These things are pretty damn cool. Its strange when you first get on but you ge tthe hang of it pretty quick. I can't wait to go cruising around the French Quarter in them.

[swoop]

How fast do they go?

Does it depend on the person riding it?

[luke]

There are different keys that control the speed. The first one I got on went only 6mph but with a different key with went up to 12mph and it seemed pretty fast.

Just waiting for www.lukesSegwaywhores.com now :D

Can't wait to see you cruise the town for chicks to bang while going 6mph down the street :p

[luke]

HAHA, I don't think I'd even try that one on of those...I was scared to even try to ride it with no hands. But we should have some pictures soon of hot chicks on them...hehe.

I've never seen one of those before.
What are they gas powered or what?

I've seen a guy ride one to work every day on my way to my old job. They look like so much fun!

No, its powered off of batteries that last a good amount of time and some gyroscopic balancing system, not exactly sure how it work.

We going to be starting a rental company for them down in the French Quarter area. http://www.segland.com I think its a pretty cool idea.

They are definitely fun. They had to yank me off of it yesterday. And then I made all these funny animated gifs http://www.lukemccoy.us/segway/animated.html

And how about this one, hehehe.

Those are good Luke... Stan and Mike are having a good time I see!

[luke]

Definitely! We were like a bunch of kids on them yesterday. Any cars passing were slowing down to check them out, kids were coming outside to check them out...its was pretty funny.

[Mister X]

Starting a rental place sounds like a good idea. They look like the ideal thing to use for sightseeing.

[luke]

Yeah. I think I'm going to be riding them around in the French Quarter Sunday. Should be pretty fun.

They are a lot of fun. Yesterday, 5 of us were riding around the french quarter on them. They get a lot of attention. We've got 5 more on the way so next weekend me might be 10 deep...lol. The Segway Posse!

They are definitely fun and its a weird feeling. I'm guessing the closest thing would be like riding a unicycle...but I've never rode one of them before.

[Cyndalie]

I couldn't resist posting this! Our beloved president on a segway :)

[luke]

Thats pretty funny. We had a crash on one already too.
