Arjun Ram writes "MSNBC.com is reporting that renting a segway would cost as much as $20 for each 30-minute increment, for up to 90 minutes. Users can also pay $5 for a test drive, or 'pre-glide' as Lambeth calls it. Neat!"

I can't see paying $20 to look like a pansy for 30 minutes. Most people can find ways to do that for free.

I can see it now.. the sun shining, birds singing, old people on scooters riding around with their shopping on the handlebars and over in the distance in an abandoned skatepark a bunch of kids busting up SICK moves on their Segways. A new extreme sport is born. Geriatric Scootering.
hell, bring a large roll of lead foil, wrap it up, and drive away...

Segway won't work in NY. Sidewalks are too crowded. If some dumbass on a Segway ran into me as he blabbed on his cell phone, I'd punch him. And some punk kid would steal the Segway.

So here you are, bragging about the size of your peni^H^H^H^Hwallet on an internet site and using feel good marketing speak.
Humm, I think you are just an austroturfer, and looking at your history confirms it. I wonder if all 108 of your comments are just like the current 24 and you can't shut up with the bragging about your $$$ and your scooter.
Why don't you waste you time at some other site related to the scooter instead of posting PR stuff to every/. story you can work the scooter into.
I don't think ExpensiveOverhypedScooterOwningRabidPrSpewingFanbo ys.com has been taken yet.

Now there is a ideal. Wonder how difficult it would be to take out the motor/battery assembly and put in one from say a weedeater or a chainsaw?
I imagine you couldn't remove the electric motor and it still work but I don't think it would stop you from replacing the battery with a small generator and engine. You might even be able to get some decent range out of the bitch.
