garimpo 2,029 Posted September 17, 2015 Thanks GJ now my night mares are going to come back! The clostest I've ever come to dying was trying to learn to ride a unicycle. Best I keep my feet on terra firma. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoser John 1,210 Posted September 18, 2015 These are even harder. Just saw one at the skate park and river trail. Start/stop dangerous as can be. I'll stick to Segway as 2 wheels for a ol'fart is safer-John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weaver hillbille 485 Posted September 18, 2015 Sheez, I'll stick to walking. It won't go where I want to... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoser John 1,210 Posted September 19, 2015 New Segway has off road gnarly tires, more powerful and slightly easier to ride but EXPENSIVE John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeoJack 576 Posted December 13, 2015 Just ordered my knobby tire. You guys will be jealous when you see me on the playa with this one. I'll set up my GoPro for some trail riding video. Nice stealthy way to travel on a trail.My mail box is a 1.5 mile round trip with a 455 foot elevation change, I breeze up and down the hill at about 8 - 10 mph. If you have any ailments with walking but standing doesn't effect you, these can help. I have the tingly / numb / pain in the foot thingy going on in both feet and walking is painful, this allows me to get out more without driving either my truck or quad.Watch for them, coming your way soon. These are not those stupid little "Hoverboards" everyone is talking about. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weaver hillbille 485 Posted January 12, 2016 It does sound pretty cool as long as y'all stay shiny side up. NO endo's . I wonder how big of a pebble you have to hit to ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeoJack 576 Posted February 2, 2016 Weaver, I ride it off road, not an issue. Steep grades are a different story as you need to be aware of how fast it will recover when you hit a bump or dip because of battery drain pulling a grade. I'll get some video of me on the trail with detector gear on. Would be excellent for the playa and looking for meteorites. Can't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
