaddle is., but its alot cheaper. They are the only seated options I have tried to date. I havn't seen any seat options for the new Segways, the ninebots or minipros to date.
