The SUV of Segways...

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

Well it looks like Segway is not dead yet. First they tempt us with a four wheel bandit (that they never shipped), now they actually ship something cool: Segway | Models and Specifications | Segway XT. The XT is basically a ruggedized Segway with the new LiOn batteries, chrome wheels, and big bouncy monster truck tires. Range is no better than the existing HT (Probably inpart due to the extra 20 pounds), but it looks like fun. I wonder if they will sell an upgrade kit? The price is the same as the old HT as well which they have now discounted. Looks like they are trying the “premium” model strategy to keep price power in addition to a low end model. Interesting….
