The Segseat is a great concept, however it will never become successful unless all of the dealers sell and promote the seat. In my humble opinion, the seat could actually give Segway Inc. and all of its affiliates some leverage in the widespred acceptance of segway usage on sidewalks and on federal and private property. If the disabled community embraces the segway; property managment at places like the Beverly Center in Beverly Hills, Ca will start viewing segway usage on property as normal and conventional. American citizens all over would come to accept the segway.(check out www.draft.org-there are pix of some handicaped; even people with both legs amputated riding segways, comforatably.) However, the seat must be comforatable, and very high-end. THE seat needs to be set up to be sold for at least $1000-1200. The actual seat should be high quality leather with memory foam inside to act as a cushion and relieve pressure points. If Segseat were my entity, I would sell it to the dealers wholesale for $500 and set the retail price for $1500. This way the dealers have an incentive to sell the product, the product will generate more unit sales, thus hihgly benefiting both SegSeat and the dealers, and segway.

IMHO Segway has enough on their hands just trying to sell HT's.
A seat was never in the plan. It was about standing. There are all ready a ton of sit down scooters. The Segway was never planned as a "mobility aid" so a seat was a moot point. As far as DRAFT, most here know the site as it's the first thread on this page. The main market will be for those, like myself, who use the Seg as a mobility device. So with the HT being $5000.00 out of pocket another $1500.00 would kill the product. I have no butt left at all and can live with the comfort of the seat as is, no need for leather here. It's a limited market product and Mario and Co. has done a nice job on the product. If you want people to accept the Se do as I do. Take the HT and the info from DRAFT and go try to gain entry. Thats how change will happen. Grass roots, not INC. This week both the NCAA HOOPS & The PGA tour will see me and my SEG. March Madness no problem, I'll let you know about The Players Championship.
