Gizmodo tells us that the folks at Segway have introduced a golf version of their scooter. Pricing isn't yet available. We sure hope this version of the Segway scooter has fewer problems than the consumer version that was recalled in September (all 23,500 of them!)
Here's the description from the Segway site:
The x2 Golf: fairway- friendly
The Segway® Personal Transporter (PT) x2 Golf is fun, easy to maneuver, and much smaller than a standard golf car. Special low-pressure tires barely disturb the turf and provide a smooth ride over a variety of terrain. Based upon the Segway x2, it features new LeanSteer technology, a wireless InfoKey controller, long-lasting Saphion® lithium-ion batteries and includes the following components:
