Segway LLC, makers of a much-hyped electric-powered scooter that has captured the imagination of many technophiles, said on November 18, 2002 that consumers could begin ordering the pricey vehicles on Amazon.com for $4,950. Deliveries start in March on a first come, first served basis. Boston police officers Vincent Stancato (L) and Kevin Griffith try out the Segway device Dec. 7, 2001. (Jim Bourg/Reuters)

There was a picture in the Atlanta Journal/Constitution that showed a police officer or a USPS mail carrier who actually had wrecked on one. Poor guy lying on the sidewalk next to his Segway and no one helping him. It looked staged to me...

I wonder when they will come out with the SUV-version. I've got three boys to cart around.
Do you think it will come equipped with a DVD player and cup holders?
