The recall affects all Segway Human Transporter (HT) models sold to both consumers and corporations between March 2002 and September 2003. It includes the "p" series, which was being sold in certain test markets.


Pretty long time to have a product go by without noticing such a problem. :eyes:

The user comments are great though, check out the anti-* ones! :D

Personally, it's because Dipshit* fell off one that prompted this recall to be investigated in the first place. Are we being bushwhacked again?

2. Not buggy - "Low Battery" is ignored - solution is to turn the low bat
notice on well before the battery is drained (a software fix!)

A 6000 unit recall is Bush's revenge for falling off one.
