I'm reading a book about the invention process of this thing and the wheelchair that inspired it, but about one third way thu I'm now dying of curiosity just how sucessful this thing has been. I've never seen a single person using one, here or anywhere I've traveled and yet it was supposed to be a "change the world" sort of product. Seems to be a lively trade in them on eBay, such as here , but just curious how well the company is doing with them now ?
Can't think of any use for one myself, but seems like one good use would be in large manufacturing facilities as a substitute for the golf carts.
I'm also curious what they use for batteries and how long they last, as I don't see much room for batteries in the photos of the Segways. What say ye, practical technoites ?
