Awarded to the member who posted details of the most useful accessory/modification (not manufactured by Segway). Nominations:

Isidore for his post on an I2 aftermarket bicycle product, ideal for attaching to the seg. Thread.
joe for his fender extension ideas and templates. Thread.
maran747. In in 2005/06, maran747 (Mario Raneses) released his final production version of the SegSeat. Whilst the initial post is outside of the Segway Chat Awards time frame, the actual release of the product wasn't. It is therefore included as a valid nomination. Thread.
glen_d for his InfoKey cover idea and templates. Thread.
KSagal for his "KETTS", Karl's Enhanced Traction Tyres. No longer available but loved by those lucky enough to get hold of a pair. Thread.

And the winner is... maran747.
The runner-up is... tied between Isidore & glen_d.

(Just need to mention that the Members' Choice Award was not awarded due to a lack of votes, but thanks to the few who did place their vote)

It has been fun looking back through the last 12 months of Segway Chat messages. I hope you have enjoyed these awards and I look forward to reading messages posted during 2007.

From all the Judges, happy new year to all.

Keep on gliding!

Well I'd just like to say a big thanks to Sal, Wil, Florin and Gareth for all the hard work they have put in. Well done guys, and maybe you'll be taking some awards if it all happens again next year.

I guess there'll be a seperate thread for the acceptance speeches.

Just like to say a Happy New Year to all who help put SC together, work behind the scenes and moderate it etc. A big thank you.

Not forgetting a Happy New Year to all SC members.

Nick

Thank you everyone who voted for me.... Prior to the nomination I had never heard of the word 'curmudgeon'. But, I'll take whatever is given to me.

Thanks guys....

I think everyone needs to give Rep points and accolades for the awards to Gareth, he put in the most time in this effort. His posts were timely, informative, and quite thorough.

Thanks Gareth!
