Segways Roll Over Chicago

Posted by michael on from the modern-day-palanquin dept.

lpangelrob2 writes "It looks like someone in Chicago finally found a use for Dean Kamen's Segways. The Chicago Sun Times is reporting that a three hour tour of Chicago's lakefront will be guided by Segways traveling on Chicago's sidewalks at 5mph. The cost of the tour is $65, and an instructional class and helmet is provided -- just in case."

  1. Epcot by SirPhreak · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Even better, Epcot just started 2 hour tours.

    $80 for 2 hours around Epcot, a lot better than Chicago thats for sure, travel all the best countries in the world on a Segway! Reservations needed.

    I'm going in a weekend or two.

    Florida residents get 15% off I believe.
