Well maybe it does, seeing GM is involved to save the company.
The 300-pound prototype runs on a lithium-ion battery and uses Segway's characteristic two-wheel balancing technology, along with dual electric motors. It's designed to reach speeds of up to 35 miles-per-hour and can run 35 miles on a single charge.
Can't you just see this thing going down the road 35 and has an emergency stop right on its nose.
Now lets take it one step further since a Segway's base price is like $5000, now add GM's R&D and we see a piece of crap for $25000. Good use of money. But we can't import a car from Europe that exits now for $10000. That will go near the hiway speed limit and has a useful range. Why doesn't GM just buy that company out with our bailout $$$$.
Now let's get rid of the diesel, get those motor homes on 2 wheels and have a balanced retirement. Be able to drive, oh, 20-30 miles on a charge. Then sleep well balanced at Walmart.
Does some of this crap seem crazy or is it just me getting old and tired of pay too much for too little and then paying others bill too!!!!
