A mate and I went to a paint ball/big boys toys show today. A friend of mine was showing off the new off-roading Segway.
It's pretty amazing. Amazing price too. Just $12,000.

Jerry wont aprrove, theres no places to mount tow hooks. I think we should send Jerry to Segway HQ to give them the tow hook lecture.

anyone wanna try these out, then come to Taupo. They hire them out for $10 for about 10 mins I think, on the lake front.

At least they appear to be solid axle... Even Segway realise the futility of IFS for offroading
