I don’t think any were released for sale specifically, but thanks to the V1 sale and other sources, there were several sets kicking around for a couple years…


Several people referred to them as the ‘Vegomatic’ wheels, if my memory serves… Alluding to the capacity to slice and dice your fingers if you were to insert them at an inappropriate time…

The Chinese approached all the UK dealers, including the distributor!
The information I got was this: -
£1,000 landed in the UK
18mph top speed
No redundant systems

Now, we all know that they have not been entirely honest in their promotions, saying they invented it, so can we believe the rest?
I did think about getting one just to size it up, but to be honest, I have been less than impressed with the Chinese products I have come across, plus the lying up front.
I did ask for a "sample" to be sent to the UK for evaluation, but it would appear that they probably did not get my email, because I have not had a reply

Surely someone would have to be a great fool to ride a machine with no redundant systems!

I can see what seems to be an actual Segway Inc. parking stand on the other segway! It seems clear that the engineer that they had design the parking stand in Bedford NH has now gone to work for the Chinese!
