If a Segway HT changed your life for the better, then I'd say it was right for you!

Welcome, ulsterseg1. I'm glad to hear that things are working out well for you. I know it's worked out well for a number of MS people on the board.

sorry i should have said,the ht is not marketed by segway as a device for the disabled.i am sure more testing and guide lines need to be in place for them to do that.

What a great story. There are a lot of folks using the Segway to regain lost mobility. Glad it's helping you too.

Right on ulsterseg1!!! I have MS, although I am getting the cure, but I have wanted a Segway for so long... since I first saw it on Jay Leno about 4 years ago... I thought it would allow me to be the person I once was and still dream of being. My hobby is traveling alone and I always thought that the Segway would once agaion help me lose the God-awful cane and allow me the pleasure.
Cheers Bren I'm goin' to get my groove on... |

Hi Ulsterseg - way to go......
There are several of us who post here who have MS in varying degrees. I think our Segways have our undying devotion and all feel as if they have been given new legs! I am not severely disabled, but certainly my mobility and stamina are compromised. Having the Segway to rely on is incredible and I can not consider doing a lot of things I couldn't do before Seg. I should imagine there were quite a few people up and down the East coast who wished they had one at their disposal yesterday! Jill Nothing is inexplicable, merely unexplained..... Dr. Who |

Hello all, I have a new HT and an old case of MS. I am sorting out the uses for the Segway, but I know already that it is miraculous.
I bought a car/hitch trailer, but I am working on a different design that doesn't look so much like part of a fire truck. I have been gliding past old neighborhood that I haven't seen in 10 or 15 years! |
