I was actually watching this video today sitting in with some <a href="https://www.orthocenterillinois.com/orthopedic.html">orthopedic surgeons in illinois</a>. They all sure had their opinions. I sure hope the gas prices go down. What do you think will happen next summer?
Sounds great but those of us that live in a rural area with a 30 mile one way commute, brutal winters and no public transportation are just stuck without a solution. My monthly gasoline bill is $2800 because my husband drives for a living (checking oil wells). BTW his pay has never gone up even though his largest expense has (thank you very much generous oil employers).
I have been riding my motorcycle to work, instead of my pickup, for years. 45 mpg vs 15 mpg. Those Segways are interesting and I would like to take one for a ride but I am moving to the country so one of those would not work for me.
For a total investment of about $1,800 (scooter, helmet, lock, safety class and insurance), I think my investment was more bang for my buck. Sure I''m still buying gas but approximately $6 a week sure beats what I''d pay to drive the Jeep. While the scooter doesn''t protect against the elements, it''s surprising how frequently I can ride instead of drive -- of course, living in Central Texas helps. And I have room to carry some stuff plus can get up to 65 mph. The scooter definitely makes more sense and the Jeep gets driven on the worst days or when I plan my monthly need to drive to do grocery shopping, etc.
Little bit of planning and a decision to not drive the Jeep except when necessary, my savings is significant.
A scooter is a more practical solution. For the guy with the 1.4 mile commute, a regular old-fashioned bike might be nice. A little bit of exercise, no electricity required. Heck, on nice days, a little walk to work wouldn''t be bad.
I''ve seen these things in action with parking cops using them to patrol lots. My mobility scooter has one more wheel, a padded seat and a basket for a lot less money. I get about 20-25 miles per charge and take mine into most stores and even some restaurants.

Re: "A Beneficiary Of High Gas Prices: Segways"
And another beneficiary: the blood-drenched greedy oil pirates of Exxon-Mobil.
