I tryed one of THESE thing and they are Junk.... for those who have them (the price is right), but when you are going up or down a hill... hold on tight. The best use for these are as a motorized furniture moving dollies.

I have to agree, we had a customer that bought one previously and fell flat on his face. It is great if you don't have the money to invest in a segway but I would not recommend the "Q".

I rode one that a friend of my mom uses in a nursing home and it's great for indoor use. You get what you pay for, and it looks and feels "toy like".

After testing one I don't see how it could handle anything other than a smooth surface.

Translate the website with Babel Fish <http://babelfish.altavista.com/> and you'll see that most of the recommended applications are smooth and indoors.

I agree, the Q just looks like an toy, not at all as some kind of serious device.

It's a Belgium company, the first part of the website is in Dutch, so if you want to know what it's all saying, just let me know.

By the way, did you notice the kid in the video, not smiling at all. His face probably reflects his thoughts: please shoot me.

Kind regards,
