Segway DIY - How to Build a Legway, the Poor Man’s Segway!

Comments

I personally think Segways can be useful in some highly populated areas such as downtown San Francisco/LA/New York, but these things are probably a waste of resources otherwise.

I am beginning to like New York City’s efforts in greening stuff, sorta like San Francisco. On the side note, my favorite trance DJ Tiesto will be at New York, too bad I will be in San Fran.
