Segway was invented by an American, Dean Kamen — NOT by a Japanese scientist. Search wikipedia for: Segway, Dean Kamaen. Search Google for Segway to learn about his company.

Japan, free Peter Bethune! Boycott all Japanese products until their whale and dolphin killing stops.

@masterd151 Then you’d have to jump off before it hit the top speed of 2 MPH.

The use for this is for immobile people, such as the old or disabled, not the usual market

its not for america, its for japan. unlike america, japan is much more denser, so it takes little time to get around place. they dont really need to travel far. so devices like this are ok to use.

well, unlike america, the japanese are in good shape, i dont really see any of them fat. you see, the japanese, they dont need to work out more, so they can use these things.

I had a company cruise on the Segway X2. From what I’ve seen in the video, the X2 is faster and bigger than the Toyota Winglet making the Winglet boring and uncompetitive. Toyota, please just copy the Segway X2, offer it for 1000 USD and I’ll buy it.

useless stuff from japan. why would you need something like that, if you are paralised you cant stand up(or you could invest the money in spinal injuries research) and if you are tired you’ll take a bus or a car, or rest. but why stand up?????

Why do we need this if we have (folding) bicycles? Or just walk? I see a fat, obese future. Next step? Watch Wall-e and you can tell.
