You just won't believe it until you see it in action. We hope to have a video clip on our website soon.
The SegPlow has three settings...straight and angle right or left. It has two mounting brackets bolted to the Segway which allow a qiuck-attach and release...once the brackets are mounted it goes on or comes off in about 10 seconds.
The mounting brackets take around 15 min. per side to mount and then are removed after the winter season. The design of the plow frame prevents the Segway from falling over (forward or backward) should you loose traction or exceed the limits of the Segway. This is not to say that you can't take a spill if you loose your balance, but you won't face-plant the Segway. The plow frame allows enough movement to propel forward or back but not enough to get you into too much trouble.
The biggest issue is wheel spin when traction is lost or exceeding machine limits. You need to be prepared to quickly step off the rear of the Segway and bring the Segway to a level (fore/aft) position until it calms down.
Raising the plow is done with the heel of either foot via a foot bar at the rear of the platform. The SegPlow has dual tilt springs should you contact an obstacle or crack the the pavement.
This is intended for an experienced glider. It takes a bit of practice but I can clear my driveway in half the time of the snow blower. The black key is maximum recommended speed as you tend to want to go to max. available speed and the red key is just too fast. Battery life has been excellent, even in heavier snow. I have done three large driveways in heavy snow on a single charge (L-ions).
Once you get above about 4-5 inches of snow, angle plowing (windrowing) doesn't work very well. You angle plow a path in the center of the driveway and then straight plow side-to-side when the snow gets too deep to angle plow all the way to the edge of the driveway. Still goes very quickly.
Designed for either the XT or the x2. Like all SegVator products, the proceeds go to DRAFT's Segs4Vets program.
Who said plowing can't be fun?
