OK - who are they selling this to ? Why make a segway so uncool ? What's up with the guy ? Where are the vespa rider types ? I had wanted to buy one until now ...

Agree. At this rate, until the Seg gets its own "Quadrophenia" it ain't gonna happen.

Comment #6 :: link :: November 25, 2002 09:00 AMwow, those helmets are so cool, i might want to get one for everyday wear.

Comment #8 :: link :: November 26, 2002 09:00 AMI have been a Segway Skeptick since before she changed her name from Ginger and stopped hinting that she was a teleportation device, but now I'm starting to think that there's the possibility that this thing is so, um, pedestrian that it has the ability to find a genuine subversive counterculture to belong to. The question is whether it will be of the Star Trek or the skateboard variety. Clearly, if the thing were hackable or extensively customizable that would go a long way in gaining street cred.
Whether or not you intend to plunk down $5,000 for this scooter, the Science Behind Segue is wonderful example of techno-festishism. Sample: "The magnets are constructed of an incredibly powerful rare-earth material: neodymium-iron-boron." Does Saddam have that??!! Check the palaces!

The important hidden message of this ad is that the two riders are THIN. Let's call this the "BEFORE" picture and then check in with these smiling folks after two years of Segway use.
Happily ambulatory, CMM
