A preview of this came out 6 months ago but they said it wouldn't go into production. They lied!

Why timeline there champ? It was JUST leaked. But I guess you are not done looking silly for today

"It looks like Don Chalmers Ford slipped up and accidentally posted all the deets of Segway’s 2005 lineup. Next up: personalized Segways and an all-terrain model with 400 watt/hour Saphion Lithium Phosphate batteries."

"Leaked" a long time ago.

So it went into production? Big deal. Isn't that what concepts are for?

It's still nothing new and needs a timeline.

That's what I was thinking, I saw the video on the segway website a couple of months ago. Looks a lot cooler than the previous model. This one actually looks fun.

Are you and Pachead the same person because you seem to make the same stupid attemps at tring to dis me.

First off I was the one who first showed this concept almost 3 months ago.
http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.p...ay#post2230939

So burn on that one.

Second, as I mention in the first post here they did show it off months ago but they said it wouldn't go into production and didn't list a price.

So in other words the NEW news is that it is in production and they listed a ship date and price.

Burn on that one also.

Third the page i liked to in the first post ALSO shows all the new models and colours that are coming out and that has never been mentioned here.

Burn #3.

Owww you sure showed me. Good "burns" man. /sacrasm] Are you sore that people are getting tired of your US bashing? Pachead... good one. Call me Zimphire next time while you're at it. It isn't insulting. Kind of a compliment actually.

It still didn't need a new thread. Especially since you were the one who "leaked" it in the first place in another thread. How lame and vain of you to start a new thread.

Lastly, Maybe you should start a new nintendo thread announcing that Wal-mart just did a price rollback on the GameCube console. That would be "news" too.

I just noticed last night that there is a Segway Store here in Kansas City about a block away from the new Apple Store. I'll have to go check this out in person. Wonder if they have much on the new models?

Not that I could afford or want one but they are interesting none the less.

Can you put spinners and spoiler on it? Then all you'd need is a "Type-R" sticker and you're be all set.

More like go from one American bashing thread you post to another making fun of you for being such a insecure Canadian.

It isn't them that makes thread after thread about how a certain country sucks.

Yes fanboys have a habit of making comments about their object of fanboyness even when said person isn't even apart of said discussion.

It's a sign of being a fanboy.
