forgot to mention the speed limit in nyc is 30 mph, and withe the traffic in mahattan , it is faster to walk accross town faster then a 4500 pound taxi that is the size of 6 of these vehices and gets 14 mpg,
by the year 2035 gas will cost $10.00 a gallon. cabs in nyc have only one passager 70% of the time and there are 43% more cars then parking spaces in mahattan, and that just the people that live there. 35 cents for 35 miles sounds pretty good and getting four of these in a regular parking spot is even better. 68% of the country lives in the cities or within 15 miles and that's where the jobs are.
as cool and futuristic this is, i don't think we need something to move us around while we sit on our fat asses, that's what cars do already. sure, this could be great for some public transportation thing in the future, but right now, bikes or something would be best. i would get this, but i would rather want to lose my fat gut, so i'll just stick with walking and biking
I can see it working for a handicapped individual...the modifications would have to be a chasis that would accomodate a wheel Chair. Obviously lots of things should be taken int account, ie compatability, controls and self checking locks etc. Other than that its really one stupit looking idea since there is absolutely no way you can go on a normal NYC street with that thing. The pot holes, the traffic, the weather...the humiliation...hehehehe
to all the naysayers: can you think of a better way for municipal urban districts to address the issues of, congestion, pollution, noise, and parking? city ordinances can easily dictate demand with special, cheep, convenient parking lots and designated lanes, as well as tax and other incentives. i bet they are going to be hugely successful.
What audacity humans have to think they actually effect the earths climate in anyway at all. Stop trying to play God. The earth goes through cycles naturally. Global warming brought us out of the ice age before cars and pollution existed. And does Al Gore have one?
can it pull a boat? how bout a few bags of groceries? maybe a sandwich to eat when it goes dead in 10 blocks and you have to wait while you borrow power from someone's cigarette lighter.
@skillet441 Why would you want to pull a boat through the downtown area of any city? The title clearly indicates that this is meant for URBAN transportation situations.
It could totally have shopping bags in it (so long as there was no passenger, heh)
@skillet441 hehe, people like you have no idea. absolutely none. this is not meant to replace a truck or a daily shopper. this is what you carry in the back of the truck as a means to get to places you won't reach on foot in time or at all with a regular sized car. parking is a luxury in large cities. instead of musing about (not) owning one, how about renting whenever you really need it. this is something nobody needs to or will in fact buy.
I don't understand why this has to be so complicated? Why does it have to be a balancing act to just get someone around? Also I can understand this for the handicapped and elderly but for those physically able to ride a bike, I certainly don't see the advantage.
sooo...what happens if you'll have to instantly break in high speed? wont it flip over?, I mean, sure it can keep the balance when you slowly break, reducing speed slowly...but in high speed?
Yes it is totally awesome. But there is no Segway PT dealer here in the Philippines. Apparently a personal unit would cost around $5,000 which is expensive compared to 1/3 price of a brand new car. Further, there are some countries that would not allow Segway on the main roads, perhaps this the reason why Segway has not been successful in penetrating the markets. But the product would really address global warming issues, the ever increasing prices of oil and many others.
Well let's see...there was the Yugo, Le Car, and now...(Trumpets and Flurishes) Le Garba'ge Can ! For those who are older and remember the old GM slogan "What's GOOD for GM is GOOD for America!" Humph - We are soo screwed...
The problem with this like any other small vehicle including the smart car or a moped for that matter is, what happens to your cranium when some soccer mom in a hummer tries to play chicken with you? You loose. Listen to Paul Shanklins In a Yugo song.
What people fail to see is that at under 50 cc in most areas you don't need a license to operate a motor vehicle.
I'm pretty sure something like this will be huge with people that work in the core of cities and could take this down a bike path or something for a 5 minute ride from the apartments across the river.
Anything considered a "motor vehicle", regardless of cc's, you do need a license to operate it. What you don't need is insurance or to register it with the DMV.
god damn right! Sounds stupid how there still aren't motorcycle lanes. It would take like half the space of a normal lane and encourage people to ride motorcycles in the city. Better parking, less congestion, and polution (in most cases)
Segway is kool but it's another stupid GM mistake to join venture. Obviously GM is trying too hard to copy the Toyota version and did a poor job, no wonder GM went bankrupt.
As long as this vehicle cost less than a gas powered motorcycle, I am interested. This will solve the ever increasing gas prices and global warming issues.
it's a good "concept" but it will have too many flaws... it's a waste of money, and besides, gm is what... under bankruptcy or something?... stupid... just stick with the segways
