great googling-- but all this info is on the about page of my both my sites. i work for a company called fallon, i do mobile device stuff out here in seattle. i'm in the same building as our parent company (424 2nd ave west). i'm not a big wig, i'm just little guy-- we do have cool clients though. _none_ of which are segway, llc. the 206 phone number is my cell, you can call it right now if you'd like. the pocketpcmagic.com ebooks site (i write books) was registered to my old nyc addy when i worked for a company called braincraft. again, you could have asked me or looked at the about pages on my site.
again, to be crystal clear-- i do not work for segway in any way, nor does the company i work for in any way, i do not get paid to do any segway related stuff-- the bookofseg.com is just my personal journal of having one. i'm sending this email to you directly as well. feel free to call me if you'd like.
i've lost 10 lbs since using my segway ht. how? i now get home sooner as opposed to sitting in traffic and use that time to exercise as well as other things i'd rather do. it's on my site if you're interested.
i have one, so do many other people (consumer and gov) in march is when you'll see shipped in large numbers to full the pre-orders. i've been to the plant and see a their capacity as well as a few hundred ready to ship for certain customers.
it's not a scooter, check my site for more details or segway's site. i have a scooter (xooter and others) the segway ht is no scooter.
it's 3-4 miles each way, and i carry 2 laptops, equipment and other gear-- all over very very steep hills. you should read my site www.bookofseg.com on why a big or jogging doesn't fit my travel needs, if it did, i would use them. most people take cars for even less distances, i found something else that does a good job (for now).
actually, from my daily 7 mile segway ht commute, i see over 50% to 60% of the cars eating, drinking and talking on the cell phones. the main difference is they're over 2 tons and going over 50 mph at times.
i've managed to ride 100 miles without a single incident. segway ht has logged over 100,000 hours without any incident, you can contact them for more info as well.
now that i use the ht as opposed to driving, i should tell you- that you should fear the car driver who looks down at his cell phone and hits a person as opposed to a bike or segway, on my daily 7+ mile commute i see over 50% of the cars using cell phones, drinking triple no foam lattes and eating mcmuffins.
feel free to email directly as well if you have any questions, i would be more than willing to answer them.
i take the ht on the road for my commute, i think people assume i use something else, but after 700 comments-- no one has ever asked. my offer is non-expiring, so feel free to drop me a note any time you're in town.
as far as the stopping goes "unseen" anythings are hard to speculate about, but so far, in my 100 miles i've not had a single incident.
i work for fallon, in the seattle office on phone, pda and mobile device software (that our biz unit). read the about page on my site. we do not work with segway, llc in any way nor do i. again, read my site. http://www.bookofseg.com/about.html
i've gone over 100 miles on my segway ht, not a single problem. while the theories you proposed seem to make sense, you'd really need to use one to see (in my opinon) that it stops better and faster than a bike or rollerblades. if you're ever in seattle, wa let me know i'll gladly show you.
i use a segway ht to go 7+ miles per day, i given up a car, saved over $10,000 and i've even lost 10lbs with my extra time that i have each day to do more things like (exercise) as opposed to sitting in traffic.
you can read about it here on my personal journal of owning a segway ht: http://www.bookofseg.com
today i hit 100 miles, it took about 14 days of commuting to hit that, i didn't count other trips or previous commute trips so i could keep careful logs. for the first 100 miles or so, i personally saved about $582.00+ by using a segway ht, gave up a car and lost 10lbs. some things weren't quantifiable, results may vary for others.
you might want to consider that i might be reviewing these devices and i do not own them, that would see to make sense right? i do not get any advertising fees or any money for my reviews. unless you acidentally set you home page to my site, you may want to "move on" nothing to see there, thanks.
that's interesting. here's a past post from you talking about you buying all sorts of "plastic and electronic crap" at best buy check it out trek
unless that playstation and games were made of rocks and wood, your comments seem unreasonable and hypocritical.

which items are your referring to that were made in sweatshops? please be specific as possible and provide evidence. i'm more than willing to hear more ways i could reduce my ecological footprint, thanks.

there are about 30-40 for consumers out now, with an unknown (and most likely small number) for biz use. i'm not sure regulation of such a tiny market makes sense?
i'm really glad to hear you're doing your best to help the planet and others on your path, and your way that you deem fit. i'll take a hard look at what i do and see what and if i can do to be a better world citizen. not using a car was a good step i thought, we're going to see how much of out power we can move to solar...i'm involved in local and state charities and orgs that i can tell you about privately if you'd like, send me an email--- i'd be more than happy to share, you're free to scowl or laugh at my idiocy about those as well:-]
it would depend how this "nudger" got to them, what they did, what they used. the segway does not defy physics. on almost every trip i go over 7+ miles, i've had the ht for over 30 days and never had a trip, fall, spill or anything like that.

i have saved an average of 1 hour per week, not sitting in traffic-- i've used that time to exercise.
i wouldn't call this a toy, most toys do not go 7+ miles per day, over 100 miles so far and save some people over $10k.
i lock mine up all over town:

if disney is using them all over, then it's safe to say that the segway ht has been used around millions of people safely, that's pretty interesting.
