Easy answer... it's safer and more comfortable to stand up. Harder answer, the Segway vehicle is the only electric "scooter" that has been legalized to drive on any road or sidewalk in my Province... No license, insurance or helmet necessary.

segway is just a marketing coup.

bike is more practical,ie. range,visibility,maneuverability,cost,etc.

 

[USAEBIKECO]

Its funny cause i see tourists in downtown chicago on segway tours thinking wow segways are so great, but theyre not. too expensive, slow,weird looking ect

 

[vanilla ice]

If they cost the same as an ezip nobody would be complaining about the rest. But its so damned expensive none of the rest matters.

WTF caliber are those mini machine guns BTW? 0.177??

lol This picture is so funny. It looks really riduculous!

 

[yopappamon]

You can't ride a bike AND hold a mini machine gun. Lmao

 

[gestalt]

Speak for yourself.

 

[johnrobholmes]

Yeah really. I could shoot on a bike just fine, just have to have the bike setup for the right weight bias and steering sensitivity. Haven't you ever seen a James Bond movie? :lol:

 

[grindz145]

I have never got these things.

 

[johnrobholmes]

They are outlawed in both the streets and sidewalks in my town. No place to use them!

Babies with their little guns...

For Real Men:

I do think though that the holstered weapon does add a certain cachet:
