They have three keys, a black key that governs the Segway to go no more than 6 mph, the yellow key that limits it at 8 mph and the red key that allows the Segway to travel up to 12 mph (the maximum speed). As a disabled Segway user, I only use the black key (as most disabled users do). I have had my Segway for almost 5 years, used it everyday and have had no accidents with pedestrians, whether in buildings, on pathways or outside. I have used it in some of the busiest airports and cities in the United States and have seen several accidents with motorized scooters (with injuries) due to their weight, momentum once engaged and lack of visibility for the driver and pedestrians. Before judging them as dangerous for the disabled, I would encourage people to visit a retailer and learn more about them and not listen to hearsay.</p>asquareSat, 18 Oct 2008 02:16:59 -0000
