i would think people with medical conditions should check with their doctor before using or pre-ordering a segway ht. if someone has cerebral palsy it may or may not suit their needs. as far as "do donuts" go, the segway can turn 360 degrees in one spot, so there really isn't a donut ability.

i replaced my car with the segway ht, i wouldn't buy computers for looks (i have a vaio, dell, imac, solaris and next box, some look cool, most don't) if someone of them look good and do their tasks, bonus. the segway isn't really anything cool looking, it does work and work well for me. when i want to exercise i bike and jog, when i want to get to work and ditch my car (like i did) the segway ht was a good choice, i'm still working through if it's the best. cheers, pt.
go figure someone likes something and writes about it in a positive way. i guess that's bad, but i think it's worse to post cummy things about people on these forums, but that seems to be more acceptable, go figure. if advertising is going to evolve to a place where more people have personal sites about stuff they like that only interest other people of the same interests and do not bother me, sounds like a great world.
no--i don't think flash should replace web pages at all (ever) if you look at my sites, you'll not they do not contain flash. i do write books and article about using the swf format on mobile devices, i actually think that's one of the best places for it.
we're getting a hybrid mid-2003. when we do, i'll post pictures and write articles about that too...and then folks can say i work for that car company:-]
i haven't made a cent so far on my website at all to be super-clear. if you think the site is non-technical you should look at some of the articles and stay tuned as i post more details about the inner-workings of the segway ht.
cheers,

you're kidding right? most people don't weigh 250lbs don't...i weigh under the average of 180lbs...if you read my site, you'll see i've actually unexpectedly lost weight since getting the segway ht since i have more time to exercise as opposed to sitting in traffic.
the segway chassis can support 7 tons (that's what they tested it to as i recall) the weight limit has more to do with operational safety and recommended guidelines.

in washington state (where i live) you can use bikes on the side walk. when it makes sense, when you follow the rules, when you yield to people...the same goes for the segway ht here.
read your local and state laws on this.

i was able to give up a car, so while i think that will be hard for most people (i happen to live 3-5 miles to just about everything) a small percentage of people like me might consider the segway and *that* is much better than real suvs on the roads.
cheers,

i'm not getting paid "djupedal" none of this was planned, feel free to poke around or email me, contact segway.
there's probably nothing i could say that would satisfy you, so there it is.
yep, i like xbox live and live in seattle. i just moved here from minneapolis, i liked xbox there too (didn't have live at the time though, but did use gamespy to play other people in halo).
whatever, send me an email pt@bookofseg.com and see if it's me (it is). like most websites and blogs i have amazon links to stuff, i don't think that counts as selling them, and so far no one has bought one, and i don't really care if they do. from what i'm told a few bought cds from the band i like though, so i guess that's cool (i don't get any $ from that).
djupedal- deny? what are you talking about? if you look at the about page on my site, you'll see i state i work for fallon, if i didn't say that it would take one google search to figure that out. i work in the seattle office, we don't do ads out here, most of what i do is phone / device work (we have many biz divisions at fallon). fallon has nothing to do with my personal activities, segway or anything like that.
is that clear enough? if you have any more questions feel free to email me or whatever.
pt is just my initials, i'm really not sure what pt barnum signed his name as.
stairs: the segway ht has a follow mode that basically crawls up stairs, check my site. it's a powered mode that you control.
theft: again, check my site and read the security article securing the segway ht it's just like a bike for the most part, i've never had any issues.
i'll be super clear for ya--i don't work for or with segway in any way, you're more than welcome to poke around, ask segway, email me or whatever. i just happen to have a segway ht.
cheers,
pt
yep, i really like my ipod and imac. when i can, i take pictures and write about'em too, i don't work for or with apple in any way, but i really do admire them.
it seems the only thing some people want to see is negative stuff, it's the only "real" thing that qualifies anyone these days- being crumpy, but that's not for me, at least not yet.
cheers,

a segway will save you time, if you choose to stuff your face with the extra time, you'll stay or become fat...if you choose to be healthy then you'll do that.
i live in seattle (as my site states) it does rain here, not as much as people think. the ht handles and performs great in the rain, i've been known to wear a raincoat.
cheers,
pt
i usually don't post that much on slashdot...but, to be clear-- i'm not "a plant" i do not work for or with segway in any way, i just bought a segway ht and so far i like it.
i was lucky to get mine early, but still paid full price for it.
cheers,
