    Segway sales are moving fast on Amazon

    The Segway, the new-age scooter that backers say will ``change civilization,'' is supposed to be the fastest company to reach $1 billion in sales.


    meanwhile
    San Francisco bans Segways on sidewalks, bike paths

    The ban is welcomed by Matt Smith, a columnist on San Francisco Weekly. In a hard-hitting polemic, he called the Segway " the ultimate American doomsday machine," potentially responsible for a "tsunami of lard."

      M'yes...that's what Amazon says.

      I'll believe it when I see people using it en masse.

        never as long as things remain as is. the great minds in the amazon affiliate program are insulting people by giving 12$ for each $5000 referred segway sale

            disgusting. No one walks anymore. America will become even fatter.

            wonder what the maximum weight those things can carry is.

                This is a great product and it's good to see that it is becoming successful, even before a wide release. This is sort of the anti-dot.bomb (i.e., an idea without sales).

                Won't be long before you have cheap Chinese knock-offs.

It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

                  Also, just to be clear, the company has not yet made $1 billion in sales. That's just the prediction. ~200,000 units.

                      Bwahahahahahah! Funniest thing I've read all day! True, but just seeing that phrase in the news is hysterical to me!

                          A few months ago ****edcompany.com was claiming that Segway had next to zero sales and was begining to downsize... Don't the stupid things cost something like $US 10,000?
