My husband tells me a Segway would be a nice toy. But that is all for those who reside in The Villages. He has used a Segway and thinks it would be fun to own...but only for entertainment and novelty. He had a fun time riding one and I remember him coming home telling me about it.

His opinion is it does not have the utility of a golf cart. Nor does it have the speed. For those who work in industrial plants, or areas that mobility is important, a Segway would be of value. In TV, not so. A golf cart will get you where you want to go faster and will also provide storage when needed. He admits Segways have "add ons" to provide for more utilitarian uses but...

An advantage of a Segway vs. a golf cart is that a Segway can be used on sidewalks. I question how many times would this be of benefit to a Villager?

Just his opinion as told to me by him...take it for what's it worth!

If you have money to burn, want a novelty or a toy...then buy a Segway.

Convince me otherwise...
