    They sound cool. In fifteen years or so I shall get one instead of a zimmer frame.

    Nah, it was the guy who bought the Segway company that died. Dean Kamen, the guy that invented them is still alive.

    The inventor of the Segway was one when it rolled off a cliff, so you can at least say they test them thoroughly

    I've read that they're not legal for use on road or pavement on some sites but I am not deterred by it, I'm after one for myself and £150 does sound about right to me as they're being made for less and sold at double in the UK even treble on some sites. They also mark quite easily but have been all the rage in China for the last 18 months allegedly, personally I'd just go for it but then I've always been one for buying gadgets
