A Segway is an electrical powered two wheel personal transportation
system. It somewhat resembles a scooter, with the long neck and
handlebars and a flat area for standing. If you live I a major
metropolitan area, chances are you've seen them zipping through the
sidewalks. They are meant to cut down on traffic congestion, and save
some of our gasoline supply. The Segway is designed to give you optimal
balance, and the hand controls are easy to use.
A common problem
with Segways is trying to find out how much they cost. The company
website has no pricing available, but they have plenty of links to
dealers across the country. If you follow the link, you will be taken to
the dealership homepage which will give you a variety of models to
choose from. Once you click on a model to find out more information, you
will be given technical specs and information, and a phone number that
you can call for pricing. If you call the number, chances are you will
be given a message asking you to leave a phone number so the dealership
can call you back.
There are various reasons dealers don't give
prices on the website. The main reason is that the potential customer
might see a price, think it is too much, and lose interest. When you
call for the price, chances are the salesperson is not going to give you
one. The goal of the salesperson is to set an appointment with you to
come to the dealership, because if you are at the dealership the
salesperson has a chance to make a sale. They know that you are more
likely to buy a Segway once you have seen and operated one. The
secondary goal of a salesperson over the phone is to get your contact
information. This can be in the form of a phone number or an Email
address.
A new Segway can cost close to 5 thousand dollars. Many
may think that this is too much money, and that they can buy a good used
car for that amount of money. Yes, you can buy a good used car for that
much, but it won't have the same mobility and capabilities as a Segway.
Think about this, if you were looking at a good riding lawnmower that
cost about the same price, would you buy a used car instead? You
probably won't, because a used car is not going to mow your grass.
A
good, quality used Segway will cost you around twenty five hundred to
three thousand dollars. This is about a 40 percent reduction from the
cost of owning one new. The problem with shopping for a good used Segway
is that they are rare and hard to find. People who buy Segways new are
likely to hold on to them.
I hope this article was informative and
that it helps you in your search for a Segway. To find out if one is
right for you, find a place where you can test one out.
