mountainman Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 What a trip. I have a feeling this guy is gonna be very wealthy soon. Prob a good company to invest in NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 What a trip. I have a feeling this guy is gonna be very wealthy soon. Prob a good company to invest in NOW. Not likely. All it takes is one personal injury lawsuit. Segway is struggling financially. Been sued countless times. The Segway inventor got killed using his own product fer cryin' out loud. Do a google search using "Personal transportation vehicles" and look at all the similar inventions that never took off........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I know someone that got thrown off a segway. Problem is when they lose traction, like on wet grass, or going uphill or taking off when there's gravel on the sidewalk they start to buck. The most money this guy could safely make is if he can patent the design and sell the patent to a large company for $50k or so. Edit to add: I stand corrected. It is going into production this year, first for sale in Asia, later in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexia Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Asia doesn't have as many ambulance chasing maggots as the USA'S got. They are also more apt to try things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
