A Segway for the golf course
Okay, now this Segway makes sense. The Segway GT (Golf Transport) features "extended-range batteries, a golf bag carrier, enhanced traction tires, and a special standby key." It's a golf cart for one.
I rode one of these things at the Segway store in the Galleria in Houston. Lot of fun, but I couldn't see spending $6000 on a glorified walker. On the other hand, country clubs and private golf courses can justify spending this kind of scrilla.
And while I'm on the subject: I think Segways are bad-ass. But the company is ultra-lame. I mean, look at the image they present:
Buy a Segway, and you, too, can look like a f*ckin' retard in your helmet.
Gimme a break, man. These things go 12 miles an hour. I guess they're going for the young, smart, sensible parent-types who have craploads of money from their jobs in the tech biz, and who bundle up their allergic, nosebleeding kids in eight layers of hardened plastic before sending them out in the yard to play.
Show me a couple of sexy young late-20-somethings riding one of these through a park or by a lake, and I'm sold.
