Let's not forget
The main criteria I had in purchasing a Segway was would it carry my 240# frame up a steep hill. Yes it does. I have traveled up a very steep hill (3.5mph on a bicycle) at 9+ MPH. The hill is 1.3 miles long. I doubt if a battery powered skateboard would do the same. Any I have ridden immediatly bog down at the sight of any incline.
I suppose you could play polo with the skateboard but you would have to carry it around as you run to catch the Segways.
Let's all chip in and get one. 8 people at $50 each. Then we can really test it out. If it doesn't live up to as advertised. Return it.
