Yep, the Seg stops pretty quickly if you want it to, doesn't it?

How do the knuckles feel now? Now I know the limits that I can push my Seg.

What is this guy doing wrong? if anything? it looks like the machine was not able to correct quickly enough... or it corrected too much? has this happened to anyone else? what happened here?

Some kid telling another kid "You won't fall over!" Kid on Seg does a really deep lean-back stop (excessive angle). Forward inertia causes him to fall forward. Just stupid stuff, Bruce, no big deal.

if you were going down a road at max speed and a car came out... and you pushed back that quickly, would the same thing happen? if you were going at max speed and pulled back hard like that or more, would the wheels skid? just curious. thanks.

Wow, from my experience he'd have to really really muscle it. So he hit excessive angle leaning back and the Segway went out of balance mode?


Parents, keep your kids off the Segways.
