PMS3 - Pimp My Segway™ ]|[

[macgeek]

Ok, Starting the photo library

Justin brought me a handlebar that was not working, but he cut it in half,
I replaced the broken guts and used that as my base for my new handlebar

First thing I decided was that I needed a Horn;

So I added a 'horn' button


Here is the base


Since I was planning on running a touchscreen / navigation / !!!
thru the handlebar I decided i needed ROOM to pass 'many cables'



And I wasnt kidding here is the wiring that I am passing thru the handlebar!



More to come

Looking cool! That is a crap ton of wiring you are passing through!!!

I think i will also try to do some pimping during the winter - but probably not of the grandeur of your pimping...

We will see

Thanks for your inspiration, and looking forward to seeing more and more and more!!!

yup - 30 wires AND the segway set of controls.

It was a major feat to be able JUST to pass the cables thru everything.

BUT I GOT IT!!

muhahahahahahahahahah

(sick, aint I)

Well Work continues..

I built a special base, so I can work on the handlebar



I started soldering and attaching wires


[note segway mode switch on right being used as a horn button ]

Here are some shots of me testing the GPS Interface


Here is the back side

[note the quick release clamps, to remove the unit]

And here are the interface cables


I mentioned before that the battery fits inside the 25.0 bag,

Great job!

By the way, your thread title says "Pimp My Segway", and that it's trademarked. That's funny, I can find no record that the phrase was ever trademarked. So, I just applied for it!!! Just kidding Jon....

If you're serious about protecting the phrase you should have it trademarked. Using the 'TM' improperly is a no no....

Jon

I thought a trademark had to be used in commerce for goods or services - are you going to start offering "pimp my segway" kits?????

As far as I know, Jonathan is offering free courses/tutorials regarding how you can pimp your own segway by posting explenations and pictures on this forum

I always apriciate Jonathan's free Pimp my Segway tutorials, great services that he does to the Segway community. I hope it inspires other people to start pimping their segway.
