Here is what got sent to me from an Ebay Q Reseller when I tried to explain to him that his auction contained misleading and false information regarding the Q vs. the Segway. Definitely falls under the category of People Without A Clue.
__________________________________________________ _____________________________ There is nothing misleading in my auction page. I tell the customer exactly what it has. I tell why its safer, because of its four wheel design, renerative breaks, reinforced decks and has added momanuervability. My scooter you can use as a dolley too. Coke, Pepsi and Snapple are working on deals to get scooters for there employees. This is not one of those cheap scooters, that are selling on Ebay, like theelectric chariot people mover and the Q mover and the super scooter. They come with no technical support, no addreess,no phone number, no reinforced deck and no regenerative breaks. Just to let you know, were in a law suit over the knock off scooters, we have the patten, are scooters are safe and we have technical support. You let those people selling knock off scooters copy my auction page and don not even do nothing. You never ridden my scooter, you have no ideal what its like. How can you make a dumb statement like the Segway is much better, when you have never ridden my scooter. Some people are so ignorant. You should be worried about the member selling knock off scooters of mine, they are really un safe. They are being sued too. If Seway is so much better, then why is coke working on a deal with us. Our scooter will be on the Ellen show too. If you care to take a look. |

there is no question that the ht is more innovative and novel
however it should be since it is 4 times the cost whatever is said on this forum relative to the shortcomings of the Q are meaningless since the general public doesn't read segwaychat. the makers of Q are getting their product in front of consumers, are promoting it and probably have sales that will continue to increase, particularly based on the huge price differential. the only way to counter the Q is for segway to get their unit in front of consumers and explain the advantages - rad2go's site now states that it is going to be on the ellen degenares show we need segway to increase their promotion of one of the greatest pieces of technolgy - we can't do it. Q will probably be successful and keep modifying their product if for no other reason, the vast majority of people cannot afford the cost of a segway in fact walmart now sells them for $994 (the newest version) and states that they will be in the next James Bond and superman movies - their marketing people are doing their job!

The auction in question is:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3677854384 The guy's even local to me, but funny he certainly didn't offer to come show me his wonder-vehicle. J |

I just sent him the following:
__________________________________________________ _________________ I think I would really like to find out more about it, and see what it is actually capable of. I notice you are local to me (I'm in Sunnyvale). Would you or your company be willing to meet me some time with my Segway so we could compare them side-by-side? I admit I have never seen a Q or other knock-off scooter other than in pictures, so I should at least see one in person before I form my opinion. Please let me know if you would be willing to participate in this little experiment. Thanks! Jonathan |

Vanclute, please please keep us posted! This is going to be good. Maybe it'll be another Brucewright vs Q?

Arrested developement, all over the news, not to mention the specials focused directly on Dean Kamen, and a nice sized segment on the segway. I don't even have words to say about this guy. -Zoli |

What will be interesting is the marketing plan for this thing. I am sure they plan on selling more than the Segway has already (and cheaper does sell) but what will also be interesting is the pre-owned market - has anyone seen these on used on eBay yet? At least the HT holds its value!
