Great...GM, a failing company, to introduce a segway, a failing product.

Brilliant.

are these meant to go on sidewalks or on the road? can't imagine you'd survive if you got hit by a car at any speed lol

uhhhhhh.

I hope Obama sees this and goes "WTF! no money for you ever!"

then firebombs they're head office.

then crashes a huge fucking plane into their trade center.

I think they'r good for handicapped ppl

jlenko 04-08-2009 12:33 PM

...which is obvious, because it's made by a company managed by retards!

That's so fugging stupid. There's zero storage space, you have to wear harnesses (which detract from the get in / get out easy viewpoint), they're wide, so not really going to be going down the sidewalk... GM should burn for this one.

looks stupid

....yet everyone here was talking about how Toyota's I-Real (or whatever the hell it's called) was a cool idea and that it should be brought over here.

Top Gear approved!
you can use an iReal or a iSeg but you gotta have a helmet on first. In theory the iReal can accelerate from a standstill like a normal kei-car....and that makes it ok to be used on the road.

The segway will be a wide bicycle that uses the lane, do you want that monstrosity to use your lanes?

yvrnycracer 04-08-2009 03:31 PM

isn't the segway illegal here because they can't be on the sidewalk or the road? :confused:

Peturbo 04-08-2009 04:06 PM

^I remember seeing one on hastings as I was entering hwy 1.
Thought i was tripping out at first as I was coming towards it, but as I got closer, there was no doubt it really was one.

Not really the same thing... the I-Real is more like the regular segway. If it was a useless wide 2 seater, I'd be bashing it as well.

Couldn't the 2 seat seagway could used like a scooter and driven on the road.

orange7 04-09-2009 12:17 AM

i wouldn't want to be seen in one, but this is just me.

Boostaholic 04-09-2009 08:05 PM

I'd rock it.

BNR32_Coupe 04-09-2009 08:11 PM

it's a fucking 2 seater wheel chair

Death2Theft 04-09-2009 08:14 PM

Imagine rain and puddles, your gonna get soaked.

underscore 04-10-2009 12:05 AM

there's nowhere acceptable to drive it, and nowhere acceptable to park it. sidewalk = no, road = no, too big for the bike lane, wtf.

keifun 04-10-2009 01:17 AM

?NR 04-10-2009 01:37 PM

I wouldn't want to be in that thing anywhere near regular cars.

monkeywrench 04-10-2009 01:40 PM
