My first Segway sighting

Segway | Comparisons | Save Time

Using Segway HT instead of walking increases the area you can cover 50-fold — whether you’re working or running errands.

The city bought some of these and I saw one in use by a meter reader today: I stopped to ask if it was as fun as it looked, and he allowed that it was.

The look on the faces of the three elementary schoolboys as they saw it coming was priceless: a flying saucer or jetpack couldn’t have unhinged their jaws more completely.

On this page you can see how a Segway can help you get around: it asks for your address and then shows you a map of your on-foot range and your extended Segway-enabled range.

Another option lets you see how much time you can save between two addresses: this would cut a walk to my daughter’s school from 28 minutes to 9, under ideal conditions.
