Re: combat segway
I can see it in the next DOD budget: "Only $187,000 per unit!"
I'll bet the producers on the Extreme Sports Channel are salivating over adding this to the venue.
Wonder who will be the first to do a 360 flip?

T4WD augury?

Re: combat segway
I wonder what kind of range it has, it can not be much. Electric power? I do not see any exhaust.
Looks like an expensive toy, with limited utility. The military may just get a number of these gadgets, depending on what congressman live in this companies district.

Re: combat segway
I'll bet that even with the highest tech Lipo cells it has well under 1/2 hour of run time at full power. An electric power assisted MTB would have much greater range and speed. Useful range as a low speed r/c tow rig might be a possibility.Petros wrote:I wonder what kind of range it has, it can not be much. Electric power? I do not see any exhaust.

Re: combat segway
That is weird. When I watched that video before there wasn't any music and you could hear the loud exhaust. It sounded like a 2-stroke engine.

I just love the military industrial complex....more toys for the boys.
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.
