I was informed by Segway Israel that as of today Segway use is completely legal wherever pedestrian traffic is allowed. This regulation was approved by the Israeli Ministry of Transportation.
We are now full members of the Segway community.

Each road you travel should be just a bit better for having had you pass.

Little by little, country by country, we will gain worldwide acceptance!

I guess that means you can now use a Red key!

Guys,
Thank you for your interest!
I’ve disappeared from the forum for “good” reasons.
After developing a foot problem (tendon inflammations and such) in late July, and after the thing stubbornly failed to go just away on its own, I finally went for a treatment in late August. I went to a chiropractor and the treatment progressed well, so in late September I was back on my feet – literally.
Then I went to serve on a reserve military duty (part of our life here) and was there from the last week of September and the whole of October (no Internet, no Segway and no fun).
This service had an adverse effect on both my feet so I got to a state where I actually could not walk and spent the better part of November with my feet up, recovering and walking short distances leaning on a cane.
Now I am progressing towards a full recovery with a prognosis of 2 to 3 weeks until I fully regain painless walking.
All in all, I did not (could not) glide for the last 4 month and as such I did not feel I had anything to contribute to the gliding community.
As my recovery is progressing I hope to reassume a more active posting posture in this forum and hope to start gliding (and cycling) in the next two weeks.
Segwayowner – right now one dealer covers the whole country. Now that the Segway is legal he hopes his sales will go up but no local dealers yet.
Deviant – Red Key is still not allowed and we are supposed to use the yellow key on pavements. Dah!
and Zoli – what a coincidence!!!! We (wife and kids) are going for a trip to Massada this weekend!!!!!!!! – alas, due to my condition, without the Seg.

Have fun yossi, I went once in the summer, you can die there of the heat, I don't know about now though. Anyways, I guess you won't be taking the snake path either.
OK This is weird but I remember that the gift store place had really good fish, don't ask me why I remembered that.
Have fun!
Refuah Shelaima!
