Here's a different mod of segway!

cmonkey · 12-07-2007, 03:24 PM

It's be neat if the mod was available a kit.

The site claims all the usual stuff that we like.
Less congestion, energy, pollution, etc....

they forgot one thing....

less visibility

My gosh, you sit so low on that, I'd be afraid to get run over by wheelchairs!

Neat Idea, but you'd have to be extra careful crossing a street. You'd definitely need to add a visibility flag to it.

I got an e-mail from them tonight pointing to the same link. I'm interested even if only to test it. However, as cmonkey mentions, this thing sits so low you are a hazard to both traffic and yourself!

Orange flag?

I'm curious how weight transfer is done to control starting/stopping.

One advantage: no more face plants!

you can sit down like that on a gen 1 machine pretty easily. It is pretty simple to control but when you engage the speed limiter it can get a little freaky.

Clever mod to an i2.

This is starting to get closer to JohnM's "Foo-Mobile"...

Interesting mod, I agree with cmonkey but I think it has great potential as a mobility device.

the segway handlebar as a 'foot rest' as well as the accessory bar?

they had to hack the tilt sensor, and there showing it off at Inc's HQ?
Lots of segs in the backround

Crap, you are right! Look how he controls the throttle with the hand grip. They must have put the BSA on a gimbal and attached it to that lever. That is so cool.
