Forget The Segway, Ride A Trikke!
2012-01-17 13:25:00 From Coolest Gadgets: I suppose that the Segway industry really has yet to take off, but I like the idea of personal mobility. I suppose I would have to group the Trikke with Segway-style products, but the Trikke has three wheels and not two self-balancing ones. Read the whole artic
MODERN VINTAGE ADS
2011-10-14 08:43:00 Online creative publication, Lost At E Minor, recently posted a series of vintage ads featuring some of today's most popular services and gadgets. The premise? Showcasing that, while technology and design may have evolved, fundamental human desires like travel, entertainment, access to literature and information, sharing with family, and making new friends, have changed very little throughout the century.
Fright-seeing on Chicago's Haunted Segway Tour!
2009-10-20 23:07:00 Absolutely Chicago Segway (377 E. Randolph Street) has only been in business for a year, but this Halloween season, they're hoping to make a frightful impression.Through October 31st, the company is offering a nightly "Haunted Segway Tour" which rolls by the creepiest places downtown has to offer. Once you're all squared, or I should say circled away on your Segway, guides dressed in macabre outfits will take you to various "haunted" places. Stops include Buckingham Fountain, where your guide will discuss the haunting of the Congress Hotel (great view of it from there). Other stops include sites of the Fort Dearborn Massacre, the Eastland Disaster, and the Iroquis Theater alley. While learning about some of Chicago's tragic past, the company...
Have fun off the segway
2009-08-09 20:49:00 I woke up this morning and decided to head outside and get moving. I grabbed some friends and their dog and headed into this highly anticipated hot summer day. (finally) As we walked around the park I was ecstatic to see people being active. There were people running, practicing yoga, walking, playing soccer and women participating in a breast cancer walk. I was happy to see the heat did not hinder people from enjoying some fun activities. As I continued to walk in my bliss, there they were...people on segways....

GM and Segway Team Up to Create 2 Person City Cruiser
2009-04-21 19:03:00 I think it is safe to say that almost everyone remembers the Segway Scooter and how many different reactions it brought from different people. Segway has since remained under the radar for the most part, until just recently when they and GM partnered up to make a small city transport dubbed PUMA.
The GM / Segway P.U.M.A.

Toyota presenta un competidor para el Segway
2008-08-01 20:39:00 Parecía extraño que no se presentaran aparatos similares al Segway, tal vez su diseño y tecnología no permitía que muchas empresas “copiaran” la idea.

Segway tour Atlanta
2008-05-15 05:48:00 Had a great time this evening Segwaying around downtown Atlanta. About a week ago in an effort to find something different to do, I was poking around Holiday inn's Ultimate Experiences section. I discovered Atlanta Segway tours. Decided to give it a try, this was my second time on a segway, rode one for less than 15 minutes at a company I was doing training for a few years back. Like Lisa (our tour guide) it is a lot like riding a bike. In less than 5 minutes I was up and going again. The video they make you watch ahead of time is a little unnerving, but in my opinion it is pretty easy and just takes a little common sense to ride. The weather was beautiful, and the price to play ($60 bucks) is well worth it. In truth it really could not have been a bad experience seeing as I had the best company in the world to enjoy this with ;-) I will put up a few pictures I snapped later, I am off to bed - work in the morning.
Expect to see more mall security on the Segway
2008-05-14 23:56:00 Simon Property Group, a company that provides security solutions to corporations all over the U.S., has announced that it is rolling out Segway i2s to its entire fleet of shopping mall security guards. The latest purchase will make Simon's fleet of 225 Segways the largest in the world. Apparently, the mounted security guards have been a hit with pedestrians, which provides "social interaction" that would otherwise be impossible and allows the security guards to do a better job of keeping the peace. Say what you want about the Segway, but you must admit that they are noticeable, which is definitely a good thing when it comes to security. If you frequent malls in major cities like San Diego, Las Vegas, Houston, Miami or Boston, expect to become even more familiar with security guards mounted atop their trusty steeds. There's just one more question to ask: just how green will they really be?Press Release:Company now has over 225 units deployed at more than 125 shopping malls nationwi...

Segway i2 is now green for real
2008-05-05 05:52:00 Segway transporters hold a special place on our site as technologically advanced electric two-wheelers available all over the world. While the Segway's usefulness as a transportation device is often scrutinized, the zero-emissions status of the self-balancing little machine is not up for debate. Now, the Segway i2 even comes painted in the right color: green. Specifically, the chosen hue is known as "Metallic Sage." Apparently, just calling it green doesn't do the new shade justice, as Segway remarks that the color "has a goldish finish with hues of green and a metallic underbody that grabs changing light." But wait, there's more, the "Segway wordmark is presented in an off-white green with a subtle outline above the gray i2 logomark."To be frank, our meager blogging budgets don't allow us to afford a Segway i2 anyway, but if we were to purchase one, this is the color that we'd choose.[Source: Segway via Engadget]

Audi Snook concept makes the Segway look so last century
2008-04-22 22:44:00 The Audi Snook concept performs quite the balancing-act. There's just one contact point hitting terra firma. While the Segway only has to balance in one direction, the Snook would go all the way ... kinda like a unicycle rider. We can see no real point to this concept, other than to look cool, but it still managed to pick up the win at the Michelin Design Challenge at the Detroit Auto Show. In all reality, assuming this thing were electric, it would eat up lots of juice just staying upright. If the entire goal were to ease congestion, perhaps an idea like this would have more merit. For now, though, we'd wager that this one's just gonna stay a concept. Click here to see all of the 2008 Michelin Design Challenge entries.[Source: Michelin Design Challenge via Tuvie.com]

Video: Huckabee on a Segway
2007-12-28 03:26:00 Leading presidential candidate Mike Huckabee took a ride on a Segway recently, as you can see in the video above. He goes about 0.0000005 MPH while someone holds him and someone else actually screams "moving forward." I am assuming his handlers wanted to avoid the photo-op and headline "Huckabee crashes Segway" which happened to president Bush as you can see in the pictures to the right. In the video above, Mike asks if he "can run over" the reporters surrounding him and the video ends with Mike saying "I didn't fall off and that was the main thing." The HuckChuckFacts video below was much cooler.Related: Videos: Goober and Gomer in a flex fuel, plug-in hybrid? (Republicans debate PHEVs) Huckabee tells us God is green [Source: Fox News] |
