New Fast Charger for Segway -- on segway.com! (?)

[SegwayUtah]

Segway is listing a new "Fast Charger" for the Segway on their web site (accessories page).

Fast Charger reduces recharge from full depletion to 3.5 hours and can be left on indefinitely to maintain maximum charge state. Accepts 100-250 Volts.

3.5 hours, for a *full* charge? Not bad at all!

It's too bad they don't have a picture or a price up yet . ..

(2nd to bottom, above tires)

Also, they've added a "tired and wheels" section at the bottom. No new items, but it looks like some new options could be coming!

Richard,

Yes, the new lights are way exciting :) I wish I knew where the battery for them went, though -- does it strap down on the bottom platform?

Also, I just checked, and I don't see a price for the "Fast Charger" -- there is a price for the "Off Board Charger" but there isn't even a picture for the "Fast Charger"

Bizarre.

Thanks for the lighting news (to both you and the other SegwayChat member who posted in the other thread, if it wasn't you there too!)

I believe fast charger is for light without link as yet. I am trying to find out how battery mounts. - http://www.bikelights.com/Products/Arc.htm

Light is similar to my cat eye HID light which lasts for 3 full hours

Yes, the Fast Charger (which I've clarified on the site) is for select lighting accessories listed above it. It is not for the Segway HT itself. Sorry for the confusion.

jgrohol,

Thanks for the clarification. The blue color you put behind the text, and the explanation with it, makes everything so much clearer on the segway.com web site now :) -- thanks!

(it was just confusing below--the fast charger was right underneath the off-board charger, which IS for the Segway) :)

also if you click on the picture of a light (such as the one for $399) it brings up a larger picture with an inset which shows how the battery pack is mounted.
