Thanks for the info. I could recall it being mentioned to me some time ago but the details were to say the least hazy.Sinner wrote:No, it was the guy who bought the patent/company.John Lewis wrote:Didn't the designer od the Segway put himself over a cliff on one and wipe himself out?

The Segway does not have a monopoly on lemons. Yikebike (min-ifarthing), Ryno and also sort of fancy designer-shapes that may or may not take off in the market.CommuRider wrote:As @sogood pointed out, plenty of Segways around SOP hereOxford wrote:Segways are illegal in Aus. on open roads/pathways etc as they do not satisify the ADR requirement to have a braking mechanism.

The price is just too prohibitive for it to be a viable means of transportation. Hours of standing up, might as well just get a scooter.

I am only aware of two Sinner Mangos for example in this state (one is Albany and one south of Fremantle) and one unknown brand velomobile. Given there are a few people around here with a keen interest in velomobiles and a WAHPV group I would have thought there would be more awareness of these other velomobiles you refer.GH wrote:I have seen a few Velomobiles around town here, but only on the odd occasion.

Ah okay ... WA forum so thought discussion was about WAGH wrote:I am in QLD, hence posting about Segway approval here, takes effect Thursday this week it seems.
My comment referred to velos in Brissy.
Sorry for the confusion.
