Not true. The link, http://handsfree-transporter.com/, was not working at the time of my posting. It is now, and I can click on all of the thumbnails in the gallery.

I love this one of Jackie Chan:

This one's interesting, too: notice the reversed i2 wheels and customer fenders:

Sorry, I was referring to the link in the first post.

That's OK.

I'm just very pleased about this significant use of the Segway PT. I'd LOVE to try a hands-free AND one with a Steadicam!

What's with the hula-hoop lookin' thing bolted on the Seg?

It's probably for attaching the lower part of a costume to so that the fabric doesn't get fouled in the wheels. I've seen other videos of such getups based on hands-free Segway PTs.

Very interesting. Is this what Segsby was describing in his post about DrMarty's mod"

Also, can anyone identify the kickstand on this web page?

Aloha,

And I got my new black LSF to have the mod built from, today. *finally*

Rodger (Segwaiian) That kickstand is the one that DS International, Glendale, Az. is selling I think they are in E-Bay...I've been using one for a couple months and it's great..It has some front clearance problems, But until somebody comes up with one better..It's a real kickstand...I went back and bought 12 more for my friends.. (around $25 ea.)..I liked the lifting handles in that same link...Stan

And we know the people who can make one up for you too!

Well Maybe you should come hang out at a DRAFT event and you would see that kind of add on!

Pretty Cool!

[serrow]

there is a X2 lsf on ebay now if anyone wants to chop it for this mod.

Ari made mine about 8 months ago. It is perfect. You feel like you are dancing. I haven't used handlebars for about 8 months, maybe more. I just spent all day at the Red Bull Air Races in San Diego with the Handsfree set up. Hmm I went to it last year with the handsfree. Could it be a year already? At any rate it sure gets attention as you glide by. And boy is it nice to be able to carry 2 drinks or two plates of sliders or two Red Bulls. Da chicks dig it!

With Ari's set up I can take the upper segment of the handlebars, put a hole in the lower end of the bar and if I wanted (which I don't) I can slip out the pads and slip in the handlebar with just the adjusting knob and it is about one or two inches shorter than I used to use it in prehistory days.

You don't need no stinkin' handlebars.

I'll have mine at Segfest of course.

How is it in a panic stop? Noticeably different?

[serrow]

drmarty --- would love to see pics and video. to be honest, it might scare me not to have that third point of contact. Any crashes? topple over?
