It looks like the Segseat will be available soon. Here is what their website says.

This site is being finalized.
We will be able to take orders 1st-2nd week of February,

Scotty have in changes in material or design been made to your seat now that you have the production models coming out? Price? I think they are great and will enable many more folks the opprotunity to glide.

$749.00. A bit high but I would assume these are almost "one-offs: and that can be $$.

There is also a very limited market so it would take "Brass ones" to make a large production run.

Tarkus figured it out.. machining parts in small runs is crazy expensive... I also run very high-end radio control cars, and just as an example, here is a part on one of my trucks...

these are about the size of a fist, but they sell for $517.50...
mostly because they are machined in runs of about 50...

Uh, your legs / feet / knees / ankles / hips aren't up to standing for the three or more hours it takes to drain your Saphion batteries?

Or... the mall you visit has a strict wheelchair policy. Now you have a wheeled chair. If they get constipated about it, you can drag along two small caster wheels to make it a four-wheel wheelchair.
