Hey All!
We are having great results with our Mountaineer studded extra-traction tires. Snow and ice? No problem! (see Dereks snow video)
Mud and wet grass? Get out of here! (read Jeff Allens product review)
With studded extra-traction tires there is now virtually nowhere a Segway can't glide (except on water and we're working on that too!)
I still have left a few sets of my original 12 pairs of tires that I've earmarked for my Beta testing program. You pay the shipping charges only (as high as $60 if you want them fast, or $30 ground shipping) I have talked with a few of you and haven't heard back from you yet. I am still looking for a few more testers to try them and tell us here at SC what you think, and any improvements I could make.
My cost is appr. $550 a set (labor, carbide studs, and $400 a set extra-traction tires) I'ld been thinking of getting $650 a set after the Beta testing is over, but that is too darn high! When my webpage is open for business later this week I'll list them at $600 a pair and hope that soon LLC will give me a pricebreak. ($600 is still darn high but its the best I can do for now). If any of you SC members are interested in participating, let me know on this thread or email me!

Let us know when your web page is up and running. The studded tires are not practical for city use. It looks like you have a good idea for you country folks!!!

Fantastic work Zorba!

You are bridging the gap.

I'm a city glider, so I'm not doing off-road. Otherwise I'd jump at the chance. Good luck!

Zorba,

If you happen to have a HT that I could use, I would gladly beta the Mountaineers. (but that is very unlikely)

Good Afernoon, I am technically a beta-tester even though I purchased the Mountaineers, as opposed to borrowing them for the test period. We are now having snow and I plan to have some more fun.....err testing. I have purchased a Sony Digital8 but haven't mastered the downloading to my website. However, for those that have interests in Zorba9's tires, keep checking my website, I will get the videos mastered, eventually.

I am interested here in New Jersey - the default destination of almost all Nor'easter snow storms - or so it seems lately. :-(

I have Emailed you privately.

Thanks Guys! I'll get back to all of you that have emailed me this evening or tomorrow. To the rest of you, thanks for the support!
I value greatly my association with SegwayChat and we have all come a long way since last winter. Heres to SegFest 2004!!!

Zorba,

I am going crazy with all this snow, ice and cold here in the Boston suburbs. I am very interested in beta testing your tires... I was talking on the live chat above just the other day about them. I mostly glide on pavement, but there is quite a bit of snow and ice. Please email me and we can start a correspondence !

Thanks,

This is "crash" here ~~ Let me at those tires, I'll give you a true test.

Hey All! Mr. Laurenzano is going to Beta test a set of my Gladiators! Seems he is in the perfect setting for these "dangerous-looking" super studs. He's got miles of beaches, and miles of mountain trails all in the same area where he lives. In soft sand these tires will preform better than the Mountaineers, just don't run over your foot! -:)
