Nerds and transportation buffs will both know about the Segway Personal Transporter, the funky single person vehicle that looks like a cross beween a step ladder, a unicycle, and a horse-less chariot. While this futuristic device has yet to make it into mainstream use and acceptance, the company has recently decided to target the golf market and is offering a modded version that acts as a mix of caddy and golf cart, taking up a little more space than the former, yet allowing greater movement than the latter. Here’s a quote from their site:
Special low-pressure tires barely disturb the turf and provide a smooth ride over a variety of terrain. Based upon the Segway x2, it features new LeanSteer technology, a wireless InfoKey controller, long-lasting Saphion® lithium-ion batteries and includes the following components:
* Golf Bag Carrier Attachment secures your golf bag to the Segway x2 Golf and allows for easy dismount and club access while playing. Removes easily for storage and transport
* Scorecard Holder keeps your scorecard, golf balls, and tees readily accessible
I know I’d like to try one. I would guess that some golf resorts will buy a fleet of these and offer them as an alternative to riding in the cart…
