Default Flimsy and overpriced

I purchased these with my Segways, not realizing that they were made of rubber rather than steel. I can't imagine not having a parking stand with my Segway, so when these die (which they surely will, since they're so flimsy), I'll replace them with something sturdier.

My dealer explained that making them this way was a safety feature, so that if a rider mounts the Segway without disengaging the parking stand, the stand would break to avoid injuring the rider.
